Getting the jump on Jason Johnson from the pole, Brady Bacon pulled the Oil Field Equipment No. 99 to the race lead with Johnson in tow. Burning tires from the onset, the pair quickly distanced themselves with Bacon working into slower traffic.
Giving Johnson the opportunity for the pass, the narrow groove would allow Bacon to the advantage. At speed between a pair of slower cars, neither driver could gain an advantage until a bobble on the part of Brady Bacon sent the XXX Race Co. No. 99 out of the groove entering turn three, allowing Johnson to take the top spot on lap twenty-three.
Slowing for a caution with seven to go that saw Logan Forler on the hook, the race resumed with Johnson leading three laps before his Right-Rear tire gave out. Brady Bacon reassumed the lead for a single lap before suffering a similar fate and in doing so handed the race lead to Wayne Johnson.
With tire to spare, Johnson paced the field to a $10,000 victory ahead of the FVP No. 21 of Brian Brown. Making good use of the highline following the final restart, Tony Bruce Jr. ran to third with Kyle Hirst and twelfth starting Johnny Herrera making up the top five.
Christopher Bell crossed sixth with Danny Lasoski climbing from sixteenth to seventh. Jeff Swindell was eighth, Jayme Barnes ninth, and Gary Wright tenth after starting twentieth in his final Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV A-Feature.
Non-Qualifier races belonged to Jack Dover, Travis Rilat, and Lucas Wolfe while B-Main wins went to Justin Henderson and Joshua Hodges.
