The first feature to take to the track was the 25 lap IMCA Stock Cars, with Beau Taylor and John Oliver Jr. drawing the front row for the event. Oliver Jr. took advantage of his front row start to grab the lead on lap 1 over Jim Lynch and Taylor. Lynch tried to work under Oliver Jr. for the next 4 laps, when the first caution appeared on lap 4. Jake Powers would get into the back of Brandon Savage going into turn 1 battling for 5th, which caused Savage to spin and collect Abe Huls to bring out the yellow. On the restart Oliver Jr. was penalized one spot for starting before the firing zone in turn 4, which moved Lynch to the top spot for the following restart. Lynch jumped out front on the next restart, with Oliver Jr. and Taylor close behind. Oliver Jr. used the top of the track in turns 1 and 2 to grab the lead back on lap 6. While Oliver Jr. worked to hold back Lynch, Huls worked his way into the battle after coming from the back from his involvement in the lap 4 caution. But Oliver Jr. would hold off all challenges over the final 19 laps to pick up the win and the $500 top prize. Lynch won the battle for 2nd, Huls was 3rd, Terry Houston came from 7th to finish in 4th, with Powers coming from the back from his involvement in the lap 4 caution to round out the top 5.
Up next was the 18 lap IMCA SportMod feature, with Tanner Klingele and Bradley Holtmeyer leading the field to the green flag. Klingele used his front row starting spot to jump out into the lead on lap 1 over Holtmeyer and Trevor Hagerbaumer. Just as Klingele started to put some distance between himself and the rest of the field, the first caution came out on lap 6. Laine VanZandt would spin in turn 4 and collect Jared Wiemelt to bring out the yellow. On the restart Bobby Anders, who started 7th, slipped under Klingele to grab the top spot, leaving Klingele to battle Holtmeyer for the second spot. Klingele tried to work under Anders over the next 10 laps, when another caution slowed the action. This time Bob Cowman spun in turn 1 to bring out the yellow. Anders once again moved out front on the restart, with Klingele now having to work to hold back Tony Dunker, who started 8th, for second. But just as the field was coming around to take the checkered flag, the caution would come out to set up a two lap overtime dash for the finish. Todd Reed would spin in turn 2 on lap 17 to bring the yellow out. On the restart Anders jumped back out front and then held off Dunker over the final 2 laps to pick up his second win of the weekend, as he won Saturday night at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, IA. Dunker was 2nd, Klingele was 3rd, Holtmeyer was 4th, with Trent Grotz coming home in 5th.
Jason Perry and Denny Woodworth led the field to the green in the 30 lap UMP Late Model feature, with Perry grabbing the lead on lap 1 over Mark Burgtorf and Woodworth. While Perry worked the bottom of the track, Burgtorf would try both the bottom and top to try and get around Perry for the lead. But Perry was able to hold him off until lap 9, when Perry made the right turn into the pits going into turn 3 to end his run up front. Burgtorf would have to get on the brakes to avoid Perry's turn into the pits, which allowed Rickey Frankel to shoot under him to take over the top spot on lap 10. Burgtorf used the top of the track to lead lap 11, with Frankel coming back on the bottom to take the lead back on lap 12. Frankel then held on over the final 18 laps to claim his first win of the season at the track. Woodworth was able to get past Burgtorf late to come home 2nd, Burgtorf was 3rd, Jim Moon came from 9th to finish in 4th, with Justin Reed rounding out the top 5.
David Wietholder and Michael Long made up the front row for the 25 lap UMP Modified feature. Just as the green flag was waved the yellow light would come on, as Seith Woodruff spun in turn 2. The following restart saw Long jump out front on lap 1 over Wietholder and Steven DeLonjay. But just after the completion of lap 1 the yellow light would come on, as Spencer Havermale spun in turn 1 to bring out the caution. Long once again grabbed the lead on the restart, only to be slowed 2 laps later, when Havermale and Woodruff spun in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. Once again Long moved out front on the restart, with Jared Schlipman and Robbie Reed battling for second. The action up front was slowed for the final time on lap 6 when Troy Grotz slowed down the front stretch, which caused Shane Lewis to spin his machine to avoid hitting Grotz to bring out the yellow. Long jumped back out front on the restart, with Reed edging out Schlipman for the second spot. There was nothing slowing Long down on this night as he pulled away to pick up his second win on the weekend, as he picked up a win Friday night at the Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, IL. Schlipman was able to get back around Reed for the 2nd spot, with Reed 3rd, Jake Griffin started 10th and passed 6 cars to finish in 4th, with Russ Coultas coming from 11th to round out the top 5.
The final feature up on the night was the 16 lap IMCA Sport Compacts, with Brandon Lambert and Bryce Baker leading the field to the green flag. But it was third place starter Patrick "Skipp" Dunker who grabbed the lead on lap 1 over Austen Becerra, who started 5th, and Lambert. Dunker then held the lead until lap 3, when Becerra worked under him to take over the top spot. Becerra then had to work to hold back Dunker, until Dunker got under him on lap 12 to grab the lead back. But Becerra was able to use the same move that Dunker used to come back on lap 13 to take the top spot back. Coming out of turn 4 for the checkered flag Dunker tried to get under Becerra, as they made contact and crossed the finish line sideways. Becerra would come out on top to pick up his third win of the weekend and second straight at the track. Dunker settled for 2nd, Baker held on for 3rd, Kimberly Abbott was 4th, with Darin Weisinger Jr. coming home in 5th.
