Pierce began to pull away building a lead of over two seconds by the end of lap 6 while Winger got by Doar for second. Brent Larson slowed on lap 9 to bring out a caution.
On the restart, Madden got by Shirley for fourth while Pierce continued to lead Winger and Doar. Madden would ultimately take third from Doar but a lap 17 caution again slowed the pace.
On the restart, Madden moved into second. Gustin and Doar fought for fourth at the same time. Madden kept pace with Pierce as the feature moved to the halfway mark. At the same time, Thornton began to make his presence known by breaking into the top-5.
On lap 30, it was Thornton who took fourth away from Gustin as Pierce led by just over a second from Madden and Winger. Thornton continued to march forward on lap 37 when he moved around Winger for third as Pierce began to extend his lead over Madden.
Weiss took over fifth from Gustin with 8 laps remaining in the show.
