Summary

Austin Hill started on pole. Grant Enfinger took the lead from him on lap 13, holding it for the majority of the stage. On the final lap of Stage 1, Brandon Jones inched past Enfinger and took the stage win. Enfinger retook the lead afterwards, but managed to win Stage 2 himself after holding off a charging Jones. As the final stage began, Enfinger's run worsened as he got caught in a four-wide pack and fell to the back of the top 10. He was then pushed into the wall when Spencer Davis got loose underneath him, triggering a wreck that also collected Austin Wayne Self. Issues on pit road caused Enfinger to confront Hill after the race. Brett Moffitt took the lead with 75 laps to go, and remained the fastest driver of the night. He briefly lost the lead during a series of green-flag pit stops. Moffitt's lead over runner-up Jones grew to around two seconds, with Moffitt eventually earning his second win of the season.
