Milliken put up a 21.130 second lap time barely edging out outside polesitter Sam Yarborough who paced the 0.538 mile oval with a 21.139 second lap. The two would share the front row for the first of the twin 50 events. Once the green flag flew to start race one, Sam Yarborough jumped out to the early lead and led flag to flag to win with the field only being slowed by one caution flag. Polesitter Justin Milliken would go on to finish second. Making his first trip to the speedway in 2014, Tyler English finished third with Ryan Glenski and Clay Thomas rounding out the top five.
