But it was 3rd place starter Todd Reed who grabbed the lead on lap 1 over VanZandt and Bradley. Reed's lead was only good for 1 lap, as Jeff DeLonjay, who started 5th, slipped under him to grab the lead away on lap 2. Just as DeLonjay started to put some distance on the 2nd place battle, the first of 10 cautions waved on lap 5. Bob Cowman would spin in turn 4 to bring out the yellow.

On the restart Nathan Anders spun in turn 4 to bring the yellow light back on. DeLonjay once again grabbed the lead on the restart, with Tony Dunker, who started 7th, close behind in 2nd. DeLonjay then got sideways coming off turn 4 on lap 8, which allowed Dunker to go by on the top to grab the top spot. Then after the completion of the lap the caution would appear for a tire in turn 1. Dunker moved back out front on the restart, with Reed, who spun on lap 5, moving back up to take 2nd away from Holtmeyer. But once again the action was slowed on lap 11, as VanZandt spun in turn 1 to bring out the caution. Once again Dunker jumped out front on the restart, with Reed and Holtmeyer battling for 2nd.

On the restart Hagerbraumer, who came back from his spin on lap 6, got into Reed in turn 4 and spun him to bring the yellow light back on. This would bring the end to the time limit, which meant the next yellow or the checkered flag would end the event. Dunker moved back out front on the restart, with Tanner Klingele, who started 6th, taking over the 2nd spot. Chandler Owens blasted into turn 1 on lap 18 and spun Hagerbraumer to bring out the final caution and the checkered flag to end the event.
