Sheltra finished fourth in the Performance Vehicle Works Dodge in front of Ken Schrader, who steered his own Federated Auto Parts Chevrolet to the final stripe in fifth.

AJ Fike earned the Menards Pole presented by Ansell and led the first 16 laps before Kelly Kovski took control on lap 17. Kovski, who serves as Car Chief for ARCA driver Robb Brent when he's not driving, led 14 laps before relinquishing the lead to Schrader when Kovski came to pit road for service. Schrader, who had pitted earlier, led six laps before Hessert took his turn up front.

Will Kimmel finished a career-best sixth in the Messina Wildlife-Menards Ford with Craig Goess trailing in seventh in the Greenville Toyota of N.C. Toyota. Goess's finish places him third in championship points, just five points away from leaders' Hessert and Sheltra.

Chad McCumbee finished eighth in ModSpace-Red Cross Disaster Relief Ford with Kovski trailing in ninth in the Central Illinois Security-Hoosier Tire Midwest Chevrolet. Bryan Silas finished 10th in the Rockingham Speedway-PBG Ford.
