Problems came early; a caution on lap 2 for a wreck between the No. 20 of Johanna Long, the No. 23 of Jason White and the No. 39 of Ryan Sieg. All drivers had damage but were able to continue racing.
A caution flew at lap 41 for a brief rain shower but the jet dryers came to the rescue and racing resumed 17 laps later.
Problems came for the current points leader Johnny Sauter after he cut down a front tire. He pitted, the pit crew changed tires but then broke a sway bar and was showering sparks as he tried to remain on track. Crew chief Joe Shear Jr. was advising Sauter to remain on track due to rain in the area. The rain never came, but Sauter held out and managed a 23rd place finish. Sauter maintains the points lead by a slim points.
In the end, the race came down to a great and often nail-biting battle between James Buescher, Timothy Peters and Austin Dillon. Dillon and Buescher were dominant throughout the race but Peters snuck in at the end, when it counted.
