The first feature of the night was the 15 lap Limited Late Models, with Brian Crebo and Matt Murphy leading the field to the drop of the green. Crebo would take advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1 over Murphy and Tommy Duncan. While Crebo hugged the bottom of the speedway, Murphy jumped to the top of the track which paid off with the pass for the lead on lap 3. Murphy continued to work the top while Tommy Duncan worked the bottom to try and get around Murphy for the lead. Duncan would make the pass for the top spot coming off turn 4 to complete lap 11, but a caution would come out before the lap was scored to give the top spot back to Murphy. Carl Feger, Chuck Barnes Jr. and Jeff Cunningham all collided in turn 3 to bring out the first yellow of the event. On the restart Murphy moved back out front, with Duncan and Crebo close behind. But disaster would strike Duncan on lap 11, as he came off turn 4 to get under Murphy for the lead going into turn 1. Duncan would spin the car to bring out the final caution, ending his great battle up front. Murphy again grabbed the lead on the restart, with Joey Markle, who started 6th, moving into second. Markle tried over the final 4 laps to get under Murphy, but Murphy would hold him off to pick up the win. Markle settled for 2nd, Crebo was 3rd, Evan Fink came from 12th to finish in 4th, with Bob Gardner rounding out the top 5.
Up next was the 10 lap Hornet feature, with Jonathon Schuck and Jeremy Kingsly making up the front row for the event. Schuck took advantage of his front row start to jump out into the lead on the drop of the green over Kingsly. Schuck then had to work to fight off Kingsly over the next 7 laps, when Kingsly was able to get under Schuck on lap 8. The two would battle side-by-side over the final 2 laps, with Kingsly getting the edge going into turn 3 on the final lap. Kingsly then held on coming off turn 4 to claim the win. Schuck settled for 2nd, Zac Bollinger was 3rd, Tyler Benson was 4th, with Matt Machey rounding out the top 5.
The final feature of the night was the 25 lap UMP Modified feature, with Billy Tuckwell and Derick Doerr on the front row for the event. Doerr took advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1 over Tuckwell and Kenny Wallace. The action up front was slowed after the completion of lap 1, as there was debris in turn 3 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Tuckwell was able to get under Doerr to take over the top spot on lap 2. But after the completion of lap 2 another caution came out, as Joe Wagner spun in turn 4. The yellow light would come back out on the following restart, as Dale Munson spun in turn 2. Just like the last restart attempt, another caution waved. This time it was Mike Brooks spinning in turn 3 to bring the yellow light back on. Kenny Wallace would jumped to the top of the track to over take Tuckwell on the restart to lead lap 3. Wallace then worked to hold back Tuckwell over the next 7 laps, when another caution came out on lap 10. Chad Evans would spin in turn 4 to bring the yellow light on. On the restart Wallace again moved back out front for the lead, with Tuckwell holding back Kenny Schrader for 3rd. Wallace and Schrader worked the top of the speedway with Tuckwell down low, as the three battled for the lead. But the action was slowed for the final time on lap 13, when Brooks spun in turn 4 for his second solo to end his night. On the restart Wallace again grabbed the lead, with Schrader holding back Tuckwell for 3rd. Wallace, who had worked the top of the speedway most of the night, moved down to the low grove on lap 16. Schrader would take advantage of Wallace's move to the bottom to take over the top spot on lap 17. Schrader then held off Wallace over the final 8 laps to pick up the win. Wallace, who won Tuesday night in Lincoln, Illinois, settled for 2nd, Just Allgaier came from 12th to work his way to 3rd, Tuckwell was 4th, with Gary Cook Jr. coming from 8th to take home a 5th place finish.
