Feature Re-cap: The 40-lap feature began with Larson leading McFadden, Scelzi, Haudenschild and Stewart. On the second lap, Haudenschild passed Scelzi for third just before a spin by Jacobs brought out a caution.
Haudenschild jumped to second on the restart with Scelzi also getting by McFadden. One lap later, Macedo also moved around McFadden for fourth a second caution flag waved for a multi-car mishap.
McFadden moved back to fourth on the restart. However, lap 7 featured passes by Macedo and Gravel on McFadden to claim fourth and fifth. All the while, Larson continued to lead over Haudenschild and Scelzi.
Larson began to encounter slower traffic on lap 11which allowed Haudenschild to close but a spin by Spithaler in lap 12 brought out another yellow flag. Courtney and Gravel engaged in a fight for fifth just after green flag action resumed.
Macedo took third on lap 24 behind Larson and Haudenschild. While Larson continued to lead, Haudenschild kept the race close. With 10 laps remaining, Schatz emerged as a contender when he broke into the top-5. But a lap 30 caution for Courtney again slowed the pace and bunched the front runners.
At the time of caution, Larson led Haudenschild, Macedo, Gravel and Schatz.
Schatz moved to fourth just after the restart as Larson pulled away from the pack.
