Flying Canadian Racing took its first STC win in only their thrid try as the Blue Cup headed to Daytona for its third round. But at the beginning of the race it looked as though FlatOut with their two squads would walk it. Mike Simian started from pole and took off and dominated the race the first 30 minutes. His teammate Risto Kappet held 2nd for a long time untill he got cought be FOC driver Ben Tusting who had a great first stint coming from 10th on the grid. He passed Kappet in a daring move to get up to 2nd. These three then was the first to visit the pits as they went for a two stopper. This turned out as a bad strategy call as the rest of the leaders went for one stop.

Instead it was the battle for 4th that all of a sudden became the battle for the lead and from there on to the finish it was never a relaxing moment for the drivers involved. RPM driver Peter Duivelaar and FCR's Jesper Taulborg fought it out with Martijn van Bommel (FDR) and Robin Johansson (Gubbklubben). Johansson, however, lost some ground and later went off and brushed the wall in turn 1. He eventually finished 8th. van Bommel also had trouble to keep up with the two infront but held a steady gap of a few seconds.

Taulborg was on the tale of the dutchman pretty much the entire race and desperatly tryed to make a pass stick but Duivelaar defended well. On the last lap Taulborg then tryed an over optimistic move into turn 6. He took the lead briefly but drifted wide and Duivelaar took it back once again. But out of the next corner the FCR driver got a good exit and a good slipstream and put him self on the inside going into the chicane. Duivelaar stayed on the outside and contact was made, sending the RPM driver over the grass and over the anti-cut kerbs going out on the last streatch. This gave van Bommel, who came from nowhere on the last lap, a great chance to overtake his countryman and the dragrace to the line was on. Taulborg could take a deep breath and cross the line as winner and after going side by side Duivellar kept his 2nd place by the small margin of .008 seconds ahead of van Bommel in one of STC closest races to date.

Mike Simian was on a charge after his two stops but when he cought RPM's Marcin Skrzypczak for 4th they tangled and Simian hit the wall and lost his rear wing. He would finish down in 13th, just infront of Tusting. Skrzypczak held his 4th to the line followed by The Black Rebels Gregory Degreef who had to fend off Gubbklubbens Göran Johansson. Kappet made his way up to 7th in the end. Dan Asbury for Torrent Motorsports finished 9th and Corse Online racer Nicola Dorigatti got passed WBR's Steve Bean in the closing stages to take 10th.
