Starting on the pole, Lucas Finnegan found his way to the lead very quickly and looked to cruise away from the field. He wasn’t able to get far, though, as Keegan Moat and Cole Kamrath hung with him throughout. The trio would weave through lap traffic, with each looking to advance their position, but unable to do so.
Lucas Cousineau and Carson Cousineau rounded out the top-five ahead of Landon Sellers, Josh Davenport, Ethan Malin, Wyatt Sprung, and Lyla Sikma.
Kaiden Beatty was 11th, while Cole Cousineau came back from a heavy impact with the turn two wall after getting loose for 12th. Morgan Moore was 13th in front of Avery Fitzpatrick, Gracelynn Macinnes, Miya Ford, and Lakelyn Junkin.
Chase Cousineau fell out of the event with mechanical issues on Lap 5, while Chase Stevenson did not finish after making significant contact with the turn two wall on Lap 4.
