Late Model:

A major crunch occurred as the Feature was beginning. This involved Bill LaFollette, Chris Rodabaugh, Zackery Simmons and a number of other cars trying to avoid them. This brought out the red flag and after getting them untangled they were all towed to the pits. Since this occurred before a lap had been completed an original lineup restart was called. This time Dustin Beisley spin collecting Doug Chrisenbery and another original lineup restart was called. Bill Humble, Jr. got the lead at the start with Jack Simmons all over his back bumper. Jack tried high and low all through the race but couldn't make the pass to take the lead. This was Humble's second win of the season which moved him into second place in the points standings.

Modified:

Jim Body got the lead at the start of the Feature. A yellow flew as Cody Elnicki went spinning and this closed the field behind Body for the restart. Jon Sheets and Scotty Bough went spinning collecting Lucas Dobbs.

Body led the field to the green, which didn't last long, as Bobbie Parish went spinning. Just as the white flag was about to fly, Bough went spinning and this caused another caution period. Body again led the field to the green flag and collected the win, his first of the season and his very first ever feature win.

Street Stock:

At the start of the Feature Kenny Shaw, Dustin Wyland and Zach Marsh raced side by side before Marsh was able to claim the lead. Clifford Leam got spun which brought out the yellow flag and an original lineup restart was called.

This time Shaw got the lead. Wyland and Kesha Danner got together causing both the spin and a yellow flag. Another yellow flew as Leam and Mark Selsor goth together. Shaw led the field to the green where Marsh tried the high side of the track which allowed Eddie Fox to grab the lower lane as both tried to capture the lead.

Another yellow flew as Wyland went spinning, ending in the infield and his car caught on fire. The officials quickly raced to the car and extinguished the flames. Shaw once again was placed in the lead and battled all the was with Marsh and Fox. Shaw claimed the win, his first of the season.

Factory Stock:

Mark Godsey got the lead at the start of the Feature. Eddie Coulter, Jr. went into the tire bringing out the yellow and an original lineup restart was called.

This time, Karl Lehmann got the lead which didn't last long as Jesson came flying up to claim the lead and pulled away from the balance of the field. Jason Batchelor, Mike Robinson and Norman Mackley got together but all of them kept going, even though Robinson went into the air.

Jesson had caught up with the back of the field just in time for Tim Button to spin out right in front of him and the yellow flag flew. Joey Thornburg spun, bringing out another yellow flag and once again Jesson led the field to the green flag. Jesson claimed the win, his first of the season.

Mini-Stock:

Pat Cox jumped into the lead at the start of the Feature. Jerry Wilson scraped the wall and kept on going as Cox gained a short lead on the field. A red flag flew as Wilson and Josh McKay got bunpers hooked together. This closed the field behind Cox for the restart.

Another yellow flag flew as Brice Elnicki got turned around and collected Andrew Johnson, Robert Somers, Jr and Terry Hallam. Once again Cox led to field to the green flag. After the restart Wilson, McKay and Somers went three wide around the turn with Wilson gaining the advantage. At the finish line Cox claimed the win and Mike Baxter and Dakota Singmaster crossed together. This was Cox's second win of the season.
