On third and fourth place finished Nico Jamin (Andretti Autosport) and Neil Alberico (Carlin) who both overtook the rookie Aaron Telitz (Belardi Auto Racing), who finally finished fifth.

Nicolas Dapero (Juncos Racing) today showed that he is improving every race thanks to his consistency. Dapero today overtook Matheus Leist (Carlin) for the sixth position and Dalton Kellet (Andretti Autosport), while the Carlin driver finished seventh.

Kellet would drop until a final 10th after been pass by Shelby Blackstock (Belardi Auto Racing) and team mate, Ryan Norman.
