The best racing on the track on Lap 22 was Sauter and Setzer battling it out for 13th place.
By Lap 24, Hornaday would lead Cook by 1.483 seconds and the rest of the field is 2.5 seconds back or worse. Malsam has made it up to 19th and continues picking off positions.
By Lap 31, Hornaday now leads by 2.138 seconds, over Cook and Scott's still running in sixth.
Jason White in the No. 23 GunBroker.com Dodge would lose a right front tire and makes it to pit road okay no caution.
After 33 Laps, the top five was; Hornaday leading, Cook second, Almirola third, Skinner fourth and Compton fifth.
By Lap 42, Hornaday would lead Cook by 4.3 seconds, who starts to feel pressure from Almirola in third.
On Lap 47, the best racing on the track is Compton fifth, Scott sixth and Crafton seventh as they start battling for these positions.
Two laps later Crafton would pass Scott for sixth. Scott this week is racing with a thinner cast, x-rays taken this week while changing casts showed that the wrist is healing well.
Like last week, Ted Musgrave is standing by in-case Scott needs to make a driver change do to the wrist.
The second caution comes out on Lap 52, for Chris Jones in the No. 87 Copy Wizard/Safe Surfin Foundation Chevrolet which lost a tire got against the wall.
Mario Gosselin in the No. 12 James Carter Attorney at Law Chevrolet would be the Aaron's Lucky Dog Award winner under this caution.
It would erase the huge lead Hornaday had on the rest of the field and he has hit the lap traffic just right so far.
On Lap 53, the leaders all pit making the first of two stops, just about everyone took tires and Hornaday was the first off of pit road after the first stop.
On Lap 54, everyone but T.J. Bell comes to pit road for their second stop and Hornaday would be the first off of pit road on this stop.
Under caution, the top five was; T.J. Bell in the No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota was leading, Hornaday was second, Skinner was third, Almirola was fourth and Cook was fifth.
On the Lap 58 restart, Bell would take the green, but would get passed by Hornaday going into turn three for the lead.
By Lap 60, Hornaday leads, but both Skinner and Almirola would pass Bell for second and third respectively and he'd be running fourth.
On Lap 61, Almirola would pass Skinner for second and drop him to third.
The third caution flag came out on Lap 63, for a multi-Truck wreck involving Setzer, James Buescher in the No. 10 Maxx Force Diesel International, Chris Fontaine in the No. 84 Glenden Enterprises Chevrolet and Jason Young in the No. 07 3BR/ASI Limited Chevrolet.
There was no Aaron's Lucky Dog winner under this caution.
Both Buescher and Young have major damage, while Fontaine and Setzer had minor damage and would continue.
On the Lap 68 restart, Hornaday takes the green, he'd just hang on as Almirola would try to pass on the low side but wasn't able to make it stick.
By Lap 70, Hornaday would be leading by 0.358 seconds over Almirola in second. Crafton would pass Cook for fourth and starts after Skinner in third.
The fourth caution comes out on Lap 74, for Brian Ickler in the No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts/Samsung Instinct Toyota spinning after getting into Ricky Carmichael in the No. 4 Monster Energy Drink Chevrolet.
