Second place running Bubba Altig slowed on the third lap, bringing out the caution. Fiscus paced two more laps before Loyet took the lead, one lap later Fiscus spun running in second position.

Hatton regained the second position and closed slightly on Loyet, when the event's fifth caution appeared, with two laps remaining. Hatton challenged Loyet on the restart, with Hess making a great pass for the runner-up position on the final lap.
