A huge smokescreen ensues as Lee gathers it up. However, his front left has locked up and with sparks flying as he goes down the backstraight it sees him pull off next time around. 1 takes 197 into turn 3 with a few laps left. Ashleigh still holds the lead up front with a great drive and with 3 to go has the World Champ looming large in her mirrors. 2 to go sees 1 pass 492 into turn 3 with a tap on the rear bumper to move her off line. 16 does a last bender on 166 for the minor placings.

Ed walks away ok. The race leading 345 pulls off with a flat front right. 308 leads off the restart with 48 in close behind. The 308 car maintains the gap however until a spinning 251 in turn 4 catches the car and sends it on a wayward trajectory into the homestraight. 259 then ends up tangling with the 251 car and both come to a stop at the entrance to turn 1. 295 hits the 259 car at full chat bringing out the checkers and reds together.
