8:55 PM. Caden Kvapil lurks on the outside again but can't complete the pass as they navigate lapped traffic.
8:54 PM: Lapped traffic is starting to play a factor. Kvapil appears to be faster than Heim but can't get around him for the spot. Chase Robertson and Andrew Grady are the next drivers to go a lap down as we approach the next race stoppage.
8:53 PM: Pulliam moves by Loftin for fourth. Jared Fryar is lurking behind Conner Jones for sixth. 39 to go.

8:48 PM: Caden Kvapil and Corey Heim are battling tooth and nail for the top spot. Heim has done a masterful job playing defense each time Kvapil has gone to his inside and when he has tried going on the outside. Carson Loftin is in third a few car lengths back just waiting for the front two to make a mistake but keep in mind, we have another guaranteed caution coming.

8:25: Justin Carroll owner of Conner Jones machine says that there are too many games being played on restarts. The hoods didn't look like this before the race. The top (tower) needs to fix this. Lee Pulliam says his foot has not touched the brake pedal on the restarts as he would not jeopardize his opportunity to win this event.
8:16 PM: Lee Pulliam leads at lap 100 for the stage break. The teams can make adjustments during this break. Lee Pulliam has been warned about his restarts so that will be something to watch.
8:07 PM: Tate Fogleman, Jacob Borst and Landon Huffman are involved in a crash on the back stretch. Not a lot of damage for Huffman but Borst has significant damage. Looks like Matt Cox may have been involved in that. Borst is done for the night.

7:45 PM: Restart. Lee Pulliam has a great restart and he is gone. Corey Heim is second. Trevor Ward has fallen to third with Carson Loftin stalking him for the position. The two make slight contact.

7:38 PM: Woody Howard and Landon Huffman battle side by side for the 33rd position. They are in front of the leader Lee Pulliam. This has allowed Corey Heim to catch the front two as the yellow has come out for the stopped car of Michael Bumgarner.
7:34 PM: Pulliam will have to start working around lapped traffic himself. Brandon Lopez is directly in front of him as Clay Jones falls a lap down. Woody Howard and Bobby McCarty are battling for position to stay on the lead lap themselves. 41 laps of 200 are complete.
7:32 PM: Trevor Ward is starting to approach lapped traffic. Chase Murphy and Tyler Matthews fall a lap down. This has allowed Lee Pulliam to catch Trevor Ward to take the lead.
7:27 PM: Corey Heim gets by Dillon Harville for the third spot. Caden Kvapil has also gotten around Harville as Harville slides down to fifth. Trevor Ward and Lee Pulliam are still one and two.
7:23 PM: Chase Ratliff who received one of the final transfer spots is slow on the track. He has made it to pit road and it looks like he is the first casualty of the night.
