Bobby Unser led the field to the green flag for the third race in a row as for the second time in 1980 drivers raced at the Milwaukee Mile.

As no cautions would fly during the last hundred laps, Mears put on a great showing, battling with Bobby Unser for much of the last half of the event, and would go on to score his first win of 1980.
