Seven drivers entered the 250-lap race already locked into the playoffs, leaving three spots up for grabs.
Matt DiBenedetto, Nick Sanchez, and Matt Crafton managed to score enough points to secure their place in the postseason, while Stewart Friesen was the first driver to miss the cut. He ended up 39pts outside of the playoffs at the checkered flag.
Ty Majeski was the class of the field, but Carson Hocevar on fresh tires was able to run him down. With three laps to go, he took the race lead and earned his third victory of the 2023 season.
Corey Heim finished sixth, and clinched the regular season championship for Tricon Garage.
