Race report

The Dick Johnson Racing outfit were very fast right from qualifying with them achieving a one-two, with Radisich achieving a time over half a second faster than his closest competitor, Steven Johnson. However, it would be Johnson that would achieve pole position after Radisich spun during his shootout lapping, dropping him to fifteenth.
