Terry Poore in the 6th spot with Jason Ritchey behind him, with Dylan Lowe, Adam Beeler, Jason Varner, Cory Hedgecock, and Wes Tilley rounding the field out. Now a few cars go around in turn 4, caution flies. Looks like Tilley gets the most of the damage, Beeler and Hedgecock also involved.
Green flag in the air. 4 laps in the books! Crabtree powers away once again with Sise in tow, Moore in 3rd and King in 4th. Now King looks inside on Moore, falls in line off 4. Crabtree starting to pull away with the lead here as King still looking inside Moore for 3rd, falls back in line once again. Now caution flies as Lowe spins in turn 4 here with 8 laps in the books.
Green flag back in the air, now 9 laps complete, King still working on the inside of Moore, finally clears him off 2.

Now Hedgecock goes around in turn 2, gets it going again and we’ll stay green. Crabtree now making his way around Lowe who has returned, now Crabtree pulls inside Hedgecock and now Lowe goes around in turn 2 and caution will fly here on lap 16.

Watson the leader on lap 1, Lewelling in 2nd, Daniel Lawson in 3rd, Junior Merriman in 4th with Chris Nix in 5th. Alex Squires running in the 6th spot with Tim England in 7th.

Green flag in the air, 14 laps in the books, 6 laps remain. Watson, Lewelling, Lawson your top 3. Lewelling looks outside for just a moment in turn 1, can’t make anything happen, so he’ll fall back in line and hope for a mistake.

Freddy Hillard and Cory Cate door to door for 2, Hillard takes sole possession off 2. Cate in 3rd, Rocky Ogle in 4th, Robert Martin in 5th, Tom Huston and Barry Duncan round out the field. Now Cate looks outside off turn 2, 5 laps in the books, he gets sideways, makes right-rear contact with Hillard, Hillard spins around, Ogle with nowhere to go, t-bones Cate in turn 4, everyone seems to be ok, but heavy damage is visible. Looks like Hillard’s night will be done.

Looks like Ogle’s rear end is shifted to the left, we’ll line him up in 2nd since caution was out for debris, and we’ll go green.
Green flag in the air, Ogle has his hood flapping again, gets a better entry into turn 1 this time. Comer your leader, Ogle in 2nd, Martin in 3rd, Huston in 4th and Duncan in 5th. Now Ogle gets loose on entry into turn 3, allows Martin to pull inside and they’ll race side by side. Now Martin takes sole possession of 2nd as Ogle has his hands full, but Comer is about a half straightaway ahead. Now Ogle spins around in turn 1, and caution flies here on lap 15. Ogle catches a break as the caution was out for debris just as he began spinning. Time is up, so we’ll do a green/white/checker.
Green flag in the air one more time. Comer, Martin, Ogle your top 3. Comer picks up where he left off, as he drives away to claim the win! 2nd goes to Martin, and somehow, Ogle comes home in 3rd!

McMahan your leader now, B. Frost in 2nd, L. Frost in 3rd. Now we see Dinkins make his way around L. Frost and sets his sights on B. Frost. And set his sights he sure does, he runs over B. Frost once again, looks like B. Frost has had enough of the banging, and he’ll pull into the infield. Possibly all the beating knocked a plug wire loose. McMahan your leader, B. Frost in 2nd, Dinkins in 3rd. Checkers in the air, McMahan your winner, Dinkins comes home 2nd, L. Frost comes home 3rd.
