The race was marked by significant attrition among top competitors. Initial leader Brent Crews, who set a track record in qualifying, retired with transmission issues. Paul Menard, who had worked his way into contention, later went off track after a major lockup.
Brabham took the lead after Crews' retirement and maintained control despite pressure from his competitors. The race finished under yellow conditions following multiple incidents, with Adam Andretti taking second and David Pintaric claiming third.
