John Wes Townley crossed the checkered flag followed by Kyle Larson, Ricky Ehhrgot, Frank Kimmel and Sean Corr.

Mixed showing for the two Frenchmen present as Julien Jousse was forced in the pits after his engine overheated on Lap 9 while running fourth behind Bobby Gerhart.

Michel Disdier on the other hand finished 11th for Cunningham Motorsports as he succeeded in staying out of trouble during the event and proving that he was competitive on a super-oval.
