Surprisingly well behaved there were 25 of the 30 starters to finish on the lead lap.  The battle between Jason Birdsell and Chris Harding was intense along with many other on going battles through the pack.  It literally was a 25 car train at times with bump drafting allowed for the 4 cycle classes.
