The legend begins as Frank Kimmel makes his ARCA debut. His first race
ends in a wreck but he'd eventually rewrite the record book.

There were 4 cautions, the first for Carl Miskotten crashing in turn 2,
the second for Keselowski dumping Leslie for the lead, the third for
Leslie and Taylor crashing just after the restart & taking Kimmel with
them, and the lengthy fourth for Kimmel crashing out in the middle of
turns 3 and 4.

Laps led: Leslie - 45; Bowsher - 8

Time of race: 0:48:11

There were 6 lead changes among 4 drivers

Leslie passed Keselowski to take the lead on the very first lap and
sliced through traffic with ease. Once Keselowski caught Leslie in clean
air, he turned him around coming out of turn 4 and took the lead.
Keselowski lost the lead on the restart to Strait, but just a couple
laps later Leslie got too agressive while charging through the field and
spun out with Taylor while trying to go 3 wide, ending his chances at
the win for good.

Strait made the winning pass on Bowsher and took the lead on lap 121.
Strait restarted 4th after the late caution for the slow car of Kimmel
wrecking hard but clearly had the best car of anyone on the track.
Keselowski was the restart leader but was quickly passed by Bowsher.
After just a couple laps, Strait passed Keselowski and Brevak in a gutsy
3-wide move and set his sights on Bowsher. With 2 to go, Brevak broke
the driveshaft and rolled slowly around the track, desperately trying to
finish the race. Brevak stopped on the track just shy of the finish line
but it didn't impede Strait's progress at all.

Strait, Bowsher, Keselowski and Leslie were the only laps leaders.
Nobody else led laps.

Strait led 56 laps, which would mean Keselowski led 16

Updating some info here:

Cautions: 4 for 26 laps
Margin of victory: 1 carlength

Lap leaders: Keselowski pole, Leslie 1-44, Keselowski 45-49, Strait
50-99, Keselowski 100-111, Bowsher 112-119, Strait 120-125

Keselowski led 17 laps and Leslie led 44 laps.

(I like to think I did pretty good for previously going off of
eyeballing a home video of the race, ok?)
