Before the green flew Troy Dorman ran to the Leonard Enos collecting Sheets for the third caution. Short won the dash for his third win of the season.

Bob Hazzard started on the outside pole then led the first circuit of the Super Sportsman feature. Pole started Joe Buccola Jr. was second with Rusty Briggs third. Briggs led Buccola by a nose on lap seven for the second spot just before the yellow flew for Kelly Frederes. Briggs used the restart to beat Hazzard out of turn two and became the new race leader.

Boardman passed Hazzard on the final circuits for second.

The green was immediately followed with the yellow when Eicher went from the outside to the inside in front of the entire field collecting a third of the field. Nathan Short, Chris Couchenour and Jamie Erhard left the speedway on the hook. A lap two spin by Eicher brought out the second yellow as Tuner led. Turner, Dave Lyon and Chad Silleman were the restart leaders. The green was once more followed with a yellow as Jeff Walters slowed to a stop in turn three. The yellow followed the green again as Wayne Anderson brought out the yellow. Troy Carr spun to stop on lap three collecting several cars for the fifth yellow with just two laps complete. Nineteen cars remained for the restart which Turner controlled. Dennis Lunger grabbed second from Lyon who was third.

Walters brought out the yellow on the restart and was forced to retire. Scott Gurdak and Gary Sullivan tangled on the next restart for caution number nine. Just past half way one lap later Johnson pulled alongside Turner with Lunger sitting in the wings.
