Rolling the outside lane through turns one and two, A.J. Emms cleared T.J Edwards off the corner to take over the lead. He then paced the final half of the event en route to visiting Queenston Chevrolet Buick GMC victory lane.

Jason Keen ran up front early, but faded back and went around on the last lap en route to seventh. Alvin McNicol was eighth in his first start of the season, with Wally Wilson in ninth after battling electrical issues. Dave Mathers rounded out the field.
