Zakk Miller was the cause of major catastrophe on lap 1, after contact with Ryan on the start saw him go for a spin in turn 1. On the restart, he and Johnny Reed Foley made contact, slamming Zakk into the inside wall with severe force. The damage was devastating enough for him to come in and fix the damage. Coming out of the pits, he made contact with Mike Carroll, ending his 12-lap reign of horrifying luck. He wound up passing one car down the stretch, finishing 41st on the day.

Rick Jackson took the lead early, with Jonathan Scrabacz and Donald Stewart in tow. Pole-sitter Adam fell off fast and quickly skidded outside of the top-10, while chase contenders Ken Pettit, Alex Crapser and Zach Michael rolled towards the front.

Craig Lee was easily the fastest car on the racetrack, rolling from 11th to first to take the lead. Matthew Dominique was looking to steal the show from behind, eventually leading 26 laps on the day. Craig led 31.

Dominique and Jonathan Scrabacz swapped the lead while Tony Pizzaro and Philip Parker lurked from behind. Adam Crapser found his way back to the front as well, passing Zach Michael who dominated the day. Michael led 112 laps in total.

Jimmie Stevens got in on the action, looking to win a race at Bristol for the second season in a row. His redemption for not making the chase payed off in spades, leading 81 laps and recording a top-10 finish on the night.

During green flag pit stops, Matthew Dominique and Ben Geer made contact, sending themselves into a frenzy from hell entering turn 3. The two went for a minor spin, though the yellow flag only put 8 cars on the lead lap.

After the final restart, Bill Werkheiser and Scott Jackson were the main contenders for the victory. The W.A.S.P. Motorsports teammates look to battle it out hard at a non-speedway racetrack, a complete rarity in the past half-decade. There was still over 100 laps to go.

Alex Crapser came into the mix after several side-by-side battles slowed the teammates down. The three swapped the lead several times, with Bill leading the most laps between lap 400 to 449.

On lap 450, Scott Jackson took the lead away and never looked back. He navigated through lapped traffic perfectly, and put himself in perfect position to win with a full second advantage with less than 5 laps to go.

Crapser was able to pass Werkheiser for the second position, but it was Scott Jackson to his fourth victory of his well acclaimed comeback season at the checkered Congrats to Scott, crew chief Linwood Smalls and the entire W.A.S.P. Motorsports team for another excellent victory!
