Feature Re-cap: at the start of the 30-lap feature it was Neely, Chase King, Arrington, Ryan King and Bare taking the top-5 positions. Ryan King passed by Arrington to grab third on the second circuit. Emory also moved forward taking the fifth spot.
Neely began to slip away from the pack by lap 5 as Bare returned to the top-5 by passing Emory. Chase King began to close on Neely as the race leader began to encounter slower traffic on lap 10. Soon after, Ryan King, Arrington and Bare joined the fight for the lead.
Bare began to assert himself at the midpoint of the event when he took advantage of slower traffic to pass by Ryan King for third then Chase King for fourth.
On lap 16, Bare moved around Neely to assume the race lead. A caution flag was shown to the field on lap 19 when the top-5 running car of Chase King slowed.
On the lap 19 restart, Bare not only held the held but drove away from his pursuers. Ryan King took second as Neely began to fade.
Over the closing laps, Arrington would rise to a podium spot but Bare went unchallenged as the checkered flag was eventually unfurled over his car.
