Faucon led Miller and AJ Bruns early in the 12-lapper. Patton spun two laps in to bring the caution. The race went green until the white flag. At that point, Tischer stopped with a broken front end. Nienhiser had worked from row five into the top four, and looked like he would salvage his night. He shot to second on the restart, but broke in turn three on the final lap and limped across the line in sixth.

Abreu shot out to the early lead in the 25-lapper as most of the field rode the wall. Hurley tried the low side for a while in second, followed by Ji. Moughan. Hull was the early mover, going from 12th to 7th. The only caution came at the halfway point for C. Bruns and Daum. Abreu took the green with two lapped cars between himself and Hurley, who was followed by Ji. Moughan, Price-Miller and Loyet. Price-Miller and Loyet exchanged several sliders for the fourth spot, with Loyet eventually gaining the spot. Up front, Rico slipped through traffic with ease on his way to his sixth career MOWA feature win.
