At the drop of the green flag, Wittmer took control of the race and set a grueling pace for the second place Aldo/Northwest driver Greg Pootmans and Mathieu Audette of Audette Racing.

For the entire 25 laps race Wittmer held off the field and was able to take home the top spot on the podium. Pootman's pulled out everything he had in an attempt to catch and pass Wittmer, while watching the rear view mirror as Audette was right behind him the entire time.

The large crowd in attendance was treated to a fierce battle in the extremely competitive Touring class, as Roxton Pond native, Michel Sallenbach driving for Octane Motorsports took over first place on the 4th lap and never looked back. Durabond/Compass360 Racing's Anthony Rapone was able to get by his team mate Karl Thomson who would round out the third step on the podium..
