In the 15-lap DARE Stock feature, Paul Bourdon, Jr. didn’t come up to speed at the start, which bottlenecked the inside row and as the field rumbled through turns 1+2, Bourdon came together with Zack Robinson which in turn collected the car of Trace Beyer and brought the caution out with one lap complete. Marcello Rufrano took the lead with Alexandra Fearn giving chase before the caution flew.
On the restart, Dan Dembek got turned into the frontstretch wall to bring the caution right back out. The next restart saw Fearn take the lead from Rufrano while Frank L’Etoile, Jr. moved into third. Robinson was recovered from his early trouble to move into fourth behind L’Etoile with 22 car in fifth. Nicole Chambrello spun to bring the caution out with 3 laps complete.
Fearn and Rufrano were locked in a side by side duel for the race lead back under green with L’Etoile looking to make a 3-wide move for the lead. L’Etoile made his move for the lead in turn 3 but that pass was negated by the caution flag, which came back out with 4 laps complete for a spin by Chambrello.
Fearn and Rufrano resumed their duel for the lead back under green but the caution came back out only one lap later as Chambrello once again had trouble in turn 1 and came to a stop against the wall.
Fearn pulled out to the lead back under green with L’Etoile and Rufrano side by side for second. Tyler Trott spun in turn 2 but was able to keep going and the race stayed green. Dembek was recovered from his hit against the wall and he powered his way by Rufrano to move into third behind Fearn and L’Etoile. Robinson also got by Rufrano to move into fourth at the halfway point of the race.
Dembek made a move in turn 3 to get by L’Etoile for second on lap-11 and Robinson pulled alongside L’Etoile for third on the very next lap. L’Etoile was able to hold off the challenge of Robinson and he held down the third spot. As the field came to the white flag, Dembek pulled alongside Fearn in a fight for the lead. The two cars ran side by side for the final lap and they came to the checkered flag with Fearn beating Dembek by a nose and it was side by side behind them as L’Etoile beat Robinson to the line for third by a nose. Rufrano rounded out the top-5.
