Wyatt Block set the pace early in the IMCA Modified 20 lap feature. “Mighty” Mike Mullen set up shop on the outside groove. Mullen use the momentum to take the top spot on lap 5. Mullen distanced himself from the field leaving the battle for second between Block and Jayden Schmidt. Mullen had the race in hand but a caution with 5 laps remaining reset the field. Schmidt began to pressure Mullen using the low groove. With 2 laps remaining Schmidt worked past Mullen out of turn 2 but the caution flew, erasing the pass and giving the lead back to Mullen. On the final restart Mullen switched to the low groove and held off Schmidt to earn his 3rd feature win of the season. Schmidt had to settle for second at the pay window, Block was third, Benji LaCrosse took fourth and Cody Schroeder rounded out the top five.
In IMCA Stock Car action it was “Chucky” Clint Forstner jumping from his outside front row starting spot and to the lead. As Forstner paced the field on the cushion, Dan Michonski was the first to challenge but his bid for the win ended with a broken flexplate. After starting 10th on the grid Tyler Wilson stormed through the field and into the runner up spot. Wilson began to chip away at Forstner’s lead. A bobble by Forstner allowed Wilson to sneak by for the lead on lap 17. The caution flew a lap later setting up a 2-lap dash to the checker. Wilson got a great restart as Forstner clipped the front stretch wall, ending his night with a flat. Wilson went on the to score his first win of the season. Dan Sell Jr had his best run of the year to place second, NickBuckarma moved up 11 spots to take third, Larry Karcz was fourth and Jeremy Christians completed the top five.
