Mayes took the early lead, but Campbell grabbed it from him on lap two, leaving the field behind. Moughan got by Mayes for second on the last circuit.

Shanks took the lead at the drop of the green and pulled away for the win. Smith was running sixth, one spot out of a transfer on lap four, when he performed a 360 spin. He recovered for eighth. Keith, coming off a flip the night before in Peducah, KY came within an eyelash of grabbing the last transfer.

Babb led the duration. Moss exited on lap two after making contact with another car and breaking something in the front end. The lap two incident resulted in a restart with Babb leading Rose, Worley, Logan and McCarl. McCarl made a last ditch effort to get by Logan that fell a few feet short.

Giannetto led flag to flag. May was running in the last transfer spot on lap four when he spun, collecting T. Montgomery who won last year's All Star show at Farmington. Both restarted at the rear. Hunt was running fifth, but spun in turn four on the final circuit, surrendering the spot to Boyer who was using a 360 powerplant. O'Dell was competing in his first career 410 start.

The restart saw May leading Smith, Gressman, T. Montgomery and Matthews. A lap later, Wade spun. Keith moved up well but had four passes negated by yellow flags thwarting a chance at a transfer.

Before a lap could be completed, Crabtree spun in turn three. The restart saw Gressman and Kinser tangle. The latter collected Mayes in the fray, while Gressman continued. Kinser and Mayes restarted at the tail. T. Montgomery also lost the use of his front wing in the tangle. Kemenah grabbed the lead for two laps before J. Montgomery spun bringing out another caution. Meanwhile, Moughan visited the work area. The restart saw Kemenah leading Campbell, McCarl, Blaney and Logan. Blaney made a surge on the restart, overtaking Campbell and McCarl before Crabtree came to a rest in turn two on lap nine. He went pitside. The restart saw Kemenah leading Blaney, Campbell, McCarl and Logan. Rubber was developing and a carousel formed around the lower part of the race track. On lap 30, Campbell tried to make something happen, got high in turns one and two and spun. He was able to recover without a caution, but four laps later made contact with May taking both out of contention and to the tail. The last six laps of the 40 lapper were uneventful as Kemenah claimed his first All Stars win of the season. Worley dropped out on lap 20, Northway did the same on lap 34. Moughan exited on lap 35 after stopping on the track. Giannetto went pitside on lap 37.
