The first feature up on the night was the 15 lap IMCA Stock Cars, with Jim Powell and Troy Brierton on the front row. But it was fourth place starter Darin Lambert who grabbed the lead on lap 1 over Terry Houston, who started 7th, and Jerry Jansen. Just as the action up front started to heat up the first caution appeared on lap 3. Powell would spin his machine in turn 3 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Houston slipped under Lambert to take over the top spot on lap 4, with Abe Huls, who started 9th, following him into second. But after the completion of the lap, another caution was waved. This time Brierton would spin in turn 4 to bring the yellow light on. Houston jumped out front on the restart, with Huls close to his back bumper. Huls, who was using the top of the track, would edge out Houston at the line on lap 7 to grab the top spot. But Houston would come back on the bottom the following lap, lap 8, to take the lead back. A lead he would hold until lap 10, when Brandon Savage slipped under him to take the lead. The final caution of the event would appear on lap 11, when Jeremy Buss spun in turn 4. Savage moved back out on the restart and then held on for the final 4 laps to pick up the win. Houston held on for 2nd, Huls was 3rd, Lambert was 4th, with Jake Powers coming home in 5th.
Up next was the 25 lap UMP Modified feature, with Dave Wietholder and Shawn Deering leading the field to the green flag. Wietholder would take advantage of his front row start to grab the lead on lap 1 over Steven DeLonjay and Deering. Wietholder would defend off DeLonjay's challenges until they started entering lapped traffic around the half way point of the event. DeLonjay slipped under Wietholder on lap 15 to take over the top spot and then started to pull away from the field. But his pace would be slowed on lap 18, when he entered into some heavy lapped traffic. Wietholder was able to pull up to DeLonjay's back bumper. But DeLonjay would hold on over the final 7 laps to claim his 10 win of the season at the track. Wietholder settled for 2nd, Deering was 3rd, Chris Spalding was 4th, with Justin Reed rounding out the top 5.
Bobby Pierce and Brandon Sheppard led the field to the green in the 40 lap ALMS Late Model feature, with Pierce grabbing the lead on lap 1. Pierce and Sheppard set a fast pace up front, until the first and only caution of the event appeared on lap 9. Jared Schlipman went for a spin in turn 4, after contact from Brandon Thirlby, to bring out the yellow. On the restart Pierce jumped back out front, with Sheppard close behind in second. Sheppard, who was running the top of the track, tried to stay close to Pierce, who was using the bottom of the speedway. But when he drifted to high in turns 3 & 4 on lap 21 and almost went off the track, that was all Pierce needed to pull away to claim the win and the $2,000 check. Sheppard was 2nd, Jason Perry was 3rd, Denny Woodworth was 4th, with Rickey Frankel finishing in 5th.
Up next was the 20 lap IMCA SportMod feature, with Cody Henderson and Jon Lear making up the front row, after Taylor Lear elected to start on the tail. Third place starter Nathan Anders grabbed the lead on lap 1 over Chandler Owens, who started 6th, and Henderson. Anders then held the lead until lap 2, when he spun in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. Tanner Klingele, who started 8th, inherited the lead for the restart, with Owens and Tony Dunker, who started 9th, battling it out for second. The three way battle came to a stop on lap 8, as Anders spun in turn 2 after contact from Jon Lear to bring out the yellow. On the restart Owens got together with Dunker coming off turn 4, with Dunker spinning to bring the yellow light back on. The following restart saw Rob Bowen come to a stop in turn 2 to bring the caution back out. Klingele moved out front on the next attempt of a restart, with Bradley Holtmeyer, who started 11th, close behind in second. While Klingele pulled away from the field, Dunker was working his way back to the front. Dunker made the pass into 2nd on lap 11 and then went to work onto cutting into Klingele's straightaway lead. The help that Dunker was looking for came on lap 15, when Bob Cowman spun in turn 2 to bring the caution out. Klingele once again grabbed the lead on the restart, with Dunker now glued to his back bumper. But another caution on lap 16 slowed the action, as Charles VanZandt, who was running 4th, spun in turn 4 and collected the car of Owens. On the restart Dunker would slip under Klingele to take over the top spot on lap 17, only to be slowed for the final time after the completion of that lap. This time Henderson spun off turn 4 to bring out the final caution of the event. Dunker jumped out front on the restart and then held on over the final 3 laps to pick up his eighth win of the season at the track. Klingele settled for 2nd, Holtmeyer was 3rd, Trevor Hagerbaumer came from 7th to finish in 4th, with VanZandt recovering from his lap 16 spin to come back up to finish in 5th.
The final feature up on the night was the 12 lap IMCA Sport Compacts, with Jeffery DeLonjay and Brandon Lambert leading the field to the green. Lambert would take advantage of his front row start to grab the lead on lap 1 over Austen Becerra, who started 8th, and Laine VanZandt. The action up front was slowed for the first and only time on lap 2, as DeLonjay lost a right front tire in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Becerra slipped under Lambert to take over the top spot on lap 3. Becerra then had to work to hold back VanZandt, as VanZandt used the middle of the track to get up beside Becerra with 2 laps to go. But Becerra was able to slid up in front of him each lap coming off turn 4 to hold on for the win. VanZandt settled for 2nd, Kimberly Abbott was 3rd, Skipp Dunker was 4th, with Alex Baker coming home in 5th.
