Scott Richwine spun in turn three on lap 12 to bring out the caution and slowed the field. On the restart, Ryan continued to battle with Covert.

By the third lap, Scott Richwine, doing double duty in the two Late Model features, took the lead from Wampler. As Richwine continued to lead lap-after-lap with a few caution periods sprinkled in between, Carl Billet moved his way through the field from an eighth place starting spot into the second spot behind Richwine on the 16th lap. A caution on lap 21 allowed Billet to close up on the rear bumper of Richwine, but Richwine was able to keep the lead and pickup his fourth win of the season at SSP. Bilet settled for second.

Not far behind was Jason Failor, Ray Broderick, and Mike Goodwin. The four car battle continued for second as the laps wound down towards the finish. A caution for a four car accident coming out of turn four with 23 laps complete slowed the field. On the restart, Wampler continued to hold onto the lead.
