Harrison Burton maintained his starting position of third throughout the race. Grant Enfinger and Stewart Friesen, who started 12th and fourth respectively, rounded out the top five.

The race also featured a wild finish for drivers like Chase Purdy and Todd Gilliland, who had fluctuating positions but ended 13th and 17th, respectively.
Cautions had a significant impact on the race, particularly towards the end. John Hunter Nemechek, who started seventh, spun out on lap 129, causing a caution that eventually led to his 29th place finish due to suspension issues. The late caution on lap 144 following Riley Herbst's spin affected multiple drivers' average running positions and finish outcomes. Despite these incidents, the race concluded with no DVP interventions. This statistical bonanza showcases the impact of green flag performance and the effects of race management.
