Patrick and Nottestad lined up side by side on the restart. Nottestad would gain the advantage and drive on for the victory. Patrick held on for second. Michael Grueneberg, Michael Guderski, and Jason Erickson rounded out the top five.

Kyle Smith shot out to the early lead in the second 40 lap Late Model Feature. Guralski quickly found his way around Smith, with Erickson, Grueneberg, and Nottestad following Guralski’s line. Guralski was pulling away while Erickson, Grueneberg, and Nottestad mixed it up for the runner up spot. A caution would tighten the field with ten laps to go. Nottestad took advantage of the late restart and went two for two on Feature wins for the night. He was followed by Grueneberg, Erickson, Guralski, and Seth Reamer.
