Come feature time, Dario Capirchio started on pole ahead of Stu Robinson Jr., John Cadman, Glenn Watson, Jamie Richardson, Adrian Foster, Chris Burrows, Cayden Lapcevich, Roy Passer, Mike Miller, and Craig Stevenson.
The drop of the green flag saw a battle for the lead between Capirchio and Robinson, with Capirchio grabbing the top spot on Lap 3. Watson would move up into second, challenging Capirchio for the lead two laps later, but was unable to make the pass. Cadman ran third ahead of Lapcevich, Robinson, Richardson, Foster, Burrows, Miller, and Passer.
Lapcevich continued to make his way forward, moving up into the second spot by Lap 15 ahead of Watson, Cadman, Robinson, Richardson, Foster, Burrows, Miller, and Passer. Lapcevich’s climb to the front would be complete by Lap 21, as he’d take the top spot ahead of Capirchio, with Cadman getting around Watson for third.

The race would not go green to checkered, with the caution coming out on Lap 30 for Capirchio having a mechanical failure and stopping in turn two.

Watson got the spot on Lap 32 ahead of Robinson, with Richardson rounding out the top-five ahead of Foster, Burrows, Miller, and Passer. Unfortunately, Foster’s run came to an end on Lap 37 as he would head pit side following contact with the wall.
