As the sun began to set and the field marched on a competition caution was enacted at the races halfway mark. Brad had led every lap up to this point. Tom Jones in the 46 was on the move through the field and after his lap 1 spin to last, Douglas in the Trade Authority 21 was up to 3rd. What followed was probably one of the most entertaining restarts we've had to date.

The action kicked off right away with Deluso (99) using the outside to try and take an early lead on the race over impromptu pole sitter Hughes (7). On lap 2, Deluso's truck lost the rear end and spun to the inside wall bringing out the only caution in the first half of the race. It would be a 50 lap struggle of tire and space management for the 10 truck field. Lap 25 saw a competition caution fly for the 2nd of 3 total yellows.
The battle for second between Deluso and Jones on the final lap was an intense one, coming out of turn 4 Deluso went full throttle trying to take the edge on corner exit. The rear end tapped the wall and got loose, the 46 also struggling with handling getting sideways trying to hang on as the 99 crosses the line side by side. The 46 spun and went head on into the front stretch wall finishing 3rd. The two shook hands afterwards commending each other on the fun battle.
