The race took the scheduled 150 laps to complete. Trevor Huddleston, driving for High Point Racing, would make his way to the front from the rear of the field, and led the final 62 laps, holding off Kyle Keller in a similar fashion to the previous Kern race to earn his seventh career ARCA Menards Series West win, and his second of the season.
