The race began with Hank Davis leading from pole position, building a substantial early lead until a Lap 3 caution when Blake Hahn spun in Turn 4. Davis maintained control through multiple restarts but was forced to retire just past the halfway point after hitting the wall on the backstretch, ending his chances at the Owners title.

Matt Covington inherited the lead with 15 laps remaining but faced constant pressure from Hafertepe. With six laps to go, Hafertepe executed a decisive move, using the high line in Turns 3 and 4 before crossing over to the bottom to complete the pass for the lead. He went on to win by nearly two seconds.

Covington finished second, marking his ninth podium of the year without a National Tour victory. Blake Hahn recovered from his early spin to claim third, while newly-crowned Series champion Seth Bergman charged from 15th to fourth, earning Hard Charger honors. Alex Sewell rounded out the top five with his best National Tour finish of the season.

The 2025 ASCS National Tour season will kick off at Volusia Speedway Park during the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals, January 30-February 1.
