Race is over after an ordeal on ARCARacing.Com. They allowed Elko Speedway to provide radio coverage on the site, and it just about killed the site for a few hours. Still no qualifying results have been posted, and qualifying was five hours ago. They were also unable start live timing and scoing until about 80 laps into the 200 lap race. Anyways, Alex Bowman took the pole, but Brennan Poole ended up bringing Ventrini Motorsports's six car mega team to Victory Lane for the first time this season. Poole take the points lead with this victory.
