At the one-third mark, Lap 50, Busch pitted, turning the lead over to Skinner, who was trailed by Marks, Annette and Hornaday. Two laps later, the caution flew for the fourth time when Chrissie Wallace backed her GEICO Toyota into the wall at the exit of Turn 4.
The caution pinned Busch a lap down, while the lead-lap trucks pitted. Benson won the race off pit road ahead of Erik Darnell in the Northern Tool + Equipment Ford F-150, Skinner, Marks and the No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota of Todd Bodine. Busch got the Lucky Dog, which put him back on the lead lap, but all the way back in 26th place. The race was red-flagged on Lap 57 to allow track workers to repair the damage that Wallace’s truck did to the SAFER barrier.
The track went green on Lap 59, and Busch immediately began charging towards
Caution No. 5 for debris was displayed on Lap 74, one lap before the halfway mark. This time is was Bodine who got the Lucky Dog and got back on the lead lap for the Lap 78 restart, as Benson led Skinner, Darnell, Marks and Crafton.
Four laps later, points leader Hornaday made an unscheduled pit stop with a loose left-rear wheel on his Kevin Harvick Inc.-owned Chevrolet. That dropped him to 27th, one lap behind the leaders.
At the 100-lap mark, Benson held sway over Skinner, Darnell, Marks and Crafton. Benson’s Toyota clearly liked the clean air out front, while behind him Crafton took over fourth place on Lap 108.
