Kay also started in the fourth row, but would have to settle for a second place finish. Waterman held on for third. Terry Neal took fourth followed by Andy Nezworski.
Milo Veloz proved he can still get it done by winning the Eriksen Chevrolet IMCA Modified feature. Jordan Hicks led the first two laps, before Veloz put his car into the lead. In the final laps, Spencer Diercks was gaining on Veloz on the high side of the racetrack. The caution flag came out with two lap remaining, setting up a green, white, checkered. On the restart, Veloz pulled away and secured the win. Diercks, who came out of B-Main #1, finished second. Brandon Durbin, who also came out of a B-Main, was third. Chris Zogg and Ryan Duhme rounded out the top five.
Thirty-four mods were on hand. Heat race wins went to Bryce Garnhart, Matt Werner, Jason Bahrs, and Jordan Hicks. Diercks and Mitch Morris won the B’s.

Halfway through the fifteen lap feature, Chapman glued his car to the bottom to get past race leader Jeremy Gustaf. Once in front, Chapman cruised to the win. Gustaf held on for second with Tyler Soppe taking third. Jarrett Franzen and Shane Paris finished fourth and fifth respectively.
Chapman, Paris, Ryan Reed, and Logan Veloz were heat race winners. B-Mains went to Chance Huston and Brandon Jewell.
The Koehler Electric Street Stocks were a battle of the four cars. Zachary Zuberbier (4z) and Jeff Struck Jr. (4s) dominated the feature race. Zuberbier got to the lead first, taking the point after a lap three restart. Struck gave chase to the leader, but was never in position to pass for the lead. Nick Hixson rallied late to take third, followed by Donnie Louck and Frank Waters.
Joe Lafrenz charged through the field to win the QCjeeps.com Sport Compacts feature. Lafrenz started seventeenth and did not see the lead until the final couple laps.
