With his sights set on the lead, Cooper closed down on Sayles and made the winning pass on Lap 5, quickly opening a gap once out front. That left the battle for the remaining spots on the podium between Sayles, Teasdale, and Williamson. On Lap 9 Williamson began a climb back to the front following his misfortune, passing Teasdale for third. He gained even more ground on Lap 12 by making the pass for second over Sayles. Third place would change hands on the final lap when Teasdale took Sayles off the podium. Cooper cruised to another Baltimore win, crossing the line 7.1 seconds ahead of Williamson, who recovered nicely from his early crash. Teasdale completed the podium in third. Harrison bounced back from his tough start to finish fifth. The victory allowed Cooper to take over control of the Eastern Regional Championship, surpassing Harrison to establish a two-point lead. Williamson sits third, just six points out of the lead.
