Five-wide madness was the initial start, seeing the middle of the pack bunch up while the front and rear scatter. All of the contenders flew through the madness unharmed.

Miller led the first 12 laps before Tim McDonnell earned his status as top-dog of the race. McDonnell came in 85 back in the standings, hoping the bonus points will fulfill his hopes of winning his third straight Championship.

Several contenders look to steal the show away, as Scott Jackson started to fly his way through the field. Craig Lee made an attempt to pass McDonnell on the inside but to no avail, as Randy Dobbins, Alex Crapser and Rick Jackson lurked behind with possibly faster racecars.

Scott Jackson earned his bonus points late in the first run after passing McDonnell. He pulled away from the field, earning a multi-second advantage before the first round of green flag stops.

The first caution came out after a David Butterworth spin in turn-4. His car obliterated while shifting gears exiting the pit lane, and got tagged by another car. Randy Dobbins also blew up during the event while well inside the top-10.

Rick Jackson pulled off a three-wide move on the restart to rummage through the field and catch his cousin up front. The #44 and #38 looked to be the two fastest cars in the field.

Rick would complete the pass on Scott before the halfway point and didn't look back. He would pull away to lead 174 laps on the day, giving R2W half of the laps at Phoenix this season.

Despite a dominant performance in the spring event, Ken Pettit struggled all day long. He went a lap down to Rick before the final pit stop and never gained it back. He would lose the points lead to Scott, falling 8 points behind after a 23rd place finish.

Ryan Heuser had dominated his way to second place, making two passes over Dave Miller and Johnny Reed Foley. He was well-ahead in the points as things stood, and in excellent position to win the Championship heading into Homestead. With two laps to go, he ran out of gas, lost a lap, and fell to 27th position at the finish line. Heuser is now 42 points behind.

Rick Jackson made it look easy again, winning his second race in three events. His team has stepped up very late in the season, showing impressive signs of life coming into 2022 at a racetrack he has not always had success at. Congrats to Rick, crew chief Falco Lombardi, and the entire Race-2-Win team for an excellent victory!
