These drivers have a major team backing and Maurice is Blake Maurice's younger brother.
After starting P3, Anderson Reed made his move and went 3 wide to take the lead and lead the first lap. Reed maintained the race lead on lap 2 ahead of Mark Sylas. On lap 3 out of turn 2, Silas with help from Alex Benyacko the Duel 2 winner forces Reed out of line and takes the top spot. Despite being forced out of the bottom line, Reed leads lap 3. On lap 4 and lap 5, Reed still leads with a challenge from Ditech's Jesse Turner. Reed remains leader after 6 laps. Jesse Turner off of turn 2 on lap 7 clears Reed, the first time Anderson has not seen clean air this whole season. Out of turn 4, Fisher Gee and Steven Wallace Jr. collide but neither spin and caution is not needed. Jesse Turner leads lap 7, the first time that Reed has not lead a lap in a race this season. Turner still leads on lap 8. On lap 9, Jake Galloway takes the lead off of turn 2. Off of turn 4, Carson Bauers, Casey Mears, Mark Sylas, and Steven Wallace Jr. collide with Sylas, Bauers, and Wallace Jr. sliding down to the bottom. Wallace and Sylas slide back into line, but Bauers slides through the grass and keeps on going into Zachary Fitzwater Sr. triggering the big one. Samet Ozkan had nowhere to go and turned Bauers, collecting more and more cars. Ozkan slid into Jacob Rose and almost got flipped over by the contact from the 86 car.
