After the redraw it put the #12 of Eric Rudd on the pole and Moff starting outside pole. From the drop of the green flag Moff and Rudd had quite a battle running side by side for many laps.
There was some great racing just behind the leaders between Kyle Bookmiller, Jimmy Wilkins and Steve Arnold. After a caution on lap 18 would send Arnold to the rear the battle continued up front between Moff and Rudd, Sean McLaughlin in the 99 machine making a charge on the outside mixing it up with Bookmiller and Wilkins.
A three car pile up in turn 4 brought out another caution on lap 30 between the #8 of Kent McLean, the #19 Scott McDaniel and Steve Arnold, McLean retired to the pits and McDaniel and Arnold would be able to continue. The double file restart bunched the field up for a restart were Moff muscled his way on the outside to clear the Rudd machine into turn 1 and took the lead for good with Rudd a close second, Jimmy Wilkins a nice third place finish followed by a great come back by Arnold to finish fourth with a battered race car and Bookmiller finished fifth.
