Moudry, who started 10th, held off hard-charging Justin O'Brien who came from the 21st starting spot, for runner-up honors. Jason Schlangen was fourth and Jon Vanminsel completed the top five.
Dan Hovden won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.
In Holley USRA Stock Car action, defending national champ Mitch Hovden took the win over sixth-starting Derek Green. Kevin Donlan came home in the third position, polesitter Dillon Anderson finished fourth and the top five was rounded out by Matt Jones.
