Adams, looking for his second victory of the season at Selinsgrove, overtook Davis on the 10th lap, but a flat tire knocked him out of the lead.
Track points leader and hometown driver Jim Yoder inherited the lead for the lap-11 restart with the fourth-starting Haus in pursuit. Yoder and Haus dueled for several laps before Haus made the winning pass using the outside lane in turn four on the 18th lap.
Over the final five laps, a rebounding Adams stormed toward the front, reaching the second position on the final lap. But Adams fell .46 of a second short of catching Haus, while Yoder, Steve Campbell and Mike Walls rounded out the top five.
