Merle Terry and Wendell Pinckney were on the front row for the Roberts Trucking Super Late Model thirty lap Championship race. It was a made scramble on the first lap with Terry coming out on top. The second time through turn one Pinckney ended up backed into the fence for the first yellow. Terry, Randy Lobb, Ward Schell, Rich Gardner, and Paul Briggs were the top five for the restart. Gardner used the outside to pass Schell on the restart. Chris Freeman had trouble in turn three on lap four for the second caution. John Lobb spun into the infield on the front stretch one lap later for caution three. Terry, Randy Lobb, Gardner, Briggs and Boozel were the top five. Andy Kania passed Boozel for the fifth spot on the restart as Terry led Randy Lobb by seven car lengths. At the half way mark Terry had a ten car length lead and Gardner had just passed Randy Lobb for the runners up spot. With ten laps remaining Gardner was leading Randy Lobb by several car lengths but was still trailing Terry several car lengths. Bruce Hordusky brought out the fourth yellow after spinning to a stop in turn three. Terry and Gardner led the single file restart with eight laps remaining. Gardner whittled Terry’s lead just two car lengths as the white flew but could not get any closer giving Terry his biggest win of the season.

Mike Harmon grabbed the lead on the start of the Spectator event but gave way to Wade Watson just as the yellow flew for a car stopped in turn three. Watson and Josh Lucas were on the front row for the lap three restart. Lucas beat Watson into turn one to lead the lap then the point leader Lester Shoff tangled with Walter Johnson for the second yellow. Lucas held on to the top spot after the restart with Watson second and Bush third. Bush suffered a right rear flat on lap eight putting Johnson into the number three position with Lonnie Waldron fourth. Watson got under Lucas on lap eleven to take control and just one lap later the yellow flew for Chris Couchenour in turn two. Lucas had lost several spots so the top five for the lap thirteen restart were Watson, Wade Slaney, Waldron, Jeff Harvey and Lucas. Slaney went to the front on the restart then the yellow appeared with Watson, Waldron and Rick Thompson involved. Slaney, Harvey and Lester were the leaders as the white flew. Carl Marcy and Mort John spun on the white flag lap setting up a dash for the finish. Slaney held on with Lester grabbing second and Lester Shoff third.

Joe Buccola out paced everyone on the start of the Budweiser Super Sportsman feature quickly building a ten car length lead over the field. Mike Murray slowed to a stop on the back stretch on lap four bringing out the first yellow. Buccola, Bobby Rohrer and John Boardman were the top three for the restart. Rohrer managed to stay with Buccola on the restart. Rohrer lost second Boardman on lap seven then the two touched wheels letting Chad Carlson by for the second spot. Don McGuire and Dan Francis tangled in turn one with ten laps complete for the second yellow. Carlson passed Buccola on the restart and quickly built a ten car length lead over Buccola. Carlson ran the final laps unchallenged for his third win.

Dewey Kinnear led the first lap of the Outlaw Cadet feature with Bob Vogt Jr. second and Andy Knight third. Dave Tackett was fifth followed by Paul Norman and Louis DeDionisio. Andy Knight exploded a tire on the lap eight leaving the front straight littered with debris for the first caution. Tackett took over the third spot with Norman fourth and DeDionisio fifth. Kinnear held on to the lead and DeDionisio passed Norman for fourth on the restart. DeDionisio moved up along side Tackett several times during the final laps of the event but could not make the pass as Kinnear easily won for his first of the season.

Twenty seven E-Mods came to the line for their feature event with Mike Hess and Dustin Eckman on the front row. The first lap quickly came to a stop with several cars stopped in turn one. The second start was more successful as Mike Hess led with Eckman second and Dave Hess Jr. third. Justin Carlson and Mike Boyd completed the top five. Eckman lost two spots to Dave Hess and Carlson then the yellow flew for Ryan Scott in turn one and Eckman was placed back into the second spot. Troy Carr and Chris Sutton became entangled on the restart quickly bringing the yellow back out. Mike Hess stayed in front then two laps later Carlson spun coming out of turn two while battling Dave Hess for the third spot collecting Bill Taylor and bringing out the third yellow flag. Brian Fardink moved into the fourth spot on the restart with Boyd fifth. The race was slowed on lap eight after Eugene Stetson backed into the turn one fence. Several cars at the rear of the field had problems on the restart for the fifth yellow. Mike Hess led the next three laps then Sutton tangled with Carlson coming out of turn two for yellow number six. The top five for the lap eleven restart were Mike and Dave Hess, Eckman, Boyd and Dennis Lunger. Two more laps were complete then Kyle Scott spun collecting Jeff Fellows. Dave Hess Jr. slowed during the restart giving second to Eckman with two laps to go. Lunger also had problems near the end losing several spots as Mike Hess won his fifth.

Austin Fitzgerald led the first lap of the first Super Challenger feature. A lap three incident involving Sam Courson, Greg Rockwell and Casey Swabik brought out the first caution. A spinning car brought out the yellow right after the green then a stopped car foiled the next restart. Fitzgerald nearly lost the lead to Dan McGarvie on the restart then fought back and began to move away from the field. Fitzgerald won going away with Bob Swanson finishing second and Jeff Strickland third.
