The 134-lap race saw Ben Rhodes execute a stellar performance to take the win from a 19th-place start, finishing with an ARP of 7.95 and a net gain rating of 2.59. His jumps in position in the final laps indicate skill in capitalizing on the field's shake-ups, particularly in the race's bonanza of incidents and lead changes. Rhodes led the final 25 laps, unchallenged after a late-race caution reset the field.
Corey Heim, a notable performer, began in 3rd place and ended 2nd with an ARP of 1.87, marking a strong consistent race. Heim led for the largest segment, dominating early before falling behind Rhodes. Carson Hocevar, finishing 4th after starting 12th, displayed strong mid-race speed and maintained a lead over 50 laps, before fade in the latter part of the race due to a higher GR-LR indicating his inability to hold position under pressure.
Grant Enfinger and Ty Majeski had wild outcomes affected by multiple cautions. Enfinger, despite a mid-field ARP of 12.22, managed a top-five finish from an 11th start, while Majeski slipped from 2nd to 7th with an ARP of 9.51. The race also saw incidents involving several drivers. Notably, Tanner Gray fell drastically from pole to 27th place, reflecting potential problems post-spin-outs or accidents, while Armani Williams ended his race in 35th after an accident involving pit road. The race was a complete bonanza with strategic plays reshuffling the leaderboard multiple times.
