En route to finishing second, Speedyman11 led 34 laps of his own to harbor a close battle for the trophy. In a fine effort, d3efan claimed the third-place position, crossing the finish 1.0 seconds behind lepage71. A few paces back, Jes Rathbun and Bandit were not to be forgotten either, locking down fourth and fifth to fill out the top-five. The victory sets lepage71 just 0 points behind in the initial standings. In its next event, the Cup Series heads to Mexico2007 in what promises to be another shootout.
