Top five to feature, top two to dash. Standridge left the rest of the field a half a lap behind. Rossio was knocking on Lynch’s door at the finish line. Deavers executed a last lap pass to get under J. Montgomery on a heavy surface to complete a good run.

Babb led flag to flag in a single file affair. Joey Moughan exited during the fourth circuit, when Gullo brought out a caution for his stoppage in turn two.
Dash (started): 1. Standridge (1) 2. T. Montgomery (2) 3. Babb (3) 4. Hull (5) 5. McCarl (6) 6. Lynch (4)
Great race for the top three positions, though their finish was identical to their start in a dash that decided starting spots in the A main. Lynch dropped back while puking smoke. McCarl stopped on lap two to collect himself after a bad start.
B feature (started): 1. Bruns (5) 2. Samonds (2) 3. Gullo (3) / 4. Sutton (8) 5. Joey Moughan (6) 6. Hurley (4) 7. Branson (1) 8. Buddy (7) DNS - Gharst
Branson spun while running in the top three on lap three, and collected Hurley. Both restarted at the tail. Buddy was the only 410 flip victim of the night on lap seven. The easy tip-over ended his evening. Gullo held down the final transfer over a charging Sutton.
A feature (started): 1. Hull (4) 2. Babb (3) 3. Standridge (1) 4. McCarl (5) 5. T. Montgomery (2) 6. Jim Moughan (9) 7. Rossio (7) 8. Deavers (10) 9. Hawks (15) 10. May (12) 11. J.

T. Montgomery charged out from his front row starting spot and entered lapped traffic on lap five. He weaved his way through lapped traffic, while Hull had moved his way by Standridge and Babb. Lap 12 saw a spin by Bruns, bunching the field. Hull took advantage of T. Montgomery’s trip over the cushion ledge on lap fifteen and also worked his way through traffic. He would go on to grab the checkers. Hawks earned hard-charger honors, moving up six spots.
360s
Heat one (started): 1. Joey Montgomery 21c (3) 2. Matt Rogerson 22 (2) 3. Bobby Mincer 15 (5) 4. Mike Trent 14c (7) 5. Jeff Nehring 9 (8) / 6. Justin Newberry 36 (4) 7. Bart Andrews 78 (6) 8. Tony Daniels 14D (1)
Five to the A, top two to the dash. Daniels dropped back and out on lap five. Great race for the lead on the final lap as race-long leader, Rogerson and J. Montgomery made contact, with J. Montgomery coming home in the top spot on the tacky surface.
Heat two (started): 1. Terry McCarl 24 (6) 2. Randy Martin 14 (1) 3. Jesse Hockett 75 (7) 4. Dustin Whiting 1 (2) 5. Matt Harms 53H (3) / 6. Jim Davies 99 (5) 7. Wayne Sternburgh 86 (4) 8. Matt Sutton 3 (8) DNS - Tim Montgomery 4
Sternburgh elected to start at the rear. McCarl worked on Martin for a couple laps while the two were dicing back and forth. McCarl took exception to Martin taking his line and waved out the left side as he went by Martin. Hockett lived up to his nickname (Rocket) as he slid Whiting in the final corner for third.
Heat three (started): 1. Jerrod Hull 50 (4) 2. Ryan Jamison 51J (2) 3. Eric Schrock 86s (5) 4. Jeff Schulz 2 (6) 5. Kurt Davis 6K (8) / 6. Tyson Hart 5HT (3) 7. Brian Hetrick 35 (1) 8. Kurt Boyer 72 (9) 9. Bobby Hawks 5H (7)
Hawks ended up on the wrong end of a confrontation with the wall on the first circuit. Axle and frame damage ended his night. Boyer exited during the caution, while Davis did the same a lap later. Hull battled with Hetrick before taking the lead from him with three to go. As Jamison was trying the same slide move that Hull made on Hetrick, Hetrick jumped the cushion to avoid him and ended up in a nasty flip. He was done for the night.
Dash (started): 1. McCarl (3) 2. Hull (1) 3. Martin (2) 4. J. Montgomery (5) 5. Rogerson (6) 6. Jamison (4)
Hull led until McCarl slid under him when he stumbled with two laps to go. McCarl would earn the pole position for the feature event.
B main (started): 1. Davies (2) 2. Hart (3) 3. Newberry (1) / 4. Sternburgh (5) 5. Sutton (6) 6. Boyer (8) 7. Daniels (7) 8. Andrews (4) DNS - Hetrick, Hawks, T. Montgomery
Davies ran a great race and got by Newberry using the low side of the raceway. Hart also had a nice battle with Newberry, while Sternburgh’s bid came up just short.
360 Sprint Invaders A (started): 1. McCarl (1) 2. Martin (3) 3. Hull (2) 4. J. Montgomery (4) 5. Jamison (6) 6. Mincer (7) 7. Schulz (12) 8. Trent (10) 9. Nehring (13) 10. Schrock (9) 11. Harms (14) 12. Whiting (11) 13. Newberry (18) 14. Davis (15) 15. Davies (16) 16. Hart (17) 17. Rogerson (5) 18. Hockett (8)
McCarl led the distance with no real heat on him. Hockett was charging on lap five when he made contact with Rogerson, knocking out his front end. Both were done. Another yellow appeared on lap eight, when Hart came to a stop. He too, went pitside. By this time, McCarl had lapped up to eighth place. Spins sent Schulz who was running seventh on lap 20, and Trent who had diced up to fifth by lap 23 to the back to restart. These stoppages gave McCarl an open track to operate with. Martin moved by Hull on the low side late to complete a good run. Hard-charger honors were shared by Schulz and Newberry.
