On the restart, Miller would get back by Roepke for the lead. On lap 19, No. 66 Chase Dunham would get into the turn 4 wall and get upside down. Dunham walked away under his own power. THat would set up the final restart with Miller able to get away for good over a hard charging Ivy who finished 2nd, Roepke finished 3rd with No. 21 Dustin Stroup and No. 29 Bryan Sebetto completing the top 5. Heat races were won by Ivy, Sebetto and No. 4* Tyler Street

Post would pick up his first career Limaland feature win over No. 95J Jerry Bowersock, Sutter, No. 65 Todd Sherman, and Keeler. Heat Races were won by Woodling, Norris, and Post.
