You know Gustin is going to run the top and make it work as he goes down the back straightaway with the lead. Devin Moran the second. Ryan Shirley runs in the third spot. Here comes B. Shep. Ryan Gustin. From about an hour and a half away in Des Moines, Iowa, the home base for that team out in front here at Shelby County. Heavy traffic. Gustin on top. Devin Moran to the bottom. If you're Ryan Gustin, you have to make some moves somewhere in the top because you're right there on Dan Ebert. You have to think if they clear it, oh, it's not going to matter. The Hellraiser caution is out. We got one upside down at the top of turn number three. You see going into turn three. Oh, wow, man, he shot up the racetrack like contact with somebody and you saw him go head on into that catchment. Here's a little rough. Oh, wow. Man. A couple of rough wrecks down in Georgia, Florida, Speedwakes, and he had the gosh, man, I'm glad. I'm glad Bronson was able to miss him there. The Reapers led the first 12 laps, 38 to go off a turn for back underway in Shelby County. Devin Moran in second. Nick Coffman has been turning up the wick and he'll look to the inside of Devin Moran. Lets it slide off the racetrack. Leaves Devin a good, clean groove off of two down the back straightaway. Chasing Ryan Gustin, Devin Moran, Nick Coffman, Brandon Shepherd fourth, Brian Shirley back to fifth. How about Mike Marler marching on the low side in the 157? Hopping down low on the bottom, B-Chef always runs well here in Shelby County down the back straightaway in the fourth spot. Shirley fifth, Blair, Marler, Doody, Dennis Earp, O'Neal to tenth as they come out of turn number four. Josh Rice, 24th to 12th here in the first 14 laps. Gustin says, I can't wait. This isn't going to work. Two for the price of one. Meanwhile, Ebert turns back down the hill, but Gustin gets around one of them. Here comes Devin Moran. Moran loses out of turn number four, but he's there out of two down the back straightaway. Two car lengths for Gustin. Three back is Shepherd. Gustin's going to throw it in on Ebert again as they come out of turn number four up the track. It was six-tenths of a second last time around. It remains five-tenths of a second now. He cut a tenth of a second off. Now Moran's got to battle with Ebert. Oh, baby, business picking up, and Moran's going to throw it in on the bottom. Here they come out of turn four. They're side by side. Will we have a new leader? We don't. It's still Gustin. It's picking up in Shelby County, Ben Shelby. Working lap 26, the Hellraiser jacks. Halfway mark's coming. Gone. And Devin Moran setting his sights on Ryan Gustin. Gustin on the top of the racetrack behind Clay Harris. Meanwhile, Devin Moran down low. Will we have a new leader this time? By Gustin says no, sir, you will not. And now they'll both peel off the top. Gustin through the middle. Moran down low. Gustin slides up the racetrack. Loses momentum. Oh, McCowen, the lap car, makes it three wide. Wow. Here comes Hoffman in on Shepherd. Brandon Shepherd, Nick Hoffman, don't forget about them. Gustin is still at every lap here tonight somehow, some way. Those two have broke away from Brandon Shepherd, and they've got side-by-side lap cars in front of them. Devin Moran starting to move a little lower off the corner, diamonding off the corner. He's got a big run off a two onto Ryan Gustin. Pospisil and Hilsabeck, throws it in at turn number four, and will he have the lead? No. Gustin still leads. Oh, man. Ryan Gustin doing a great job. Moran's better off of two, but that time by Gustin gets a better run, still side-by-side lap cars in front of him. And now Gustin's going to throw it in there. He can't clear Clay Stuckey, though. He'll have to break momentum. That allows Moran to close in on him. 14 laps to go, and it's been Ryan Gustin leading the whole way so far, but, man, it's been far from easy. This may be three years in a row we got a big one Saturday night, a crown jewel race as we come out of turn number four. It is Ryan Gustin, Devin Moran right there at turn number one, nose to tail. At turn number two, Moran looking through the middle, down the back straightaway. Shepard and Huffman are well back at the halfway straightaway. Moran's going to throw it in for the lead on Gustin. He's got it. Ryan says thank you very much. Crossover. Guess what? Gustin still leads in Shelby County, a dandy here, down the back straightaway. 11 laps to go, working lap 40. Gustin thought about going low. Now he'll go to the top. Hilsabeck turns down low. Meanwhile, Devin Moran up in front of him. the line. Your leader, Ryan Gustin, by two hundredths of a second. Now they make contact down in one and two. Gustin and Devin Moran side by side for the lead. Leading on each other, off into three and four. Gustin swings it in there. Ryan Gustin not wanting to go away here tonight. Here comes Brandon Shepard catching both of them, James. Just nine laps to go with Devin, another slider. Crossover by Gustin. Gustin somehow slid every lap, but they're about to have competition. Here comes the rocket. One at the bottom. Moran throws it in. Gustin says, OK, will we have a new leader? No, we do not. It's still Gustin. Somehow, some ways, let every lap. Here comes Moran down the back straightaway. Here comes the one. Here comes the nine. Are you kidding me? Shelby County. We love you. And it turned for Moran. Will it hold this time? Oh, they touched. They bang wheels into one. Moran slides up the track. Here comes Shepard. He was worried about the racetrack. Forget about it. Out of four. Here's the lead. It's still Gustin, Moran, and Shepard. Long green flag stretch. Only one caution flag. Shepard on the bottom. How did he get up there? They're going to race back to five to go. They're three wide through lab traffic. New leader, Brandon Shepard. Devin Moran goes to second. Gustin back to third. Now, Gustin's looking inside of Shepard. Out of two down the back straightaway. Devin Moran, run on the top, James. PSG, baby. PSG. Moran to the outside. Here comes Shepard. Here comes Moran. Gustin, they're side by side. Hoffman is there in nine. Are you kidding me? Down the back straightaway. Nick Hoffman's not done yet. Brandon Shepard's pulling away. He's five tenths of a second over Moran. And now Hoffman's going to go around Devin Moran. Duty out of the party. We'll stay green. Nick Hoffman comes after Ryan Gustin. Two laps, making three laps remain as they work down the back straightaway. This one's been good, James. It seems like we've had five different leaders, but we've only had two. Gustin somehow has held on. Hoffman is going to second now. Nick Hoffman to second in nine as they wind down. Barrett's performance. White flag. One lap to go. It's Shepard. Hoffman. Gustin. Moran.
