Keegan Leahy took the lead early in the race before a caution flag came out. However, he lost his lead shortly and was only able to cling back the top spot after fighting strong competitions from other drivers. Chris Shearburn finished second after giving a thought fight to Keegan.
After taking the win, he said in an interview, “I just had crazy battles throughout the whole race. Chris Shearburn, who I knew was going to be my main competition from lap one. I knew he had a real strong car, we worked together on the setup this week. He did a great job, specifically him, putting this thing together for race trim.”
