From there however the jockeying for position increased in fervor, with Morales making his move to the point, bringing along Prieto with him. With Morales now out front and a fellow Colombian in Prieto acting the pusher, things again calmed down at the point, but there was a long train of drivers behind that were anything but. In the final lap things would erupt in a flurry of action, first at the front with Prieto making a long-awaited move for the lead on Morales, the contact seeing him slide back to 3rd, and the clutches of the waiting gaggle of drivers. The pack behind the leading would be three wide heading into Contino, with drivers flaying out across the track as they exited towards horseshoe. The action continued there as well, and heading into the final corner there was virtually no piece of track not covered by a kart. At the checkered flag it would be Prieto out front, followed by Patrick Britain and Diego Morales, the duo somehow coming out ahead of the onslaught. Post-race, Prieto would be moved back behind Morales for the contact during the pass, allowing Patrick Britain to score his 8th career win.
