Keith Haring took the early lead; but then on the second restart at lap 4; disaster struck as Haring and Perry tangled in front of the field with Tom Miller Jr flipping and the field piling in to create red flag conditions.  On the restart, Parker Guldin took the lead until the 3rd and final restart on lap 8; when Brian Hirthler took command of the lead and checked out on the field for the final 17 green flag laps to take his second win of the season.    

Heat races were won by Tom Miller Jr, Nicholas Hamm, Steve, Dylan Swinehart and Logan Bauman.

Consolation races were won by Jesse Landis and Ryan Graver.
