Richards, who started ninth, steadily worked through the field, grabbing the lead with seven laps remaining and never looking back. His win marked six in a row at Eagle, 27 overall for the season, and 19th in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region.

Trenton Dowty led the early portion of the race before relinquishing the top spot to Brad Schreiner. Richards moved into second just past halfway and powered to the lead on lap 10. A strong final lap charge allowed Dowty to slip past Schreiner at the line, securing second. Schreiner completed the podium in third.
