After setting the fastest lap on Saturday, Clemente Huerta Raab (No. 17 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) led the field to the green flag. With the Chilean immediately pulling to the front, second-place starter Gastón Irazú (No. 27 Elia Group / Baly / Canal 4 / Ancap / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F422) was immediately challenged by third-place starter Caleb Campbell (No. 68 Steele Auto Group / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422). As Campbell pulled ahead, Irazú dove to the inside of Turn 2, but moved up the track and made contact with Campbell, to spin both drivers. Irazú was the first car to refire and leave the scene, but Campbell moved ahead once again as Irazú spun again on the same lap. Through the attrition, Fernando Rivera (No. 16 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F422) took over second, while Ayden Kohut (No. 18 The Builders Source / The Genie Company / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) moved into third.

Campbell, however, was on a mission to race back through the field and gain points to take the Vice Champion title. First passing series newcomer Jeremiah Thomas (No. 46 Team Roberts Ligier JS F422), Campbell then made his way around teammate Kohut to move into third.

Leading from flag to flag in the all-green race, Huerta was the first to cross the finish line, followed by Rivera in second and Campbell in third.

“Yesterday was really a fight, which makes it more entertaining, but today was more of like a calm race. I managed to keep the car in first the whole race,” said Huerta Raab after climbing from the car. “I’m proud of it because it’s a challenge for me, being consistent. It seems I make a better effort when I’m racing more, but that was pretty good. I’m very happy. Thank you to everyone who supports me—my family, my dad, my friends and my Kiwi Motorsport team. Thank you.”
