then with Franca taking over lead duties on lap 6. They had just under a second gap of P3 man Ayrton Demoss at the time, and the switch proved to be fruitful, as the pair cut their fastest laps of the race just 2 laps later. Behind them it was a less than smooth opening lap, with a couple of incidents would see a few contenders knocked down the order, and others score penalties in the process. Making their way through the hornets nest was former series champ Diego Morales, who would eventually work his way up into the third position by lap 11, clocking the fastest lap of the race in the process. The gap to the lead duo was nearly 2 seconds at that point, but things weren’t going to stay single file for long; Fite would make his bid for the lead on lap 12, and with a look over his shoulder, Franca would wait a lap to maintain the gap over Morales, before attacking for the lead on the penultimate lap. As it usually does on Grande, it would come down to the final corner, although this time, Franca would be able to hold off the last ditch effort from Fite, with Morales closing in enough to get in the win shot.
