With his triumph in the 50-lap event, Beatty posted his ninth career victory.
Beatty had opened a sizable lead over former two time champion Kyle Soper of Manorville until a minor spin on Lap 39 drew the first and only caution of the race.
“I sure didn’t want to see that caution,” Beatty said. “Kyle is one of the best out here and he tested me.”
Beatty passed that test. Soper was runner-up, with C.J. Lehmann of Lake Grove third, Dylan Slepian of Dix Hills fourth and Chris Young of Calverton fifth.
