Heat four (started): 1. Bill Balog 17B (1) 2. Danny Dietrich 48 (2) 3. Starks 44 (4) 4. Jody Rosenboom 14J (7) / 5. Chris Martin 44m (6) 6. Justin Peck 70 (5) 7. Brinton Marvel 21 (3) / 8. Johnny Fahl 0 (8)
Balog led early over Dietrich, Starks and Marvel. A slider by Peck on lap two saw Marvel get over the top of turn two and lose several spots. Three laps in, Fahl went over turn three into the weeds. Peck suffered an issue that sent him to the work area at the same time. Rosenboom inherited the fourth and final transfer after starting seventh.
Heat five (started): 1. Kyle Offill 88 (1) 2. Chad Boespflug 2KS (3) 3. Henderson 7 (4) 4. Cole Duncan 22 (2) / 5. Scott Neitzel 2w (7) 6. Jeremy Schultz 5J (5) 7. James Broty 33 (6) / 8. Sean Rayhall 14R (8)
Offill led early over Boespflug and Duncan. Two laps in, Rayhall did a 360 spin, bringing a restart. Things stayed status quo until the last lap, when Henderson motored on the outside of Duncan to take third. Neitzel moved up well, but fell just short of a transfer.
C main (started): 1. Blackhurst (1) 2. Wilson (6) / 3. Rouston (3) 4. Fahl (4) 5. Gilbertson (2) 6. Ingle (7) 7. Custer (5) DNS – Rayhall
The 8-lapper took the top two to the tail of the B. Blackhurst took off ahead of Gilbertson early. Wilson was already third after one lap after starting sixth, and took second from Gilbertson on the second circuit. Custer spun two laps in, and Ingle with three to go. Ingle’s spin negated a pass for the lead by Wilson. Blackhurst was able to pull away, protecting the low line coming out of turn four that was quickly developing.
Dash one (started): 1. Henderson (1) 2. Baughman (3) 3. T. McCarl (2) 4. Balog (5) 5. Offill (6) 6. Phillips (4)
The 4-lapper set up the inside of rows 1-6 in the feature. Baughman shot by the first row at the drop of the green, but Henderson hounded him and passed him by a whisker to end the first lap. He went on to take the win in a good one.
Dash two (started): 1. Reutzel (1) 2. Starks (2) 3. Eliason (4) 4. Wise (3) 5. Zearfoss (5) 6. Juhl (6)
This one set up the outside of rows 1-6 in the feature. The best racing in this one came for the fourth spot. Zearfoss shot by Wise, who got above the cushion a bit in turn four on lap two. A lap later, Wise used the low side of four to gain the spot back coming for the white flag.
B main (started): 1. Schuerenberg (2) 2. Stewart (1) 3. Peck (8) 4. Martin (4) / 5. Neitzel (6) 6. Haase (3) 7. Prochaska (7) 8. Gee (10) 9. Smith (9) 10. Hastings (5) 11. Schultz (11) 12. Wilson (17) 13. Blackhurst (16) 14. Broty (13) 15. Ledger (15) 16. Stevenson (14) 17. Marvel (12)
The 12-lap B took the top four to the back of the feature. Stewart led early over Schuerenberg and Haase, making her first 410 start in the U.S. Martin held down the final transfer until Peck surged by him on the second lap after starting eighth. Lap three saw Ledger bring a caution. Stewart led Schuerenberg, Haase and Peck, who had a pass for third negated back to green. Peck used the bottom of four to gain third on the restart, and Martin made a pass in the same spot on Haase to gain the fourth and final transfer on lap seven. Schuerenberg hit his marks on the low side of four, to get by Stewart for the win with four to go. Peck also challenged Stewart late and passed him briefly, but settled for third.
