Tom Hilbert and Donny Moore were at the forefront of the field to start Round 6 of Season 27, as the engines revved up and the anticipation in the air grew. Hilbert made a swift move to take the lead, and Moore was right behind him in second place. Meanwhile, John Wilson wasted no time and quickly made his way up to third. On the second lap, Moore made a daring move and overtook Hilbert to take the lead, and Wilson followed suit to secure second place.

Further back in the pack, Adam Schoen and Kenny Kibbey were locked in a fierce battle for sixth place, while the season championship contenders raced closely behind. However, on lap 19, a caution brought the race to a halt. The drivers had to put their skills to the test again when the race resumed on lap 24, with Moore and Wilson leading the pack. Moore showed his prowess once again and took the lead, with Joe Snyder hot on his tail, trying to deny Wilson second place. Unfortunately, another caution interrupted the battle, and the drivers had to slow down once again.

The race resumed on lap 30, with Moore and Snyder in the lead. Moore was in his element and maintained his lead, while Wilson managed to stay inside Snyder and took second place. Meanwhile, Scott Negus and Matt Shinoski battled for fourth place, with Negus gaining momentum and making a move to get inside Snyder. Although he couldn’t make the pass, Kibbey soon joined the fray and challenged Negus on the outside for fourth place. In a rare outside pass, Kibbey managed to secure fourth place.

By around lap 40, the drivers had settled into single-file racing, with little change in position. However, the excitement was far from over. On lap 50, the race resumed with Moore and Wilson leading the pack. Moore wasted no time and took the lead once again, with Kibbey also starting strong and taking second place from Wilson. J.R. Shepherd followed closely behind Kibbey to secure third place.

A caution shortly after the restart brought Moore and Kibbey to lead the field to restart on lap 57. Moore maintained his lead, but Kibbey had other plans. He dove under Shepherd and challenged for second place, with the two drivers battling it out side-by-side until lap 62, when Shepherd clinched second place. Meanwhile, Wilson rounded out the lead pack in fourth place, with a half-second lead on the rest of the pack.

The drivers largely maintained their positions for the remainder of the race. Kibbey put a lot of pressure on Shepherd, but the latter managed to pull away slowly and secure his sixth victory in a row on the season, with a half-second lead. Kibbey finished in second place, and Wilson finished in third place.
