Rowan Pennink took fifth from Owen on lap-14 while Keith Rocco was starting to charge as he took seventh place from Ronnie Williams on lap-15 and he was looking to take sixth from Owen on lap-17. Pennink was also continuing to march to the front as he moved into fourth and was all over Pitkat’s back bumper for third. Pennink took third from Pitkat on lap-20 and he moved by Kopcik to take second place on lap-22. Tommy Membrino, Jr. spun on the backstretch to bring the caution out with 24 laps complete.
