Jenna Klaukas and Cory Probst started on the front row, and Cory got the early lead. Klaukas found herself getting loose around the one-lap mark, with many drivers spinning to miss her.

The father-son duo of Dan and Cory Probst on the front row would do battle as Cory, not giving Dan any slack for Father's day, pulled ahead.

As the green flag dropped, the battle between Groenwold and Larson was on. Larson took the top spot but all the cars behind Halbur -- Justin Luinenburg, Shane Klaassen and Dan Strandberg -- all stayed close behind. With the drivers all fighting for position, Marshall Doeden brought out the caution. As they went green, Larson pulled to the top of the track and brought out the caution, putting Groenwold in the top spot.

Groenwold would have his work cut out for him, with Halbur and Luinenburg starting right behind him.

The caution would come out for Chris Teisler, who drove into the guard rail coming out of corner one.
