Portland proved to be just as tricky as track as ever for the XTCC drivers with mixed weather practice conditions that eventually gave way to dry track for the races 7 and 8. This made no difference to Spike nor Daniel who despite a couple of offs, found themselves trading fast laps until Spike won Race 7. This event left the top three in the points standings separated by just 3 points prior to race 8.
Race 8 looked different right off that bat with Tim leading the most laps and looking good for the victory until he also had an off that allowed Daniel and Spike to drive by, Daniel taking the win.
