There were two flights of time trials. Lynton Jeffrey (6th car out to time) set quick time in the first group at 13.043 seconds. He was followed by Kaleb Johnson (1st car out), Christopher Thram (2nd), Ayrton Gennetten (12th) and Matt Juhl (18th). Sye Anderson did not get a time and scratched for the night. Skyler Prochaska (1st car out) set quick time in the second group at 13.501. He was followed by Jack Dover (3rd), Tasker Phillips (5th), Wade Nygaard (7th) and Ryan Timms (13th).
Heat one (started): 1. Juhl 09 (2) 2. Brooke Tatnell 16 (1) 3. Jeffrey 2 (4) 4. Jack Croaker 8 (5) 5. Thram 24T (3) / 6. Dusty Zomer ACE (7) 7. Jody Rosenboom 14 (6) 8. Alex Schriever 0x (9) 9. Andrew Sullivan 91 (8)
8 laps was the distance. The invert was 4, with the top 5 going to the feature. The top eight in points from qualifying and the heats would draw the top four rows of starting spots for the feature. Juhl led the distance and won going away. Thram, in his first ever 410 action, was running fourth on lap three when he pulled a wheelie in turn two and lost a couple spots. He recovered to shut the door on Rosenboom going into one, costing Jody momentum. Thram recovered for a transfer spot.
Heat two (started): 1. Austin McCarl 88 (1) 2. Johnson 22K (4) 3. Justin Henderson 7 (2) 4. Jake Bubak 1x (5) 5. Gennetten 3 (3) / 6. Tim Estenson 14T (6) 7. Elliot Amdahl 51A (7) DNS - Sye Anderson 37
McCarl led wire to wire and won by a good distance. The track was fast and rather narrow at this point. Bubak grabbed fourth from Gennetten on lap two in the only real pass.
Heat three (started): 1. Brendan Mullen 11m (1) 2. Timms 5T (2) 3. Prochaska 35 (4) 4. Phillips 2KS (3) 5. Riley Goodno 22x (6) / 6. Mark Dobmeier 13 (5) 7. James Broty 33 (7) 8. Alan Gilbertson 97 (8) 9. Nick Otto 22 (9)
Mullen led the distance in a mostly single-file affair. Timms did gain on the leader in the late stages.
Heat four (started): 1. Dover 81 (4) 2. Chris Martin 44 (1) 3. Jade Hastings 8H (2) 4. Nick Ranten 55 (6) 5. Nygaard 9N (3) / 6. Nick Omdahl 0 (5) 7. Blake Egeland 26 (8) 8. Zach Omdahl 17 (7)
Dover shot to the lead from outside row two on the first lap. Nygaard spun while running in a transfer spot three laps in. It would end up being disaster for both Omdahl brothers. Zach tried to evade the spinning car and tipped over. He was unhurt, but done. Nick would inherit the final transfer spot and hold it until a last corner pass by Nygaard. He would not be able to take the green in the B.
B main (started): 1. Rosenboom (1) 2. Dobmeier (2) 3. Estenson (4) 4. Amdahl (6) / 5. Zomer (3) 6. Broty (5) 7. Gilbertson (9) 8. Egeland (8) 9. Schriever (7) 10. Sullivan (10) 11. Otto (11) 12. Ingle (13) 13. Z. Omdahl (12) DNS – N. Omdahl, Anderson
12 laps, the top four transferred to the A. Rosenboom led the distance over Dobmeier and Estenson, who challenged several times for second. Amdahl worked on Zomer and passed him for the final transfer on lap three.
A main (started): 1. Timms (8) 2. Johnson (1) 3. Jeffrey (6) 4. Dover (4) 5. Juhl (7) 6. McCarl (9) 7. Prochaska (2) 8. Phillips (5) 9. Henderson (12) 10. Thram (11) 11. Dobmeier (22) 12. Martin (14) 13. Bubak (18) 14. Hastings (13) 15. Estenson (23) 16. Rosenboom (21) 17. Gennetten (15) 18. Nygaard (16) 19. Goodno (20) 20. Amdahl (24) 21. Croaker (17) 22. Tatnell (10) 23. Mullen (3) 24. Ranten (19)
Johnson shot out to an early lead in the 25-lapper ahead of Prochaska and Dover. Mullen was running 7th when he spun bringing caution two laps in. Jeffrey jumped into the top five on the restart. Johnson was in lapped traffic by lap 8. On lap ten, Timms slid Dover in turns one and two, and then Prochaska in three and four to go from fourth to second. Another slider on the lapped car of Croaker came up a bit short and Croaker spun bringing the yellow 11 laps in. Dover passed Prochaska for third on that restart, and Jeffrey did the same to take fourth on lap 15. Gennetten spun with nine to go, bringing the final caution. Johnson led Timms, Dover, Jeffrey and Prochaska back to green. Tatnell was running sixth, but coming to the restart, lost top wing bolts and had to pull in. Juhl shot by Prochaska for fifth. Johnson cruised until getting back into traffic with three to go. Timms reeled him in on lap 24, and put a slider on him in turn two. His win was worth $4,000. Dobmeier was the hard-charger. Timms will win a $10,000 bonus with a win Saturday at Jackson.
