Boggs then set his sights on Carrier and received a much needed caution on lap 17, putting Boggs right on the rear bumper of Carrier. On the restart, Boggs put his car up top and got a big run on Carrier as they battled side by side for the lead.

The two battled for the next three laps with Boggs able to clear Carrier and pull away out front. The race wasn’t over with yet as a caution flag flew on lap 22 to setup a three-lap shootout. Carrier put his No. 28 machine up top on the restart, but wouldn’t have enough to pass Boggs as Jackie Boggs came across the checkers to claim his second feature win in a row.
