The 3 of Travis Bliemenester had the pole for the SIMPSON heat race, with Danny Martin in the 24 car on the outside. It was the 24 that made the better start and took the second heat win. Kerry Gilbert in the 55 car had the pole with Robbie Smith in the 6S for the start of the WELD RACING heat race. Robbie Smith took the lead and on the last lap he spun on back stretch and Stephen Darvalics in the 41 passed him and took the heat win.

The Z1 of Harley Zimmerman had the pole for the start of the BOOMTRUX.COM feature race event, with the 24 of Danny Martin alongside. After a parade lap, the race went to green and it was Danny Martin in the 24 car that took the lead never looked backed and took the checkered flag, followed by Mark Ruel Jr. in the 83 car, Stephen Darvalics in the 41 car, A J Maddox in the 3A car and Dan Jones in the 14W car rounding out the top 5.
