Caleb Sellner holds off a hard charging Brain Szabelski to pick up his third overall win in a row. Both VW drivers didn't have luck on their side to start the race as a caution at the start caused a mix-up with timing and scoring. Odise Adams Jr. spun his MX-5 in the chicane coming to green and collected a handful of cars, including the VWs of Johnny Bell and Ben Schaut and the MX-5 of Harry Grindell. All cars sustained damage, but Schaut came out with the least of it. The ensuing yellow saw multiple penalties, but the nature of the long pace lap all but nullified them.

As the race went back to green, Ronnie Kotz took the overall lead while the two fastest qualifiers, Szabelski and Sellner, found themselves sitting eleventh and twelfth, respectively. Kotz pitted on lap ten and Sellner took over the lead and would lead the rest of the way. Szabelski had a harder time making his way through traffic and found himself more than 14 seconds behind Sellner. As the two took the white flag, the gap was down to 0.818 seconds. Szabelski got a great run as the two approached Pouhon, but he could not capitalize as they came upon lapped traffic. Sellner would go on to win by 0.393 seconds. Ben Schaut had a masteful recovery drive to finish third in-class and fourth overall.

Ronnie Kotz cruised to the MX-5 victory beating Simon Erpelding to the line by 40 seconds. It was Erpelding's best career MX-5 finish. Tom Athon was running as high as fourth overall but his race came off the rails as he and Brad Hill made contact in the chicane on lap five causing substantial damage to his machine. Later in the race, he and the VW of Johnny Bell got together at the chicane further prolonging both of their hardships. Nicholas Morelli would finish on the final step of the MX-5 podium by finishing seventh overall seven seconds behind Erpelding.

Kotz maintains his overall lead and massive 77 point lead in-class. With his third win in a row, Sellner moves into second overall and takes over the VW lead.

Jake Johannsen makes it two in a row with a win at Okayama. It was a dominant race for the VWs as they took seven of the top ten positions. In qualifying, Jetta's locked out the front two rows with all four separated by only 0.072 seconds. In fact, second through fourth were separated by a miniscule 0.006 seconds.

Johannsen was able to get the jump at the start as the front four VWs were able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Caleb Sellner settled in to second while Johnny Bell was able to pip Joe Marlin at the start. Things changed on lap five as the MX-5's of Harry Grindell and Robert Elder barely touched in the heavy braking zone of Hair Pin. The contact sent Elder sharply across the nose of Grindell and into the wall, essentially ending his night. The caution saw the front five cars, including MX-5 leader Ronnie Kotz, dive into the pits. Alexis Walker would stay out and take the lead as the race went back to green. The Canadian was able to pull a six-second gap as the leaders tried working their way through the field. At one point, second through eleventh were separated by just under five seconds. By lap 14, Sellner and Johannsen were able to get past Walker to resume their battle out front. Johannsen made an early stop on lap 18 and that proved to be the difference. Once the pitstop cycle played out, he was almost ten seconds clear of Sellner. Johannsen would go on to win by just over nine seconds. Johnny Bell, after a late race surge, finished another seven seconds back to claim third overall and third in class.

Ronnie Kotz picked up his second class win of the season by finishing fourth overall. His closest competitor during qualifying, DJ Alessandrini, was unable to make it to the grid. Kotz was on his own until the caution came out, but found himself in a three-way battle with Odise Adams Jr. and Tom Athon. Athon lost touch in a handful of laps after the race went back to green and Adams Jr. had an unforuante incident while pitting on lap 20. He caught the grass in the pit lane and careened off the right side barrier causing significant damage. From there, Kotz cruised. Tyler Burns, in his first A:SRC race since October 1, 2018, finished second in class. Brad Hill take his career best class finish to claim the final step on the MX-5 podium.

Johannsen maintains his overall and VW points lead over Kotz who stays atop the MX-5 standings. Burns vaults to second in MX-5 standings with his second place run.
