As the race advanced, Kennedy drove by Chad Kemenah, pole sitter Shawn Donath, Harli White, and Greg Hodnett to take over the third position.
With 10 laps to go, Kennedy was closing in on the leader, Travis Rilat and Mark Smith, when a red flag halted the race and, ultimately, Kennedy’s progress.

Mark Smith went on to take the win, followed by Kennedy, who was running one of Smith’s Mach 1 Chassis, to complete the 1-2 finish.
