Davis fell out of the fourth spot when he stalled coming off the fourth turn on lap six. Adams led Josh Scealf, Sharp, Ketron, and Walton down for the restart.

Presley passed Walton for the fifth spot on the restart, while Josh Scealf and Sharp battled side-by-side for the second spot by lap eight. That battle ended on lap 14 when Josh Scealf and Ketron, running second and fourth respectively, both slowed with flat tires to bring out the caution flag.

Scealf went past the Work Zone and was out of the race, while Ketron hit the zone to change his tire and return to the race. Adams now had Sharp on his back bumper for the restart, but that was short-lived as Sharp slowed on lap 15 to bring out the caution flag and was out of the race. The top five for the restart was Adams, Presley, Joe Scealf, Walton and Jones.

When the green flag came back out, Jones drove past Walton for the fourth spot and Jolley got by Walton for the fifth spot on lap 17. There was one caution flag in the second half of the race, and that came on lap 23 when Andy Pilkey hit the wall on the front straightaway wall. Pilkey was able to continue in the race

Adams gave up a two second lead on Presley when the yellow flag came down with seven laps to go, but he had no problem pulling away on the restart. A three-wide battle for third broke out on the restart, but Joe Scealf held the position and Ketron powered by Jones for the fourth spot.
