8-lap heats were inverted according to IMCA points and took the top three to the A main. Ferriera led the distance and won by a good margin. Rabenberg grabbed fourth from L. Eisenschenk on lap three, but fell one spot short. It wouldn’t be his last charge of the night.
Heat two (started): 1. 3K-Jeremy Kerzman[1]; 2. 1-Amelia Eisenschenk[2] 3. 23-Brandon Bosma[5] / 4. 03-Shayle Bade[6]; 5. 7L-Jesse Lindberg[4]; 6. 80P-Jacob Peterson[7]; 7. 23L-Aydin Lloyd[3]
Kerzman led wire to wire. Bosma moved up nicely into third on the first lap. Bade passed Lindberg for fourth on lap two. Lloyd, who crewed for David Gravel the last couple of years got into the turn four wall and flipped as the checkers were displayed. He was unhurt, but done for the night.
Heat three (started): 1. 81-Jared Jansen[4]; 2. 34DD-Brady Donnohue[6]; 3. 91-Andrew Sullivan[2] / 4. 23V-Michalob Voeltz[3]; 5. 2D-Dusty Ballenger[7]; 6. 17D-Dillon Bickett[5]; 7. 28G-Gracyn Masur[1]
G. Masur spun in turn one when the green fell and restarted at the tail. Jansen led early over Sullivan, Voeltz and Donnohue. Donnohue claimed third from Voeltz on lap four, while D. Ballenger moved into fifth. Donnohue then used the cushion to pass Sullivan for second with two to go.
Heat four (started): 1. 13MJ-Brandon Halverson[6]; 2. 48-Cole Olson[2]; 3. 15V-Cole Vanderheiden[7] / 4. 13G-Gaige Weldon[4]; 5. 28-Nicholas Winter[5]; 6. 35-Jeff Lackey[8]; 7. 62J-Jay Masur[1]; 8. 12L-John Lambertz[3]
Olson led early over Halverson, who jumped to second right away, J. Masur and Lambertz. With a lap in the books, Lambertz was attempting a pass of Masur and hit his left front with his right rear, sending him tumbling in turn two. He was unhurt, but both were done for the night. Halverson sized up Olson and passed him for the lead high in turn four on lap three. Vanderheiden, who won here Sunday, passed Winter for fourth on lap four, and put a slider on Weldon on lap seven to claim the final transfer.
Heat five (started): 1. 17V-Casey Abbas[2]; 2. 6B-Bayley Ballenger[4]; 3. 32-Trefer Waller[6] / 4. 3J-Jeridan Jordahl[3]; 5. 31-Koby Werkmeister[7]; 6. 3-Jeremiah Jordahl[1]; 7. 14-Nick Barger[5]
Abbas led throughout. Jeremiah Jordahl was second early, but B. Ballenger took that spot on lap three. On lap four, Waller followed her into a transfer.
B main one (started): 1. 18-Tyler Rabenberg[1]; 2. 03-Shayle Bade[2]; 3. X-Dylan Waxdahl[6] / 4. 15-Laela Eisenschenk[4]; 5. 23V-Michalob Voeltz[3]; 6. 7L-Jesse Lindberg[5]; 7. 18E-Corbin Erickson[10]; 8. 69-Mike Moore[9]; 9. 80P-Jacob Peterson[7]; 10. 17D-Dillon Bickett[8]; DNS - 23L-Aydin Lloyd
The 8-lapper took the top three to the A main. Rabenberg dominated this one with Bade securing second. L. Eisenschenk held the third and final transfer for six laps. Waxdahl moved by Lindberg for fourth on lap two and L. Eisenschenk with two to go to gain the final ticket to the show.

G. Masur spun and collected Lackey before a lap could get in. Lackey was done. Weldon led wire to wire as the top three did not change.

X-Dylan Waxdahl[20]; 21. 3J-Jeridan Jordahl[21]
The 20-lapper went non-stop. Ferriera led A. Eisenschenk, Kerzman, Carsrud and Abbas early. Abbas moved into fourth on the low side on lap three. Ferriera was into lapped traffic by lap 12. Kerzman used the low groove to get by A. Eisenschenk for second with seven to go. Meanwhile, Rabenberg had moved from row eight up to the top five. Abbas rolled into third on lap 16. Rabenberg’s charge concluded with a pass of Abbas for third. Things got exciting late when Kerzman passed Ferriera on the low side to lead lap 19. Ferriera, a transplanted Californian, roared around the top of one and two on the last lap to take the lead back and gain his first win at Huset’s.
