Feature Re-cap: When the green flag waved over the 25-lap feature it was Wilson who went to the early lead followed by Thornton, Dennis Erb Jr., Clanton and O’Neal. On lap 5 it was O’Neal who would move forward by passing Clanton for fourth. At the same time, Thornton moved to the inside groove to challenge Wilson for the race lead.
Throughout the race, Clanton, O’Neal and Sheppard battle for positions 4 through 6 with O’Neal eventually coming out on top.
Once he held back the attempt by Thornton to take the lead, Wilson would go on to lead the rest of the way ultimately claiming the feature victory.
