DeLonjay then held off all challengers to take his third feature event of the year. Michael Long suffered mechanical problems on the first lap and dropped out from the event giving DeLonjay the opportunity to close the points battle to a single point, 477 to 476. Following DeLonjay to the checkered flag were Robbie Reed in second, Wyatt Lance in third, Tony Dunker in fourth and Brandon Lennox in fifth.
