Connor Zilisch and Brent Crews followed in second and third, completing a podium that underscored the competitiveness of the field.
Viking Motorsports celebrated a breakthrough weekend, with two of its drivers finishing inside the top five and the team labeled the most improved outfit of the event.
Carson Kvapil delivered an unexpected sixth‑place finish in the DGM Racing No. 91, marking one of the team’s best results of the season.
Taylor Gray, however, saw his points tally suffer after running out of fuel late in the race and dropping a lap, a setback that could affect his championship outlook.
