Feature Re-cap: Gustin went to the lead early on in the 25-lap main event with Bronson, Sheppard, Johnny Scott and Troutman trialing. Series points leader Madden broke into the top-5 early on just before a caution flag waved for the slowing car of Stormy Scott.
When the racing action resumed, Gustin continued to lead with Sheppard fighting Bronson for the runner-up position. Madden continued to rise as he moved around Johnny Scott for fourth then Marlar followed suit as he took the fifth spot in the running order.
Bronson took second away from Sheppard at the halfway mark of the race then set off after Gustin. However, a lap 16 caution for Ferree bunched the field.
As the laps clicked away, Bronson closed in on Gustin for the lead of the race while Marlar and Madden wrestled for fourth with Pierce also joining that fray. Eventually, though, Gustin would get away from the battling Bronson and Sheppard to claim the win.
