Nemechek got his Chevrolet to the front on the restart, but another late crash brought out the caution at the finish. It was his second series win of 2003.

Scott Riggs was second in a Ford Taurus, followed by Shane Hmiel and series points leader Todd Bodine in Chevrolets. Rookie Chad Blount earned his first career series top five in a Dodge.
