The victory by Moran was his second career Valvoline Iron-Man Late Model Northern Series victory and be his second of the season as well. The 26-year old Moran would take the win in a Longhorn Chassis powered by a Clements Race Engine that carries sponsorship from Tye Twarog Performance Parts, C and W Trucking, Big D’s Pizza, Tommy Pope Construction, M and M Painting and Construction, Accu-Force Dynos and Testers, Eddie’s Auto, Muskingham County Speedway, VP Racing Fuels, and Bilstein.
Devin Moran would take the lead at the start of the 39th Jim Dunn Memorial main event, with R.J. Conley, Jacob Hawkins, Ryan Montgomery, and Gregg Satterlee giving chase. Satterlee would work past Montgomery for fourth on lap two, but the caution would one as the field started working lap three for a four-car tangle in turn one involving Michael Chilton, Dustin Nobbe, Todd Brennan, and Zack Dohm, with Nobbe and Dohm done for the night. The restart would also see the caution wave immediately once again when Brennan and Ted Nobbe would tangle in turn two. This restart would see Moran maintain the lead, with R.J. Conley, Jacob Hawkins, and Satterlee second through fourth, while Mason Zeigler would take fifth from Montgomery. The third caution of the event one circuit later when Colton Burdette would spin his machine in turn two. The top five would remain the same on this restart, with Moran quickly putting some distance back to second-place running R.J. Conley. As Moran started lapping slower cars on lap eleven, Jacob Hawkins would challenge R.J. Conley for second and take the spot on lap fourteen. The final caution would appear on lap eighteen for a car over the banking in turn one and two. For what would be the final restart, the front five would remain the same, with Satterlee immediately pressuring R.J. Conley for the third position and would gain the spot on lap nineteen. Zeigler would fire a slidejob on R.J. Conley and take the fourth position on lap twenty-one, while Moran continued to maintain a comfortable over Jacob Hawkins. As Moran would begin working lapped traffic once again on lap twenty-eight, Jacob Hawkins would begin to reel in Moran, closing the lead to 0.523 seconds at one point, however, Moran would get through a large group on traffic perfectly and quickly stretch his lead back to 1.200 seconds by lap thirty-three. Jared Hawkins would close on fifth-place running R.J. Conley and would take the final position in the top five on lap thirty-four. Moran would go unchallenged the remainder of the way and see the checkered flag first, with Jacob Hawkins finishing second, while Satterlee would finish third. Zeigler and Jared Hawkins would complete the top-five finishers. Rounding out the top ten would be Rod Conley, Ryan Montgomery, Todd Brennan, R.J. Conley, and Michael Chilton.
