Just as halfway went up on the board Anthony Alfredo and Justin Allgaier would start swapping the lead as Alfredo would clear away for the lead as Gragson would once again enter the picture for the lead diving deep under Alfredo to take the lead away with four laps remaining in stage two.
Stage two would end with Gragson taking home the stage win over Alfredo, Herbst, Mayer and Berry. However, Creed who was racing with Alfredo for second place would get turned down the back by Allgaier spinning across the skid pad yet keeping himself off the wall to gather it back up to keep the stage green.

Chaos would ensue with just 18 laps remaining when Nemechek, Graf and Creed would get together on the back for the sixth caution of the night when Brandon Brown would get into the back bumper of Nemechek to start the chain reaction ending the night of Nemechek, Creed and Graf.
