After the polesitter’s defense Nick Sanchez And Zane Smith Over the next thirty rounds, her challenges became increasingly worrisome Stewart Friesen tapped Grant Enfinger and they twirled through the grass with eight laps to go.
Though it was too far to force an overtime, Hocevar had to hold out for three more rounds and eventually made it. The win is his second of 2023 after winning Texas in April, which also came with a frantic final restart.
Smith settled for second place, but it still gave him his first top ten since Kansas in early May.
“We just struggled from first to second place, but from third to fourth we were really good. That was all,” Smith said. “To be honest I was pretty taken aback when the booking came because I knew we were struggling with the restarts throughout the day. We had a really fast Speedco Ford. I just wish we had clean air there. It was a tough four to five weeks. So we should all be pretty proud to leave here with a stage win and be able to keep up all night.”
