Munroe Motors’ Tom Montano won the shortened Buell Pro Thunder race on a Dunlop-equipped Ducati 748 over Tilley Buell’s Tripp Nobles and Dean Mizdal on a Ducati 748.

The race was stopped after six laps when Cycle World Contributing Editor Nick Ienatsch ran into the back of a lapped rider while running in second place behind Montano. The red flag came out to remove Ienatsch’ BCM Motors’ Ducati 748 from the middle of the track between turns three and four. Ienatsch was able to make the re-start from the back of the grid and managed to finish eighth.

The race was finally stopped again and declared complete on lap 14 of 17 for an oil spill in turn five.
