Polesitter Matthew Turner took the lead at the outset and was out front through four cautions in the first nine laps. On the lap-nine restart, Morrow got moving up on the high side and swept into the lead exiting turn four. Ronnie Johnson quickly moved up to second and had his sites on Morrow. But during a lap-22 caution period for debris on the track, Johnson pulled pitside with a flat tire. Morrow ran unchallenged the rest of the way.
