Avoiding a few tense moments in turn four, Davenport earned $10,000 for his fourth full-field Lucas Oil Series victory of the season in taking the checkers 0.680 of a second ahead of Moran, who led laps 6-10 and cut down Davenport's three-second margin in the final laps. Series points leader Ricky Thornton Jr. ran second laps 13-29 but settled for third.

Winning Quote From Jonathan Davenport

"I knew I needed to get the lead from Devin. I thought I slid him pretty clean there and then he come back across the nose and I just wasn't going to lift. I'm just tired of getting run over."
