Ronnie Erickson, Brad Peterson, Matt Weber, John Vaillancourt, and Brett Peterson were the top five qualifiers for the winged feature sponsored by Pirtek and Hoosier Tire North. Brad Peterson, the outside polesitter, quickly took the lead over polesitter Ronnie Erickson and established a commanding advantage for much of the race. Despite experiencing engine issues before the feature, Brett Peterson adeptly navigated lapped traffic and executed a crucial pass for the lead on the white flag lap, earning his first victory of 2025. Chase Viebrock also demonstrated his perseverance, resolving engine problems during qualifying to advance eleven spots from fourteenth and claim the hard charger awards sponsored by GRP and EJ's Bar and Bottle Shop. In the closing stages, Brett Peterson, Brad Peterson, and Viebrock were followed by a tightly contested battle for fourth, with Erickson and Tatnell eventually completing the top five.
