Race[]

Summary[]

Christian Eckes began on pole. Greg Rayl crashed into the wall in lap 3, ending his day and causing the first caution. Grant Enfinger won the Stage 1. As the stage ended, Ross Chastain and Matt Crafton battled for position, resulting in Crafton making contact with Chastain after the flag flew to end the stage.

Stage 2 was also won by Enfinger, who led the entire stage to score his third stage win of the season. He held off Myatt Snider, who was driving in place of the suspended Johnny Sauter. On lap 78, Natalie Decker crashed into the wall hard, ending her day and resulting in her fifth DNF of the year.

Harrison Burton and Sheldon Creed made contact with 15 laps remaining. Burton slid the rear end of his truck into the wall, receiving significant damage. He continued racing, though barely managing to stay on the lead lap.

The final restart took place with seven laps to go. On the restart, Chastain (who did not get tires during the lengthy caution) spun his tires, but received a helpful push from Todd Gilliland. Chastain cleared Eckes, and fended him off even though Eckes had fresher tires.

On the final lap, Eckes was passed by Gilliland and spun by Stewart Friesen. The caution was not thrown, causing Eckes to lose many positions. Chastain managed to hold off Gilliland to win the race. His truck passed inspection, redeeming himself from his stripped win in the previous week's race.[8][9][10]
