Dillon Bassett earned the runner-up position in the No. 44 Bassett Gutters Ford, his second top five finish in the last three races. Dalton Sargeant drove the No. 51 GALT Chevrolet to a third place finish. Scott Heckert and Dawsonville, GA’s Spencer Davis rounded out the top five.

Points leader William Byron started the race from the pole position and led the early laps but had to settle for a sixth place finish. Trey Hutchens, Kaz Grala and Kyle Benjamin scored positions seven through nine.

K&N West points leader Noah Gragson, making his second start in the K&N East, started in the 32nd position after qualifying was cancelled and made his way through the field to earn the 10th position.

Patrick Staropoli, making his first start of the season for Bill McAnally Racing in the No. 99 AutoNation Toyota, spun on lap 17 after contact with another car sent him into the outside wall.
