Third starting Brian Herbert would move up and eventually finish in the runner up position while sixth starting C.J. Johnson would come home third. J.D. Johnson settled for fourth Zach Blurton rounded out the top five.

For Peters, it was his third career sprint car Hutchinson Grand Nationals victory with the other two coming in 360 competition back in the 1990's.
