Moran, who claimed his 19th career series win and fourth victory of the season, dominated the race despite pressure from multiple competitors. Thornton briefly took the lead on lap 33 with a slider but Moran quickly reclaimed the top spot.
"Baby, I love Brownstown," Moran said in Victory Lane. "The lapped cars were all over the place, and there at the end, it started to get a little bottom dominant."
