The first feature to take to the track on the night was the 20 lap UMP Modifieds, with Michael Long and David Wietholder making up the front row. Wietholder would take advantage of his front row starting spot to jump out into the lead on lap 1 over Long and Steven DeLonjay. Wietholder and Long then battled for the lead over the next 8 laps, when the first caution appeared on lap 9. Keith Pratt spun in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Wietholder moved back out front, with Long glued to his back bumper. Long tried to work under Wietholder for the next 3 laps, as the top two started to pull away from the field. Wietholder would bobble in turn 2 on lap 12, which allowed Long to get under him to take over the top spot on lap 13. The action up front was slowed for the second and final time on lap 15, as Pratt spun in turn 4 for his second solo caution to end his night. Long grabbed the lead on the restart, with Wietholder working to hold off DeLonjay for the runner up spot. Long would go on to lead the final 5 laps to pick up the win. Wietholder won the battle for 2nd, DeLonjay was 3rd, Shawn Deering came from 6th to finish in 4th, with Russ Coultas rounding out the top 5.
Up next was the 30 lap POWRi Midget feature, with Michael Pickens and Ryan Chriswell leading the field to the drop of the green flag. Pickens used his front row start to grabbed the lead on lap 1 over Chriswell and Tyler Thomas. The action was slowed for the first time on lap 5, as Garrett Aitken spun in turn 1 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Thomas, who was running 2nd, went over the track in turn 4 to bring the yellow light back on. The following restart saw Pickens jumped back out front, with Brad Mosen and Darren Hagen battling for the runner up spot. One lap later, lap 6, Andy Malpocker spun in turn 4 to bring out the caution. On the restart Mosen tried to work under Pickens for the lead, but ended up clipping the tire in turn 4 and went for a roll to bring out the red. He climbed from his car okay. Pickens jumped back out front on the restart, with Hagen and Tanner Thorsen, who started 12th, glued to his back bumper. Hagen used the bottom of the track in turn 2 to slip past Pickens for the top spot on lap 10, leaving him to battle with teammate Thorsen for second. The fast pace that Hagen was setting allowed him to enter lapped traffic on lap 15. But the second red of the race would bring the field back to his back bumper. Jason McDougal went rolling off turn 3 on lap 17 to bring out the red. He climbed from his car okay. On the restart Hagen moved back out front, with Pickens working to hold off Zach Daum, who started 8th, and Thorsen for second. Disaster would strike Pickens, who was running 2nd, on lap 26, as hard racing with teammate Thorsen sent him for a spin in turn 1 to bring out the yellow. Which was turned into a red when his car caught on fire. Hagen grabbed the lead on the restart and pulled away over the final 4 laps to claim the win. Thorsen settled for 2nd, Daum was 3rd, Andrew Felker started 13th and passed 9 cars to finish in 4th, with Austin Brown finishing in 5th after starting in 9th.
The final feature to take to the track was the 20 lap POWRi Outlaw Micros, with Chris Openshaw and Jason Harmes making up the front row for the event. Openshaw used his front row starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1 over Frank Flud and Harmes. Matt Ponder spun in turn 4 on lap 2 to slow the action down. On the restart Openshaw moved back out front, with Flud and Harmes battling for the second spot. The three car battle out front was a good one, as Openshaw, worked the top of the track, while Flud tried the middle, with Harmes following in Openshaw's tracks up top. Flud was able to slip under Openshaw on lap 14 to grab the top spot away, with the caution coming out just as the lap was scored complete. Kyle Schuett and Jake Galusha collided in turn 4 to bring out the yellow. At the same time Harmes, who was battling for the lead, spun off turn 4. On the restart Jeremy Camp, Aaron Andruskevitch, Scott Sawyer and Tucker Klaasmeyer collided in turn 4 to bring the yellow light back on. The following restart saw Flud jump back out front, with Openshaw and Travis Senter, who started 10th, close behind. Openshaw would try to get back around Flud over the final 6 laps, but Flud would hold him off to pick up his first career POWRi Outlaw Micro feature win. Openshaw settled for 2nd, Senter was 3rd, Trey Marcham was 4th, with Ponder, who started 13th, recovering from his lap 2 spin to come back up to round out the top 5.
