This Route 24 Run Asphalt Point-to-Point race is worth 120 Points for the next Wristband and $7K to the winner (not including bonuses).
Restrictions for this race are Class-C cars or below, manufactured in the United States.
This is a very long track on hard surfaces so getting to the front of the pack is easy because you have lots of time and opportunity.
Around a third of the way through there is a series of turns that will cause the other drivers to slow down if you cannot get to the front before then, which gives you a great opportunity to do it there.
You should be very close to your next Wristband at this point -- and you will be offered a new rival race as usual. If you have not been running the Rival Races you should seriously consider doing them -- at least until you unlock the Achievement for beating 10 of your Friend List Rivals anyway...
