By lap 22, Shepard was on Rahmer's bumper and looking for a chance to make a pass. Lap 23 saw Shepard still poised and his opportunity came on lap 24. He dove under Rahmer entering turn three and emerged with the lead. Shepard pulled away, and his second consecutive Tri-City Speedweek victory was his. It never ran the rest of the race.
