NOTE: Actual lanes not known. Winner listed first.
This had the makings of a close race until Coan chopped the tree down with a double-oh light, then something let go in Bourgeois' engine, with lots of white smoke (possibly water) off the right side of his engine. That slicked up his right-rear slick and his car started to make a hard right turn, so he had to lift.
