WATERFORD – Tyler Barry was a strong force for the 50 lap SK Lights from the drop of the green flag, with Eddie Gomarlo and Zack Sangermano fighting it out for second. Nickolas Hovey picked off these drivers with ease on his charge to the front. Also working his way through the field, Evan Bourgeois was making use of the bottom groove to advance position, finding himself in second by lap 18 when a caution racked the field giving him a quick shot at the lead. Bourgeois sent his car into turn 1 making contact with Hovey, who was able to hang on as he settled into third. As Hovey was trying to find his way back to the lead, Jake Hines threw his hat in the ring giving him a run for his money in second. Hovey was able to clear after a lengthy battle and start his pursuit. Another caution afforded Hovey the opportunity to swipe back the top spot, until a failed crossover by Bourgeois sent them both to the rear with just ten laps on the board. Barry and Gomarlo were now in control of the field with John O’Sullivan hot on their tail, but Gomarlo gave it everything he had to win his second race of the season.
