Bruns brought out a caution on lap five with a spin. He exited a lap later. Jamison grabbed the last transfer using the high side of the track, as he nipped Bell at the checkered flag on the dry quarter mile surface.
Heat two (started): 1. Bobby Hawks 83 (1) 2. Matt Rogerson 45 (2) 3. Terry Babb 2s (8) / 4. Paul Patterson 87 (6) 5. Ryan Bunton 66 (9) 6. Babes Rowland 24 (5) 7. Korey Weyant 4c (7) 8. Chris Couch 36 (10) 9. Roger Branson Jr. 3 (4) 10. Lance Gullo 223 (3)
Hawks left the field in the dust as he worked the high side. Gullo went pitside on lap eight. Good racing back in the pack between Rowland, Bunton and Weyant. Babb did a nice job of moving up into a transfer spot.
Heat three (started): 1. Jerrod Hull 12H (6) 2. Mike Deavers 72 (4) 3. Joey Montgomery 32x (2) / 4. Jim Moughan 1m (5) 5. Robbie Standridge 22 (8) 6. Tim Montgomery 32 (7) 7. Derek Rossio 70 (3) 8. Jimmy Hurley 35 (1)
This heat contained most of the heavy hitters, and Hull proved he came to win by taking the lead with two to go from Deavers on a track not conducive to much passing.
Heat four (started): 1. Brad Martin 21s (4) 2. Jeff Schulz 50x (3) 3. Khaley Gharst 44G (2) / 4. Jaymie Moyle 10 (8) 5. Brian Hetrick 35 (5) 6. Terry Holderfield 11H (1) 7. Lynton Jeffrey 4K (6) 8. Larry Ball Jr. 5J (7) 9. Chris Smith 23 (9)
Holderfield and Gharst both spun on two attempts to start the race. After being given their spot back, Martin bursted to the front. Ball spun after a lap was complete to bring out a caution. He restarted at the tail. Schulz claimed second in the last corner, and Moyle claimed fourth on the last circuit as well.
Dash (started): 1. Hull (1) 2. Deavers (2) 3. Schulz (3) 4. Martin (4) 5. Rogerson (6) 6. Lynch (7) 7. Hawks (5) 8. Cannell (8)
Hull dominated, while Hawks struggled. Hawks spun on lap five and couldn’t gain much ground after that. Cannell stopped on the track and exited on lap eight.

Moyle was gone in a race that saw single file racing. Standridge came up just short of Moughan and all but surrendered the track championship to him.

Hull dominated on a surface that took rubber early. Cannell dumped his sprinter after contact with Jamison on lap two. Patterson exited on lap three. J. Montgomery also went pitside early. Rowland flipped in the same spot he did two years ago on Friday the 13th, the backstretch. Bunton left on lap 18, before a caution for a spun Hawks, who followed him to the pits. Moughan earned hard-charger honors from Timber Wolf by moving up twelve spots.

A first lap incident involved McDuffey, Weyant and Gass. McDuffey suffered enough damage to retire for the night. Parga exited with motor problems he would battle all night. Fiscus led most of a race that saw a good charge from Branson.
Heat two (started): 1. Mike Hess 51 (1) 2. Rich Camfield 87 (6) 3. Tim Siner 15 (2) 4. Aaron Fiscus 7x (4) / 5. Joey Montgomery 5o (5) 6. Matt Riemenschneider 17x (8) 7. Donnie Lehman 31 (3) 8. AJ Fike 69 (7) DNS – Adam Houser 2x, Jim Anderson 36, Kevin Olson 7
Hess dominated a heat that saw good racing between R. Camfield and Siner. R. Camfield won the battle for second in the last corner. Lehman was in a transfer spot when he spun on the white flag lap and surrendered his position. Fike exited on lap three.
Heat three (started): 1. Brandon Waelti 3 (1) 2. Greg Lueckert 01 (2) 3. Craig Carey 30 (3) 4. Jeff Flescher 72 (7) / 5. Jay Drake 71 (5) 6. Steve Stroud 21 (9) 7. Kyle Wissmiller 73 (8) 8. Dave Camfield Jr. 86 (4) 9. Dave Camfield Sr. 94 (6) DNS – John Winstrup 34, Ryan Durst 151
Waelti led flag to flag. Drake was running a strong third when he spun on lap five. He recovered for fifth, but needed at least one more lap to gain a transfer from Flescher.
Heat four (started): 1. Davey Ray 2 (1) 2. Steve Knepper 55 (2) 3. Critter Malone 7c (6) 4. Don Droud Jr. 4x (4) / 5. Cody Wiesensel 20 (5) 6. Kenny Brown 17 (8) 7. Mike Cox 46 (7) 8. Jim Siner 5 (9) 9. Lee Beckwith 3x (10) 10. Ken Dull 56 (3) 11. David Gough 82 (11) DNS – Kevin Arnold 43
Ray outdueled Knepper for the front and led the distance. Malone and Droud also ran solid races in a stout heat. Gough flipped hard on lap seven, but was uninjured. Malone came just short of Knepper at the stripe after a nice race for the second spot.
B main one (started): 1. Lehman (4) 2. Fike (6) / 3. Doty (8) 4. Weyant (7) 5. Jackson (5) 6. Gass (1) 7. Callahan (3) 8. Riemenschneider (2) DNS – Parga, McDuffey, J. Montgomery, Houser, Anderson, Olson
Riemenschneider hit the wall on the white flag lap and retired. Doty came oh so close in getting by Fike on the last lap, but contact between the two thwarted that.
B main two (started): 1. Drake (1) 2. Cox (6) / 3. Durst (7) 4. Weisensel (2) 5. Arnold (11) 6. D. Camfield Jr. (13) 7. Brown (4) 8. Stroud (3) 9. J. Siner (8) 10. Beckwith (10) 11. Dull (12) 12. Winstrup (9) 13. Wissmiller (5)
Wissmiller flipped on the initial circuit and was done for the night. Winstrup exited on lap three, a lap before a spin by Brown. J. Siner spun on lap six bringing out another caution. Drake led flag to flag, while Cox worked his way steadily into second.
A main (started): 1. Malone (12) 2. Knepper (6) 3. Hess (7) 4. A. Fiscus (14) 5. Drake (18) 6. R. Camfield (3) 7. Carey (11) 8. R. Fiscus (2) 9. Branson (4) 10. Lueckert (5) 11. Calvert (9) 12. Heiss (13) 13. Ray (1) 14. T. Siner (10) 15. Cox (20) 16. Flescher (15)……19. Droud (16) 20. Waelti (8)
R. Camfield and Ray got together vying for the lead on lap one. The result was Ray getting upside down, as well as Lehman. Ironically, they both restarted, but Waelti who was caught up in the mess, had to go pitside with front end damage. Luckert spun on lap two bringing out one of the few yellows in this event. Hess led much of the race. The man on the move was Droud who was blasting through the field. He was running third on lap 18 when he came to a rest in turn three and retired. Malone was in command after passing Knepper and Hess on the restart and blasted away from the field. Ray and T. Siner were spin victims coming to the checkered, hurting their finishing standing. Drake was the hard charger, getting by 13 cars into a top five finish.
