Jerry Richson sat on the pole for the race, but quickly fell back as he pushed up off turn 2 on the first lap. Brad Simmons seized the opportunity and took the lead, which he would keep for about the whole race. Both Contey Motorsports cars spent the early stages of the race in the top 10, which echoed their practice sheets, as their quickest laps were the earliest ones.

On lap 22, Mike Johnson hooked Lorenzi Rossini on the backstretch, sending him into the inside fence and upside down.

Tyler Deefer, Austin Kingston, Justin Pisani, Nate Knowitall, CJ Long, and Shawn Glossum pitted just before the next caution, which saw Bruce Wilkinson hook Jalen Scransen off turn 2 just as Kingston merged back onto the track beside them. The #26 and #44 cars spun down the back straightaway, but received minimal damage. Also, coming off of turn 4 to the yellow flag, Mike Johnson pushed up into David Lee Bibson, sending both their cars into the wall right side first.

On lap 39, Joey Johnson tried to go 4-wide with Nick K, Grant Jacobs and Brandon Corna off of turn 4. It didn't work. He hooked the 39 into the inside wall and went along for the ride, putting the third yellow flag out. Grant Jacobs took second coming to the line.

Ten laps later, Jason Miller hooked Joey Johnson (you guessed it!) off turn 4, collecting Jared Kash, CJ Long, Matt Contey, and Jerry Richson. Miller's slow #52 machine would prove to be a nuisance for the second-place Grant Jacobs as Simmons extended his lead.

A debris caution on lap 69 would set up a one-lap shootout between the two Simmons Racing cars. Jacobs put a fender under the #03 in turn 2, but Simmons got the better run, cleared his protege, and soared under the flag first. Shawn Glossum also managed to get by Jared Kash for the transfer spot, which the #50 had held coming to the restart.

Chives, if you're looking for an actual answer, I've started two other races since Livonia.
