Garness got a good start from pole – a pole that had put him a cool 1.6 seconds clear – and shot off into the lead after lights out. After getting past Evan Belford (City Lifting by RS Racing), only Stephenson could initially stay in touch with the points leader, slowly reeling him back in over a number of laps. The number 23 also tried his luck at getting past but wasn’t able to keep up the challenge as the laps ticked down, eventually forced to settle for a nevertheless impressive P2. Garness just kept the hammer down, and by the time he rolled round to meet the chequered flag it was 7.946 seconds of clear air behind him as the number 57 took another impressive win.
