Feature Re-cap: The 25-lap main event got underway with McFadden leading Scelzi, Macedo, Schuchart and Zearfoss. On the second circuit Kofoid burst into the fourth position passing by both Schuchart and Zearfoss. However, a lap 4 caution for the slowing car of Eliason.
On the restart, an incident involving Gravel, Madsen, Bayston and Wheatley brought out a red flag.
McFadden maintained his lead on the restart as Scelzi and Macedo battled for second. Scelzi broke away from the fight and closed in on the leader by lap 10 as the front runners began to encounter slower traffic. With 10 laps remaining, Macedo and Kofoid also closed in as Sweet moved into the top-5.
Schuchart slowed to bring out a caution on lap 16. On the restart, Haudenschild and Bogucki got together sending Haudenschild into a rollover crash to bring out a red flag. Randall was also involved in the incident’s aftermath.
Once again, McFadden held on to the lead with Scelzi and Macedo following. The No. 83 began to slip away as Scelzi and Macedo once more fought for the runner-up position.
In the end, it was McFadden who would claim the victory for the second consecutive night.
