Wills pulled out of that battle as he rolled to a stop on lap 13 to bring out, you guessed it, the yellow flag.

With the time limit rapidly approching on the race, Green tried again to duck under Dulock on the restart, But Dulock held the spot. With five to go, the lead duo were running different lines as the battle raged for the win.

Finally on lap 17 Green got a good enough run on the bottom to edge out Dulock back to the line on lap 18. The duo were back side by side as the white waved, but at the finish it was Green in the Hooters, Finish Line Restoration, Johnny Kellough Motorsports cat taking the checkers.
