Dalton had a stumble before the start, well overshooting his grid box at the end of the formation lap, however he regrouped to keep the lead off the start over Gray.
Unfortunately, whilst fighting for the remaining top 10 spot late in the race, a touch on Zach Bates saw stewards hand the No 33 a 15-second penalty, seeing Sweeny’s possible Top 10 finish drop him back to 18th overall at the conclusion.
