Feature Re-cap: The start of the 35-lap feature saw Marks take the early lead ahead of Trout, Gravel, Macri, and Sweet. Macri took third from Gravel just before a lap 2 caution flag was displayed for the spinning car of Myers.
On the lap 2 restart, Haudenschild suffered damage after contact caused by cars in front of him jamming together. After a single-file restart, the running remained unchanged after the race returned to green flag conditions.
By Lap 5, Marks began to slip away as the battles were fierce behind the front runner. Gravel and Macri engaged in a fight for third as Gravel took the spot. Meanwhile, those two drivers closed in on second-running Trout.
Macri returned to third on lap 11 when he passed Gravel. Two laps later, Macri took second from Trout. Just behind, Gravel, Trout and Sweet mixed it up for the remaining positions in the top-5. At the halfway point, Danny Dietrich joined that battle for a top-5 position.
At the front of the field, Marks was cutting through slower traffic while maintaining a relatively comfortable advantage over the battle between Macri and Gravel.
Macri began to close on Marks as the laps clicked away. Just as the fight for the lead was about to intensify, a lap 29 yellow flag was shown when Stutts slowed.
Marks got a good restart on lap 29 and held the lead over Macri and Gravel. Macri tracked Marks down and made a move to the high side of the track through turns three and four on the final lap to steal the victory.
