In the 20-lap SK Light featuring 18 race teams, a multicar incident broke out on the backstretch that collected Todd Douillard, Ted Cain, Fred Nees, Jr., Norm Sears, Jay Goff, Wesley Prucker, and Ryan Charland to bring the caution out before a lap could be completed.
Carlos Gray held the lead on the restart for most of the first lap but Joe Graf, Jr. overtook him at the line to lead the first lap. Joey Ferrigno was right behind Ferrigno and he moved to the lead on lap-2. Tony Membrino, Jr. was now side by side with Graf for second with Daniel Wesson right on their bumpers in fourth and Al Wisialko was fifth.
Membrino took second from Graf and he was applying heavy pressure to Ferrigno for the lead when the caution came out with 5 laps complete for Nathan Pytko, who came to a stop at the exit of turn 2.
Ferrigno and Membrino resumed their duel for the lead back under green with Wesson getting by Graf to move into third. Membrino was working hard in the outside groove and he was able to finally get the lead from Ferrigno on lap-11 and he got clear of Ferrigno on lap-12. Wesson continued to run in third with Graf in fourth, Vinny Anglace in fifth, and David Arute in sixth.
Graf and Wesson were side by side with Arute and Anglace side by side behind them for third through sixth on lap-16 but that unfolded with Graf moving into third, Graf fourth and Arute fifth with Wesson sliding back to sixth as Membrino continued to lead Ferrigno.
Arute made a strong move to get by Graf on lap-18 and he then took third from Anglace on lap-19. The caution came out with 19 laps complete for Carlos Gray, who spun in turn 4 to set up a green white checkered finish.
On the restart, Wisialko and Rit Dulac spun and took a hard hit into the turn 1 wall to bring the caution right back out. Ferrigno got a good run on the outside of Membrino to take the lead, but it was too good of a run as the start was called back. Ferrigno was sent to the rear of the field for jumping the start. This put Arute next to Membrino on the front row with Anglace and Graf in the second row. Membrino took the lead with Anglace and Arute going side by side for second. Arute took second on the final lap and he made a bid for the lead but Membrino was able to hold him off. As they came off turn 4, Arute made another run on the inside of Membrino but he came up just short at the line as Membrino took his third win of the 2016 season. Anglace finished third with Graf and Norm Sears rounding out the top-5.
