The FK Rod Ends Heat Race #1 was won by Johnny Scarbrough , the O'Reilly Auto Parts Heat Race #2 was won by rookie Kadyn Berry, and the High Performance Lubricants Heat Race #3 was won by Chris Donnelly. With a huge crowd on hand and many seeing the series for the first time, the was a buzz in the air about the 30 lap feature and what they would see. After the invert the field was set with Jordan Fornwalt and Luke Greenwood making up the front row. Fornwalt got the jump from the pole and would lead the field around the new 1/4 mile surface. On lap three Greenwood got into Chris Donnelly and caused a flat left rear tire on the 17. After pitting for a new tire Donnelly would come out and rejoin the race at the tail end. Fornwalt again leaped out front on the restart and would get a rather large lead on the field as the rest battled for position. It was the 23 of Travis Billington working his way up to second with his sights on Fornwalt. The red flag would come out when the 07 of Matt Hoyt got crossed up and went over in turn four. Hoyt was able to get out of the car and ok. On the final restart Fornwalt again would gain the lead and never look back as the 24 sat in Sunoco Victory Lane.
