The Grass Valley, California, driver settled into fourth on the opening lap of the 30-lap affair. A quick caution on lap three allowed Sweet to move into third and set his sights on Aaron Reutzel for second. Completing a textbook slidejob on lap eight, the No. 49 secured the second spot. A trio of cautions and subsequent restarts with under 19 laps remaining shuffled Sweet back to sixth.
