Noah Gragson ended up in victory lane by beating Matt Crafton after a late race restart with less than ten laps to go. This was Gragson's first ever career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win in his 22nd career start.

It’s kind of weird coming full circle and having my cousin race. This is the first time that I’ve gotten to race against him, so should be a lot of fun. I’m really looking forward to it.
