The Jumpboost Racing League was live on April 2nd, 2021 from the 1.5 mile Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. This race picked up right where they left off at Watkins Glen with fast cars, fast laps and lots of action.

The race went 167 laps and ended with the #5 of Blake Thomas leading the pack to victory with a dominant run that lasted all day.

Leading up to the final ten laps of the race, it was apparent that the lead cars were going to be just short on fuel. Rather than pit, the lead cars started to back off on their lead. With nine laps to go, strategy was thrown out of the window when a lapped car driven by Patrick Ganczweski got into the rear end of the #8 of Robert Lopez when he was attempting to make a splash-n-go pit stop to finish the race. This caution bunched the entire field back up after the final yellow flag pitstops being made.

With three to go, Thomas forced the #51 of Eric Wolfe to switch from his high line to the low line and it slowed him down enough for the #11 of Derek Reddick-Baker to catch up and pass Wolfe on the inside in turn 3. That pass would be the last made by the top three drivers as the gaps proved too much for the 11 or 51 to catch up to Thomas.

This race is the 4th race win of the year for the Rowdy Energy team.
