La version française ici Chris Raabe of Alexandria Ontario pulled off a stunning victory coming from 11th place to take the checkered flag in the 50 lap Memorial Cup. At first, the race was starting to look like a dominant night once again for Tim Fuller in the number 19. In the background though Chris Raabe was picking off one driver at a time moving through the field. Chris drove from his 11th place starting position to 3rd just behind Lee Ladouceur, by lap 38 when a yellow came out. This Bunch up the field for a restart once the track was clear. With 12 to go and the green flag showing Chris took the high groove and within two laps drove around Ladouceur followed by Fuller taking a car lengths lead. But once again on lap 47, there was a caution bunching up the field, once again.
