Eckes finished second, Chandler Smith was third, Stewart Friesen fourth and Johnny Sauter rounded out the top five.
The race opened up relatively calm, except for a stack up at the start that caused some front end damage further in the pack. Stage one went caution free and Chandler Smith took the victory over his Kyle Busch Motorsports teammates Heim and John Hunter Nemechek.
Stage two, however, was when the wheels started falling off the wagon. The first caution for an incident came when Ty Majeski went below Taylor Gray and tagged him, sending him around and into the wall. Rajah Caruth, in his first Truck start, came in hot behind Gray and also skidded around, though no harm was done.
Then a bigger crash occurred with about 16 laps left in stage two. Nemechek attempted to go three wide on the bottom below Friesen and Heim and ended up spinning around on his own. Some other trucks were also collected in the crash, including Majeski, Jesse Little and Colby Howard.

The damage to the No. 4 truck was too severe, and he retired from the race.
Then, a battle for the lead went awry: Grant Enfinger dove underneath Chandler Smith and spun them both around and into the wall. Smith was not happy with Enfinger after the crash.
