Right off the green, the pole-sitter number 89 driven by Justin Yarmer, Russell, jumps ahead and is almost a quarter track ahead of the 300, driven by Shaun Woods, Dorrance and the 57S, driven by Ryan Strate, Kinsley while they battle for second. The 300 would not hold long and quickly began losing track position and was lapped by the 89 halfway through the event. The 89 would continue to gain position and with one to go was only two car lengths behind the 57S and would go on to the win.
