In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Paul Arute took the early lead at the green flag with Zack Robinson taking second from John Blake on lap-2 but the caution flew before the lap was complete for a spin in turn 1 by Armand Cote, Jr. to put Robinson back in third for the lap-2 restart.
Arute took the lead on the restart with Robinson again going door to door with Blake for second place. Robinson took the spot on lap-2 just before the caution came back out for a spin in turn 1 by Marc Curtis.
Robinson took the lead from Arute on the restart with Blake briefly making it 3-wide for the lead. Arute settled into second with Blake third before Rick Lanagan spun in turn 4 to bring the caution back out with 3 laps complete.
Robinson charged into the lead on the restart with Arute taking second. Blake was third in line followed by Andrew Durand in fourth and the side by side duo of Wayne Coury, Jr. and Keane for fifth. Coury took fifth on lap-5 with Keane right behind him in sixth.
With 10 laps complete, Robinson had pulled out to a lead of several car lengths over Arute with Durand and Blake side by side for third with Coury in fifth. Durand took over third from Blake on lap-14 and that move allowed Coury to take fourth, Keane fifth, and Adam Gray sixth as Blake slipped back to seventh in line. Durand made a move to get by Arute and take over second place on lap-16 while Robinson was still in command.
Coury’s car dropped off the pace on lap-19 and he limped his way back to pit road as Gray and Keane were now side by side for third place with Arute in fifth as Robinson continued to lead. Gray took third with Keane and Arute falling into line behind him.
Robinson held Durand off to the checkered flag to pick up his first career Late Model win at Stafford. Gray finished third with Keane and Andrew Molleur rounding out the top-5. Source; Scott Running Media Press Release
