As the race continued, Ayers completed the pass around Swarthout who began to fade in the late stages of the race. By lap 20 Josh Keesey came up to join the mix in the top 3 as he passed Swarthout for the position. In the closing laps Pavlick held off the challenges of Ayers en route to the win. Ayers finished second, Keesey finished third, Brady Fultz came up to finish fourth, while Chris Fisher completed the top 5.
