Speed qualified 21st, but as he usually does, he quickly moved up through the field toward the front once the race went green. After the 3 early caution periods, he found himself in 2nd place, where he pressured Stenzo hard for the lead over several laps, before finally making the pass to lead a lap. It was the only lap he would lead all day, as Stenzo quickly reclaimed the top spot the next time around. Later on, Bob worked his way up to challenge Speed for 2nd place shortly before the final yellow came out. Because Stenzo pitted, the two found themselves 1-2 on the field, but Speed's patience and tire management allowed him to make it back past Bob late in the event to grab 2nd place, where he would eventually finish. This marks Speed's 19th top 5 and 21st top 10 of the year, clearly demonstrating why he leads the points race by such a commanding margin.
Coyote started from the 22nd position, and patiently motored his way through the field. But after getting collected in a wreck midway through the race, he was never a serious threat for the win. Because he took advantage of the last caution period to pit for tires, he was able to work his way back up to 4th, where he mounted a late-race challenge on third-place Bob in a last-minute sprint to the checkers. This marks Coyote's 10th top 5 and 14th top 10 of the season, and he maintains his 3rd place points standings with a 114 point advantage over Bob.
Bob started in 3rd, and quickly darted out front and into the lead, where he promptly forced the rest of the field to eat his dust for a total of 47 laps, and extended his lead to over 5 seconds over Stenzo before turning the lead over when he pitted during the 2nd caution period. After restarting toward the back of the pack, he then spent the next 50 laps working his way back up toward the front and past Speed to take over 2nd place, then back into the lead when Stenzo pitted during the final caution. However, because he elected to stay out on worn tires, he was unable to fend off Stenzo and Speed during the closing laps, where he fell back to finish 3rd, despite a last-lap challenge by Coyote, who had closed up to his quarter panel at the stripe. This marks his 9th top 5 and 12th top 10 of the season.
