Cobb continued to add to his advantage and enjoyed a lead of more than five seconds at the halfway point of the moto. However, Smart was patient and made a push over the final stretch of the moto. He took significant chunks out of Cobb's lead and closed to just over a second on the final lap. It was too little too late as Cobb held on for victory by a margin of 1.9 seconds. Geis followed in third, while Smith clinched the championship with a fourth-place effort. B's Moto Lab KTM's Raycin Kyler saved her best for last with a fifth in her final moto.
