The first feature to take to the track was the 18 lap IMCA Stock Cars, with Abe Huls and Jerry Jansen drawing the front row for the event. Huls would take advantage of his front row start to grab the lead on lap 1 over Jim Lynch. Huls and Lynch then pulled away from the field, leaving Jansen, Brandon Savage, Jake Powers and Nathan Hayes to battle for the third spot. Lynch tried the low side of one and two to get around Huls over the final 5 laps, but Huls would hold him off to pick up the win. Lynch settled for 2nd, Jansen won the battle for 3rd, Powers was 4th, with Savage coming home in 5th.
Up next was the 40 lap ALMS Late Model feature, with Jason Perry and Ryan Unzicker leading the field to the green flag. Unzicker jumped out front on lap 1 over Perry and Bobby Pierce, and then held it until the first and only caution of the event appeared on lap 8. Jamie Wilson slipped over the track in turns three and four to bring out the yellow. On the restart Unzicker moved back out front, but now had Pierce glued to his back bumper. Unzicker, who was using the middle to top of the track, and Pierce, who was on the bottom, ran laps 13, 14 and 15 side-by-side with Unzicker holding the top spot at the line each lap. But Pierce wouldn't give up as he got up beside Unzicker for laps 25 and 26, before finally grabbing the lead on lap 27. Pierce started to pull away from the field until he crossed the line on lap 32, when he made the left turn into the infield without power. This would hand the lead over to Unzicker, who led the final 8 laps to claim the win and the $2,000 top prize. Kevin Weaver came from 6th to finish in 2nd, Jason Riggs was 3rd, Denny Woodworth started 7th and finished 4th, with Mark Burgtorf coming from 10th to round out the top 5.
Trevor Hagerbaumer and Joey Gower drew the front row for the 18 lap IMCA SportMod feature, with Gower grabbing the lead on lap 1 over Bradley Holtmeyer and Tony Dunker, who started 5th. Gower then held the top spot until lap 4 when the first caution of the event appeared, as Brandon Lennox got into the wall down the front stretch to bring out the yellow. On the restart Dunker slipped under Gower to grab the lead, leaving Gower to work to hold back Bobby Anders, who started 7th. Gower, who was using the top of the track, was able to get up beside Dunker on lap 6 and just as he took over the lead on lap 7 the caution would come out giving the lead back to Dunker. Jon Lear would spin in turn 3 to bring out the yellow. Dunker once again grabbed the lead on the restart, with Gower close behind. One lap later, on lap 7, the yellow light would come back on. This time Anders, who was running 3rd, spun in turn 2 and collected fourth place runner Holtmeyer to bring the caution light back on. On the restart Jeff DeLonjay would spin in turn 4 to bring the yellow back out. The following restart saw Gower jump up top of Dunker to take the lead away. Gower then pulled away over the final 11 laps to pick up the win. Dunker was 2nd, Anders recovered from his lap 7 spin to come back to finish in 3rd, Aaron Brocksieck, as past Stock Car track champion, returned to finish his first SportMod feature in 4th after starting in 6th, with Charles VanZandt coming from 14th to round out the top 5.
Michael Long and Jacob Poel led the field to the green in the 25 lap UMP Modified feature, with Long grabbing the lead on lap 1 over Poel and David Wietholder. The first of four cautions would come out after the completion of lap 1, as Shawn Deering, Nick O'Dell and Dylan Hoover collided in turn 3 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Long jumped back out front, with Wietholder over taking Poel for the runner up spot. Just as the top three cars started battling for the top spot, the second caution of the event appeared on lap 9. This time Hoover and Steve Grotz tangle in turn 2 to bring the yellow out. Long once again grabbed the lead on the restart and then held it until lap 11, when Poel used the top of the track to over take him for the lead. Poel then had to work to hold back Long, even through lapped traffic, when they were slowed for the third time on lap 20. The lapped car of Spencer Havermale would spin in turn 4 and collect third place runner Wietholder to bring the yellow light on. On the restart Poel moved back out front, with Long close behind. The action up front was slowed for the fourth and final time on lap 23, as Jared Schlipman spun in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. Poel grabbed the lead on the restart and then held off Long over the final 2 laps to claim the win. Long was 2nd, Steven DeLonjay was 3rd, Robbie Reed was 4th, with Shane Lewis rounding out the top 5.
The final feature up on the night was the 15 lap IMCA Sport Compacts, with Austen Becerra and Kimberly Abbott drawing the front row for the event. Just as the green flag was waved the caution light would come on, as Bryce Baker spun in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Becerra jumped out front to lead lap 1 over Abbott and Patrick "Skipp" Dunker. Dunker who was challenging Becerra for the top spot suddenly slowed on lap 10 and fell back to 5th before getting going again. This would allow Becerra to pull away to pick up the win. Abbott was 2nd, Mike Hornung Jr. was 3rd, Dunker was able to finish in 4th, with Baker recovering from his opening lap spin to come back to finish in 5th.
