Point leader Hunter Wright, also of Lebanon, benefited from a fortunate redraw, starting on the pole and controlling the opening stages of the race. Wright built a comfortable lead early, with Corey Deuser and Chase Johnson running second and third. A caution on lap 42 for a crash involving Mark Day and Presley Johnson brought the field back together, but Wright held strong on the restart and continued to lead deep into the race.

Mt. Juliet’s Chase Johnson, Wright’s closest challenger in the championship standings, moved into second just before halfway and began reeling in the leader during a long green-flag run. As the laps wound down, Wright maintained his advantage and appeared poised for his second win of the season. However, a caution with five laps to go changed everything, leading to multiple late restarts and a shakeup at the front.

Fetcho, a three-time Nashville Pro Late Model champion who had earlier made a pit stop and restarted at the tail, stormed through the field in the closing laps. Coming off turn four to the checkered flag, Fetcho made a daring three-wide move to the inside, edging past Wright and Johnson in a thrilling photo finish. Wright and Johnson made contact across the line, finishing second and third. Michael Bolden and Jim Wall rounded out the top five.

Earlier, the Limited Late Model feature got off to a rough start when a checkup at the front of the field on the initial green collected Buddy Moody and Bennie Hamlett, ending both drivers’ nights.

On the complete restart, Peyton Hamlett quickly took control in his No. 98 machine, building a lead of over four seconds before a Lap 9 caution bunched the field. The restart brought division standout Johnathan Dishman to Hamlett’s outside, but Hamlett proved too strong, pulling away to earn his first win of the season. Dishman finished second, followed by Carl Porter, Jr., Dwayne Hudson and Howard Tucker.

In the Masters/Pro feature, Fetcho led the opening three laps of the caution-free event before Michael Crafton powered to the front on Lap 4. Crafton, a division frontrunner, set a strong pace and maintained control for the remaining distance to secure the victory. Oliver Cordell finished second, followed by Boston Oliver in third, Kevin Rollins in fourth and early leader Fetcho rounding out the top five.
