With eight laps complete the third yellow appeared for a twin spin in turn one. The restart leaders were Hagberg, Vena, Lyon, Young and Carlson. One lap after the restart the fourth yellow, Wayne Anderson, Dana Wellington and Chuck Hart were involved. Lyon and Vena waged a fierce battle for the second spot for the next three laps then Greg Johnson slowed causing caution five with nine laps remaining. Hagberg continued to run the high line giving Vena and Lyon the bottom but neither could best him. The seventh yellow flew for Brian Fardink, Kyle Scott and Andy Sweetland. Vena nearly jumped the next restart but Hagberg prevailed with six laps to go. Yellow number eight for Rick Loomis and Hart occurred with just three laps remaining. The drivers did not stay in single file for the restart forcing head starter Mark Matthews to throw the green then the yellow. Hagberg could not be passed giving him the first E-Mod feature win on the evening and his first in 2008.

Ryan Seekings led the first circuit of the Spectator feature. Mike Moon quickly moved to second from his sixth starting spot. Twin spins caused the first caution with four laps complete. Twenty-seven of the thirty-two starters remained for the lap five restart. First Gary Fisher slowed in turn two then four cars tangled in turn four including Anthony Marotto and Chad Schauers for the second yellow before another lap could be completed. Moon, Seekings and John Kelsey were the leaders after the restart. Stan Davis Jr. lost the handle collecting Tyler Green for the third yellow with nine laps complete. Kelsey pushed Seekings high on the next circuit allowing Aron Dascomb to take third and Kelsey second. Green had more troubles bringing out the fourth yellow with Brandon Pierce. Moon, Kelsey, Dascomb, Alex Froman and Jermin Strickland were the top five for the restart with three laps remaining. Moon got a little wide in thru four on the restart lap allowing Kelsey the bottom and the lead on the next lap. Davis slowed to a stop in turn one for caution five setting up a two lap dash for the win. Kevin Golden slid into the infield on the restart but the green stayed out. Kelsey survived a white flag charge by Moon for his first win of the year.

Jim Leonard was the early leader then pulled into the pits on the yellow for Ben Reed on lap two. Ben Burgess led for the restart but John Boardman was the first into turn one. Just before the lap ended Reed brought out the second yellow. Hank Francis nosed into the turn two fence for caution three on the next restart. Wade Watson made hard contact with the turn four concrete at the drop of the green for caution four, still with just one lap complete. Lap two was finally completed with Boardman the leader and Dan Nocero second. Kelly Frederes ran third followed by Burgess a distant fourth. The race settled down after the rocky start running several laps under green until a spin by Reed brought out the fifth caution. Boardman and Nocero ran nose to tail until the final lap when Nocero made an unsuccessful attempt to get under Boardman.

Last weeks feature winner Doug Eck along with Dan Maxim brought the Super Late Models out for their feature event. Maxim had problems in the first turn collecting Matt Urban for the first caution before the first lap was complete. The second start worked as Eck led the first circuit. Greg Johnson stopped for the second caution. Eck, Randy Lobb, Bump Hedman, John Lobb and Chris Hackett were the restart leaders. It was three wide for second on the restart with Randy Lobb the winner and brother John third and Hedman fourth. Randy Lobb passed Eck on the next circuit to lead lap five. Hackett, Hedman and Mike Knight touched while contesting the fourth spot bringing out the third caution with eight laps complete. Hackett pulled off with mechanical problems after the restart stopping in the pit entrance for caution four. Randy Lobb remained the race leader after the restart with Eck trailing by five car lengths with ten laps to go. Mike Knight passed John Lob for third on lap fifteen then Eck on lap sixteen just before the yellow flew for Johnson in turn three. Eck rejoined the battle for the lead on the restart and led lap nineteen followed by a spin by Knight in turn one for the sixth caution. Eck slowed on the exit of turn two losing the lead to Randy Lobb on back stretch but regaining it at the finish line. Randy Lobb continued his quest regaining the lead with three laps to go and taking the checkers with three car lengths over Eck.

Twenty-two E-Mods reported to the speedway for the second "Double Nickel" feature. Nate Short was on the pole and led the first lap followed by Shane Crotty. The yellow flew on lap three for Brett Van Guilder. Carl McKinney, Vic Vena and Kyle Scott brought out the second yellow. Al Crocker moved into second after the restart as Short remained on the point. Jason Genco was third with Chris Couchenour fourth and Crotty fifth. Crocker moved under Short on lap six but could not make the pass. The top three began to out distant the remaining cars and had nearly a straight away lead at the half way mark. Mechanical problems caused Chuck Hart to spin for the third yellow and a spin by Dave Lyon on the restart caused the fourth. Short, Crocker, Genco, Couchenour and Justin Carlson were the top five. Carlson was third one lap after the restart. The fifth yellow for Dana Wellington and Scott slowed the race with eight laps remaining. Carlson bested Crocker for the runner up spot on lap fifteen as Short led. With two to go Short led Carlson by three car lengths as they both ran the high groove. The final yellow of the event occurred on the white flag lap. Short, Carlson, Crocker, Genco and the first "Double Nickel" feature winner Tom Hagberg was in the fifth spot. Short just barely held off Carlson at the finish for the win.

Paul Himes led the first lap of the Outlaw Cadet feature, lap two was slowed by an early caution. Himes, Chad Carlson from his eighth starting spot, Chris Ottaway from sixth and Kelly Frederes from tenth were the restart leaders. Carlson led lap two as Himes and Frederes contested the second spot. Frederes was scored in the second spot after lap three just before the second yellow for Steve Moynihan with mechanical problems. Leonard Enos brought out the yellow after the restart with Everett Enos and Brian Crandall spinning after the yellow appeared. Frederes passed Carlson on the restart lap with Troy Dorman third. Dorman slowed on lap six allowing point leader Mike Moore and Paul Norman by. Carlson battled back to take the lead from Frederes at the half way point and Ottaway moved to fifth behind Norman.
