Villopoto crashed after making contact with Alessi on the second lap and re-started in 19^th place. Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart moved into second place on Lap 6, moving Millsaps back to third place.

Millsaps waited until Lap 13 to re-pass Stewart for second place. Stewart was passed again for third by Team Honda Muscle Milk’s Justin Barcia.

Dungey, who secured his position in the Main Event via the final transfer position in the Last Chance Qualifier, became the fourth different winner in five races this season and moved into second place in season standings. Millsaps finished second and holds a 14-point lead over Dungey. Barcia, who did not finish the last two races, finished third.

"We felt some emotion coming into tonight’s race after barely making it into the Main Event,” said Dungey. "The team was sweating it, but we pulled it off. It’s a long season and this is a big step for the team.”
