McCarron applied steady pressure to Pitts, even getting a look on the bottom for the lead, but Pitts was able to maintain the top position. Then as McCarron faded Brad Lamberson, also looking for his first career SOD victory, started applying pressure over the final five laps to Pitts. Pitts was up for the challenge though taking the victory over Lamberson, Chase Ridenour, McCarron, and Andy Teunessen.
