The race was held on Saturday, July 31, in Winchester, Indiana at Winchester Speedway, a 12 mile (0.80 km) permanent, oval-shaped, high-banked racetrack. The race was extended from 200 laps to 205 laps due to a green–white–checker finish. After Corey Heim would spin within the closing laps of the race, Ty Gibbs would defend against a charging Greg Van Alst to win his 15th ARCA Menards Series career win, his seventh of the season, and his second consecutive win.
