Mahlik won after the leader spun out on the white flag lap.
Kyle Kudick used the top of the track to fend off the competition early. Mahlik grabbed the lead only to see the caution make it a no-go. When racing resumed and after a couple more cautions, Mahlik and Troy Jerovetz split Kudick for the lead.
Mahlik used the top of the track to lead at the line with Jerovetz charging in second. Jerovetz fell back for a few laps until his momentum came back and he took the lead with three laps remaining. Jerovetz lead with Mahlik outside as he took the white flag.
