## Race

[edit]

### Summary

[edit]

Matt Crafton began on pole, but was quickly overtaken by Todd Gilliland and Ben Rhodes. Natalie Decker made contact with the wall early in the race, damaging the right side of her truck and bringing out the first caution. Kyle Busch would lead most of Stage 1 but give up the win after pitting with 5 laps to go in the stage. Crafton won the stage after passing and battling Gilliland for the lead.

When Stage 2 started, Busch quickly overtook Ross Chastain and dominated, staying out when a caution occurred with 56 laps remaining due to Gus Dean spinning out and collecting Korbin Forrister and Angela Ruch. When another caution followed soon after due to debris on the track, Busch pitted and lost the lead.

Busch would chase and overtake Ben Rhodes and Johnny Sauter with 39 laps to go, ultimately winning the race as Sauter failed to keep up speed on the restart and held back some of the field. This was Busch's last truck race of 2019, making him undefeated in the season.[7][8]
