On the restart, Atcher would continue to lead it but would be passed by Dustin Smith on lap 5, right after that happened the red flag would come out as Donnie Boucher would roll off the top of turn 4. Smith would lead them back to the green and the only thing slowing down Smith was another caution on lap 11 when Robbie Merkle would go off the turn 2.

Atcher would take 2nd, Clay Deppe was 3rd, Michael Jeannette was 4th and Trent Murphy was 5th.

Gustin look to be pulling away but Mike O'Lear was gaining ground as was Jimmy Gustin. Richie Gustin then would lose power on lap 11 and O'Lear would make the pass for the lead. Jimmy Gustin was gaining on O'Lear they would get together along with a lap car of Andrew Kinser on the back stretch on lap 17 forcing Kinser to bring out the yellow.
