Steve Young jumped out the early lead over Nate Horn until Decker Swinehart arrived in second place on lap 4.  For the next ten laps, Decker and Young battled side by side for the lead with Decker going both high and low in his attempts to get by Young for the lead.  The third and final yellow came out on lap 13 with Young still in the lead.  Young choose the bottom for the restart and gave Decker the top which he used to charge into the lead and separate from the field.  Decker drove into victory lane for his second Sportsman win of the season at Grandview.
