After the fourth and final caution flag of the event – for a hard-impact by Scott Reeves — the Marietta, Georgia-native executed a flawless final restart, holding off Dollar’s No. 15 Sunbelt Rentals Toyota for his second ARCA Menards Series victory and the 71st for Venturini Motorsports.

Drew Dollar finished in the runner-up position, followed by defending series champion Bret Holmes, Ty Gibbs and Kyle Sieg inside the top-five.
Derrick Lancaster – who led the event for five laps — brought his No. 29 Toyota home in sixth-place, with Tanner Gray, Andrew Jankowiak, Jack Wood and Sean Corr rounding out the top-10.
The ARCA Menards Series takes a month-long break before heading to their second event of the season at Phoenix Raceway, a combination event with the ARCA Menards Series West.
