• Note: Stewart Friesen, Ross Chastain, Brett Moffitt, and Matt Crafton were not eligible for stage points as they were competing for the championship.

Stewart Friesen started on pole, but Ross Chastain quickly pressured him and overtook him by the first lap. However, he was unable to pull away from Friesen and the two built up a large lead over the remainder of the field. Austin Hill caught up to them and overtook Chastain to take the stage win.

Brett Moffitt won the race off pit road after Hill was blocked. Chastain caught up to Moffitt in a similar manner he did to Friesen at the beginning of the race. Hill again caught up to the leaders and passed them, remaining in the lead to take the second stage win.

On lap 51, a caution was thrown for Ray Ciccarelli leaking fluid onto the track. Christian Eckes moved to the front on slightly worn tires. In the final round of green flag pit stops, Eckes pitted 10 laps before the others, while Hill stayed out for an extra 9 laps before pitting. Friesen was hit by Angela Ruch while entering his pit stall, costing him significant time. He later lacked long run speed, eliminating his chances of winning.

Hill won the race by around 1.5 seconds over Matt Crafton, who became the 2019 champion despite not winning a single race during the season. Eckes finished third, giving Kyle Busch Motorsports the owner's championship. Chastain finished fourth and Moffitt finished fifth.

Joe Nemechek, who started 23rd and finished 14th, brokeRichard Petty's all-time start record across NASCAR's top 3 series, starting his 1,186th NASCAR race.
