Overview
- Ruggiero took the final restart beside Jack Wood for a one-lap dash and pulled away to the checkered flag.
- Jake Bollman charged to second from a deep start after his No. 20 failed post-qualifying inspection, with Kole Raz earning a career-best third.
- Daniel Dye and Glen Reen rounded out the top five, followed by Jack Wood, Jason Kitzmiller, Ryan Vargas, Bobby Dale Earnhardt, and Andy Jankowiak.
- Nitro Motorsports led much of the race before Jake Finch and Gus Dean wrecked from the front with two laps remaining, leaving Bollman as the team’s only top-10 finisher.
- The event ran cleaner than the 2025 opener yet included an engine-failure crash for Alli Owens that brought a red flag, a heavy hit for Thomas Annunziata, and Cleetus McFarland’s recovery to 11th after a broken pit jack.
