The grid reformed behind Grief who got away well although McLaughlin wasn’t too far adrift whilst Mayes appeared in third whilst David Aldous was sent spinning on the pit bend. McLaughlin was slowly being reeled in by Mayes whilst Jacob Downey was holding fourth. James Letford spun right in front of Grief which allowed McLaughlin to close slightly. Paul Honeyman was sent spinning although he was able to restart but had lost ground. Grief continued on his merry way reeling off the laps before winning the Superbowl from McLaughlin and Mayes. Conrad Self, who won the first Superbowl was on hand to present the trophies to the first three.
