As riders began to grab their spot on Snowshoe Dr. for the traditional “Blackwater 100” style start, a brief rain shower began to fall. This race is considered one of the toughest races on the circuit, with some of the most spectacular views. Walker Fowler would be the first to jump out and grab the early lead as he came through in the lead on the opening lap. As the race wore on, he would continue to grow a sizeable gap on the rest of pack. Brycen Neal would have his work cut out for him throughout the 2-hour long race. However, around the halfway point Neal found himself in fifth and pushing to get to the front.

Chris Borich was having a very consistent day in West Virginia, battling through the pack to make his way to the front. Borich continued to push and tried to put a late race pass on the front-runners. Jarrod McClure was having a good race, running in second on the fourth lap. However, after receiving pressure from behind on the last couple of laps McClure would not have enough time to remount and push for the podium position. On the start Adam McGill would get a great jump coming into the woods first, however he would fall back to second behind Fowler for the first three laps of the race. McGill would eventually move back to the fifth place position.
