The red flag would fly on the restart for Al Schlafer flipping over the guardrail in turn 3.  On lap 18, Lance Fassbender shot from his third place running position to pass the leader, Ostrowski, to take the field to the checkered flag.  Following Fassbender to the checkers was Danny Schlafer, KenJay Fiedler, Shane Wenninger, and Michael Emme.

Howie Weiss lead the first 10 laps of the25 lap Late Model Feature.  On lap 11, Todd Jensema took over until lap 13 when the caution came out.  After lining up for the restart and being shown the one-to-go sign, Jensema pulled to the infield with mechanical problems and retired to the pits.  That handed Weiss the lead back until the final lap.  Weiss had his hands full with heat winner Craig Scheuffner challenging him for the top spot.  Scheuffner slipped past Weiss on the final lap on the back stretch for the win.  Crossing after Scheuffner and Weiss was Tim Buehler, Charlie Schmidt, Zach Emmons, and Eric Michaels.

Josh McDonald led the Grand National Feature for the first 4 laps.  On lap 5, Mike Bastian passed McDonald to take the top spot.  Meanwhile, Brian Gilles weaved his way from his 9th starting spot to cross behind Bastian.   In hot pursuit of Bastian and Gilles to the line were Brett Wenzel, McDonald, and Bob Peter.

Adam Krepline started the Hobby Stock Feature 8th and by lap 10 found himself leading the pack.  Mike Kaufmann took the lead from the start until Krepline took control.  Chasing Krepline and Kaufmann to the line were Jeff Leonard, Matt McDonald, and Jeff Bender.

Tim Simon started shot gun in the Mighty 4 Feature and found himself controlling the pace after the first circuit.  Simon led the entire caution free race from green to checkers.  Trying to reel Simon in was Amber Rabe, Kyle Resch, Greg West, Chris Gilson, and Michael Strean.
