A bit of internet connection malfunction placed a pitting car dead center of the track and directly in the path of Henrie, just long enough to cause him to falter and lose his momentum. Leinen grabbed the lead with 12 to go and won the race. Henrie finished 2nd followed by Matt Hoose, Kalen Fagan, and David Schaeffer.
