The entire field was able to make it through not only the opening corners, but through the entire lap with minimal issue, and crossing the line to lead that lap was Charles Eichlin. Slotting in behind him from the get go was Miles Calvin, with Chris Huerta, Alyssa Yauney, and Taylor Hays filling out the rest of the top five. By lap four it was now just a quartet, with Hays dropping off the back of the group to fend off a new group of four that had formed, while Yauney made the move on Huerta to advance up to third. There things would stay calm for a few laps, the lead trio slowly edging away from Chris, making it just a three horse race in the end. On lap 10 the 2016 champ made his move, taking over the lead with Yauney following suit, dropping Eichlin back to third, but not out of it. There again they would stay in line, right up to the final corner as they came to the white flag. Alyssa would make her move out of Long Beach, and with a little help from Charles, was able to clear Miles into turn number one, her rivals now side by side for second. This was essentially the end of the fight for the win, as both Calvin and Eichlin negotiated for the runner-up spot, Yauney continued to pull away on the final lap, scoring her second win of the year and her Super Series career. Miles would claim best of the rest over Charles, the latter putting in a stellar point day to become just the second driver this season to eclipse the 400-point mark.
