Hagan is 2 - 0 against Arend in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. Hagan is out of the gate first and never trailed and Arend started to lose traction early. He pedaled it and couldn't get it to hook back up, while Hagan started to haze the tires and mix up cylinders on the top end, but held on for the win. Hagan wins his first National event win in four tries, and in the 23 year history of this event the number five qualifier wins.
