Creed took the lead from Day at the very start, but Day reeled him back in and retook the lead ten laps into the race.<\/p>\n
Day went on to lead the rest of the opening stage, while Creed fell all the way back outside the top ten.<\/p>\n
As Day won Stage 1, he was followed by Mayer, Caruth, Jones, Love, Crews, R. Sieg, Tay. Gray, Hill, and\u00a0Allgaier \u00a0<\/p>\n
During the stage break, Jones won the race off pit road, but there were questions around if they got the left-front right. Day lost four positions on pit road, falling down to fifth.<\/p>\n
On the restart, Jones looked very unstable, as the car was too free due to what they now realized was a loose wheel on the No. 20. Mayer made a three-wide pass for the lead, and as Jones fell back, he got loose underneath Love’s car.<\/p>\n
Jones over-corrected up into the wall, ending his race and destroying Justin Allgaier’s car as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sawalich barely beat Kvapil in the race off pit road, while Mayer was sent to the rear of the field for a wheel that rolled away from the pit crew. Caruth also got hit with an uncontrolled tire penalty, and Gray had to make an extra stop to tighten a wheel.<\/p>\n
On the restart that followed, Kvapil tagged the wall while trying to get by Sawalich, and Day ended up passing both of them soon after.<\/p>\n
Things were very green in this stage as well, with Day pitting from the lead with 57 laps to go. After the cycle of green-flag pit stops, Day led Kvapil by less than a second.<\/p>\n
As the laps ticked away, Day struggled to get around Sammy Smith, which helped Smith’s teammate Kvapil close in on Day.<\/p>\n
Kvapil passed Day with ten laps to go, only for Day to immediately go to the very top of the track, kicking up dust and powering back by. He drove all over the track in the closing laps, even losing the lead again with two laps to go before surging back by. Day bounced off the wall multiple times in the last two laps while ripping the top, holding onto the race win.<\/p>\n
The margin of victory was 0.287s.<\/p>\n
