Vladimir Orlov 365 5. Joe Sabella 290 The lead would stay his too, as the infighting started immediately, allowing him to pull out to over a second lead in the opening lap. Alexander Bermudez got the short end of the stick, starting off pole but hung out more than once on lap one to fall to 9th and out of contention. Veterans Taylor Hays and Bill Krieg led the charge against the leader, joined by TJ Blackledge and relative newcomer to the Super Series, former competition karter Paulo Franca. Franca would be the first to break up the uneasy alliance, first passing Blackledge, and then making moving up to second one lap later, with Blackledge, Hays, and Kreig sorting things out to fall in line. Unfortunately for the latter two, the rest of the field had closed the gap, and they had no intentions of settling in. From there the truce was reinstated between Blackledge and Franca, setting their sights on the leader Severson, simultaneously closing the gap while pulling away from the infighting for fourth place. With three to go they caught Severson, and immediately Franca made the move to take over the top spot. Blackledge would promote himself to second one lap later, the move giving Franca a slight advantage as they came to the white flag. It would be too much for either to eclipse, with Paulo France scoring his first Super Series victory, over TJ Blackledge, and Tony Severson. Sportsman Points 1. Dmitry Korotkov 606 2.
