Hand was shuffled out of the lead on the opening lap of the Prefinal by Kaminski but returned to the point on lap three. He led until lap 10 with Texas Sprint Racing Series champion Jesus Vasquez Jr. taking control and the race win – as Jackson Menchu slipped into second. After leading the opening three laps of the Final, Vasquez dropped down to fifth as Hand took over the lead. Vasquez fought back to reclaim the top spot by lap 10. Hand led for a second time on lap 17, showing the way to the white flag. During the final circuit, Kaminski was able to work past Hand. Leading only the final lap, Kaminski celebrated his fifth straight victory on the season. Hand was short at the line by 58 thousandths, with Menchu joining them on the podium in third.
