Steve Dielmann got past new point leader T.C. McElyea on the final lap for runner-up honors with Fred Schenk and Ron Wilson rounding out the top five finishers.
Bill Calder proved the best of the mini stock set as he was another wire to wire victor in front of Eddie Lowery's Toyota in the 20 lap main. Tommy Styer, Shawn Reiss and Larry Johnson were next across the stripe.
David Weaver lead all except the lap that counted, the last one, as Victor Leo copped the 25 lap cyclone feature. Weaver collected second money over Bruce Moerlins, Harvey Freeman and Tony Barreca.
Greg Gorniak scored his second feature win on the season in claiming the 25 lap pure stock victory ahead of Frank Kelliher, Sean Bulaskas, John Bentley and George Morales.
