First feature of the night went to the Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Street Stocks as William Burnside and Mike Wilson won their heats and made up the front row for the feature event. When the green waved it was Wilson taking charge and leading the way for the first eleven laps until William Burnside spun in turn four while battling with his brother Thomas for the third position. On the restart it was Wilson leading the way with Jeff Rodgers and Thomas Burnside your top three. On lap thirteen it was Thomas Burnside spinning out in turn two while running in the third position. With just two laps remaining Wilson went on to win his first feature of the 2013 Season.

Rounding out the top five were Jeff Rodgers, Dennis Wilson, Jr., Buck Woodhouse in the 55R driving by his brother as his car had blown up during the heat races.
