Doug Coby of Milford was second and Rowan Pennink of Huntingdon Valley, Pa. third.

Danny Bohn led the first 120 laps of the event before pitting under caution and handing the lead to Pennink with 30 laps remaining. On the ensuing restart, Hirschman went to the lead past Pennink and never trailed again.
