Mike David was able to avoid trouble to take the runner-up spot, followed by Austin Cameron in third. His teammate, Moses Smith had a career-best fourth-place finish, with Daryl Harr coming home fifth.

Souza, who started 11th, had to overcome problems of his own. He had a flat tire early in the race and had to pit under green-flag conditions. He steadily worked his way to the front, making up many spaces late in the race. The 43-year-old driver from Aromas, Calif., was making only his 10th start in the NASCAR Camping World Series West. He has run only select events since first competing in the series in 2004, focusing primarily on road course races.

Eric Holmes, who leads the championship standings, tried to battle back throughout the race after encountering early trouble. After pitting with a flat tire, he ended up losing a lap while serving a pit road penalty. Holmes worked his way back onto the lead lap, but then limped to the finish with another flat on the final lap. Nevertheless, he was able to hold onto his lead in the point standings with 1,621 markers. Bowles remains second with 1,564, while David moved to third with 1,511.
