Grant Enfinger placed second. John Hunter Nemechek, Christian Eckes and Zane Smith completed the top five. Tanner Gray was sixth. Kyle Busch finished seventh.
Carson Hocevar was on his way to winning his first series race before a caution sent the race to overtime. After the restart, Hocevar spun while battling Ryan Preece for the lead and backed into the wall. Preece also hit the wall. Preece pitted from the lead during that caution. Hocevar, who led a race-high 57 laps, finished 16th. Preece finished 11th.
"All you kids watching right now wanting to get to this level ... don't do that. Race with respect."
