Roberts grabbed the lead on the first lap of the race with Earl Young nailed to his rear bumper. The two ran nose to tail the first five laps of the race before Young dropped back to a two car length deficit.

Matt Meyer held the second position the first half of the race and pressed Ragsdale the first five laps before he dropped off the pace.
