The first visit ever to Flat Rock by the ARCA/CRA cars was a great race as the battle up front waged on throughout the 125 lap contest. West Virginia driver Travis Braden started things off by setting fast time at 12:228. Travis drew an 8 for the inversion, giving Kenzie Ruston the pole starting spot. Pat Zorn led lap 1, but Ruston took control on lap 2 and led for 6 laps. Hantz spun on lap 7 to bring out the yellow flag. Braden had to check up to avoid the incident, ending up with some damage and forcing him to the pits. VanDoorn, not satisfied with his machine, also pitted and rejoined the race after making some adjustments. The man on the move was Nate Caruth, who grabbed the top spot away from Ruston on lap 9 and set the pace through lap 90. The yellow flags were only for minor incidents and the pace of the race was quick, but the competition for position was fierce throughout the pack.
