Race

Pole-sitter James Buescher led for the first two laps before Chase Elliott took the lead, leading for 23 laps until lap 26, when Ryan Blaney claimed it, leading for two laps until it was relinquished to Ty Dillon. Germán Quiroga and Miguel Paludo also led laps, the former leading laps 34–36 and the latter leading 37–46; Dillon took the lead again on lap 48. Prior to lap 48, three cautions were waved: on lap 8 for Max Gresham stalling in turn 5, on lap 33 for Jennifer Jo Cobb's stall in turn 2, and on lap 47 with Alex Guenette also stalling in turn 4. Dillon continued to lead for 17 laps from lap 47 to 63, and on lap 58, Johnny Sauter stalled in turn 6. [14] In the final turn of the last lap, Elliott turned Dillon into the tire barrier, [16] which brought out the caution, [14] to claim his first career NASCAR win in his sixth series start, [16] becoming the youngest Truck Series race winner at 17 years, 9 months, 4 days. [17] Followed by Elliott was Chad Hackenbracht, Paludo, Darrell Wallace Jr., Ron Hornaday Jr., Max Papis, Ross Chastain, Timothy Peters, Buescher and Matt Crafton. [6] Derek White (rear hub), Guenette (oil line), Brennan Newberry (transmission), Sauter (gas line), Carl Long (brakes) and Chris Lafferty (clutch) failed to finish the race. [14]

The race featured seven lead changes, six different leaders and five caution periods. [14]

Post-race

In victory lane, Elliott stated about the wreck: [18]

"We only have so many shots to win these things. I really hate to win them like that, I really do. That's not how I race and that's never been how I've raced before. I had a shot. I was up next to Ty and I knew he was going to try and chop me off. I tried to make up the difference. ... Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do to get to victory lane."

Meanwhile, Dillon, who finished 17th, said, "You've got to show respect. I hope he runs Iowa (next week). He won't finish the race." [18] The following week at the Fan Appreciation 200, Elliott crashed on lap 35, finishing 31st. [19]

Also on the final lap, Max Papis and Mike Skeen battled for second when they made contact in the final turn, [17] and after the race, Skeen's pit crew, along with Skeen's girlfriend, attacked Papis. Papis later accused Skeen's girlfriend of dislocating his jaw, [20] [21] saying, "This crazy lady comes shouting at me, and I had no idea, didn't even understand her, she just started shouting. And all the sudden, she took a full hand – and she slapped me so hard. I'm not kidding. My jaw got dislocated and my left ear is still ringing, big time." Papis later redacted his statements, citing language barriers. [22] On September 4, 2013, NASCAR suspended Skeen's girlfriend indefinitely from all NASCAR events, [23] while crew chief Bryan Berry was fined $2,500. [24]

Another post-race altercation involved Germán Quiroga and crews for James Buescher after the two and Ron Hornaday tangled in the final laps. Quiroga was spun out on the final lap and tried to confront Buescher in the pits before being restrained by NASCAR officials. [25]
