It is Mason Fuller who completes a mistake free 10 minute stint without a fuel stop that is able to hold the fast charging David Ronnefalk behind! Chase Lemieux shows his pace once more and takes third just a few tenths back from David.

It was again the Americans who were able to stretch out their mileage as all Americans on the top 13 barring Brandon Rose ran a full 10 minute stint. For the Europeans the story was the exact opposite as Noha Ben Mohamed was the only European who was able to make the run without a fuel stop.

Ronnefalk's pace right now is able to be matched by no one and if he is able to go 10 minutes there should be no stopping him. The whole Xray seems to be on great pace with 3 cars in the top 5 as Dakotah Phend joins Chase and David at the top. Canas and Fuller are the clear top guys for Sworkz looking really comfortable. Even though Davide Ongaro seems to be struggling like we rarely see him do, the rest of the Associated team seems to be doing really well with Rivkin in 6th and Rose, Kaerup and Horne in 9th, 10th and 11th.

Ryan Maifield was on really good pace but a costly mistake dropped him from a likely top 5 down to 13th and a similar story was in play for Burak Kilic who ended the round in 9th. Noha Ben Mohamed seems to have eaten something great for breakfast today as he is right there in terms of pace with the top 5 losing out 4th in the round due to a slightly slow last lap.
