Perchak took the checkered flag in his second consecutive time trial race over Kunsman. Ben Stolz finished a strong night on the podium in third. Jesse Maurer, subbing for an injured Scott Gingrich, finished fourth followed by Brandon Hawkins. Brad Brown was sixth ahead of Brandon Gibble, Jarid Kunkle, Matt Fernsler, and Zach Hollinger.
