Buzz Phearsdorf ran away from the field at the start of the Spectator feature. The yellow flew with three laps complete for Mike Moon. Point leader Alex Froman started
eighteenth and was seventh. Froman needed to finish within two spots of second in points John Boyd to claim the 2007 Championship. The green was quickly followed by the second
yellow for a multi-car wreck in turn two. Phearsdorf, Gary Fisher, Brown and Stan Davis were the leaders. The restart was a repeat of the last with the yellow quickly following the
yellow for Phil Regner and Moon nosed into the backstretch wall. Phearsdorf continued to control the event with Fisher five car lengths back when the fourth yellow flew. Seven of
the fifteen laps were complete. The fifth caution occurred before the eighth lap could be completed. Brown was involved in the incident and was towed from the speedway. After two
attempts lap eight was completed with Phearsdorf out front. Aron Dascomb spun with ten laps complete for the sixth caution. Three laps later several cars tangled coming out of turn
two for caution seven. Carl Marcy grabbed second from Fisher on the restart then moved up to the high side on the final lap passing Phearsdorf coming out of turn four for the win.
The yellows continued into the Outlaw Cadet event with Skip Jackson losing the handle before the first lap could be completed. Pole sitter Buck Marrs make slowed with a flat
bringing out the second yellow with two laps complete. Adam Hilyer was the race leader with Paul Himes second and Leonard Enos third. Enos slowed right after the green then Himes
spun in turn four and the yellow flew for the third time. Hilyer, Brian Crandall and Troy Dorman were the leaders for the lap four restart. Hilyer lost several spots on the restart
as Kelly Frederes grabbed the lead with Crandall second. Just as point leader Mike Moore moved into third Crandall did a solo spin but the green stayed out. Frederes, Moore and
Steve Moynihan were the top three. With two laps to go Moore moved up along side Frederes and they completed the last two laps side by side with Frederes coming to the line just
ahead of Moore.
Don McGuire and Jim Leonard were on the front row for the Super Sportsman feature. Rusty Briggs spun on the first lap. The lap was counted with McGuire the race leaders and Ben
Burgess second. Burgess beat the veteran McGuire to take the lead on lap four. Steve Kania pulled into the infield on lap eight retiring from the event. Burgess remained on top
with John Boardman second and Kelly Frederes third as the two to go signal was given. Burgess easily beat Boardman to the finish for his first ever Sportsman feature win.
Nathan Short immediately began to out distance the field as the green flew for E-Mod main event. Dave Lyon was second with Dennis Lunger third. Point leader Greg Johnson passed
Lunger for third on lap three then grabbed second two laps later just before the caution flew for Cale Crocker who spun down the back stretch. Six laps were complete. Short beat
Johnson to turn one on the restart to remain in control Scott Gurdak was third and Tom Hagberg fourth. Gurdak and Johnson were side by side with two to go and stayed that way to
the checkers with Gurdak getting the spot as Short cruised to his third win of the season. Point leader Johnson finished third winning the point title.
A first lap yellow marred the Super Late Model feature event. Ted Kosinski lost a wheel and was towed from the speedway. Greg Johnson led the first circuit then a spin by Mike
Bihler brought out the third yellow. Ryan Scott was scored as the leader with Johnson second and Merle Terry third for the restart. Darrel Bossard sent Johnson to fourth grabbing
third on lap three. Terry passed Scott for the lead on lap four then one lap later Bossard moved him back to third. Randy Lobb caused caution number four with eight laps complete.
Terry, Bossard, Scott, Johnson and Rich Gardner were the top five. A near spin by Scott on lap nine cost him several spots and moved Chad Valone into the top five. Valone charged
by Gardner on lap twelve. Last week’s winner Doug Eck took fifth from Gardner and began to battle Valone for the fourth spot. Bossard beat Terry to the line on lap eighteen to take
