A main (started): 1. Brown (6) 2. Swenson (3) 3. Bruce (15) 4. Peters (17) 5. Mitrisin (16) 6. Zomer (18) 7. Grosz (13) 8. Taylor (7) 9. Jobe (11) 10. Lindquist (1) 11. Lowery (8) 12. Jacobsma (12) 13. Chadd (5) 14. King (2) 15. Chapman (4) 16. CJ Johnson (14) 17. Divis (9) 18. Linnell (10) 19. Selenke (19) 20. Pinegar (20)
Attempts to get the 25 lapper started were futile, due to spins by Selenke and CJ Johnson. Lindquist jumped out to a lead from his pole starting spot before Jacobsma spun on lap three and Pinegar suffered rear end problems ending his night. The restart saw Lindquist leading Swenson, King, Brown and Chapman back to green flag racing. Brown got by King and then Swenson, while Lindquist built a nice lead in traffic. On lap ten, Taylor and Divis collided, sending Divis upside down and pitside. Now Lindquist led Brown, Swenson, Chadd and King. Two more laps were complete before CJ Johnson came to a stop and exited. Lindquist continued to pull away before a lap 16 caution for a spun Chapman. Brown made his winning move on lap 20 with a slider in turn two on the banked 3/8 mile oval. On lap 23, the final caution came out for King, who ran out of fuel while running fifth. Several cars stumbled short of fuel on the final two circuits, including Chadd, who surrendered a top five spot and Lindquist, ending his fine run. Charges from the back of the pack were led by Bruce, Peters, Mitrisin and Zomer, who all came out of the B mains.
