Hoffman was able to stay on the two leaders bumpers but with his car getting looser as the race went on and the top side of the track going away he came across the line in 3^rd but in post race inspection the car finishing 2^nd was disqualified moving the Hoffman Motorsports #27 into the runner up position.

Racing for the lead, Sites was on the rear bumper of Morgan and made his move on the 47th lap in turns one and two. Sites spun in turn two going for the lead and collected Dustin Hollinger in the mix. This placed Doug Hoffman on the rear bumper of Morgan with three laps to go. Craig Morgan sat in third.
