Gage Pulkrabek (29th car out to time) came out almost at the end and laid a low lap around the quarter-mile for quick time at 11.335 seconds. Kerry Madsen (9th car out) was second quick, followed by Brooke Tatnell (8th), Garet Williamson (15th), Christopher Thram (2nd), Brendan Mullen (1st), Jacob Hughes (27th), Tim Estenson (25th), Chase Randall (6th) and Riley Goodno (12th).
Heat one (started): 1. 09-Matt Juhl[1]; 2. 2KS-Chase Randall[2]; 3. 13-Mark Dobmeier[5]; 4. 24T-Christopher Thram[3]; 5. G5-Gage Pulkrabek[4]; 6. 17B-Ryan Bickett[6]; 7. 78-Bill Wagner[7]; DNS - 2K-Kevin Ingle
8-lap heats added points to qualifying points, taking the top 20 to the feature. The low line was the dominant one in the heats, with not much passing. Dobmeier passed Thram for third on the low side on lap three.
Heat two (started): 1. 83-Justin Henderson[1]; 2. 22-Riley Goodno[2]; 3. 11M-Brendan Mullen[3]; 4. 95-Tyler Drueke[7]; 5. 55-Kerry Madsen[4]; 6. 45X-Jace Park[5]; 7. 8X-Micah Slendy[8]; 8. 10X-Trevor Serbus[6]
Serbus slowed with issues in the late going. Drueke had a great start shooting from seventh up to fourth. Park was running fifth, until the restart for Serbus, which gave Madsen the opportunity to get back by into that spot.
Heat 3 (8 Laps): 1. 3-Tim Kaeding[2]; 2. 83JR-Sam Henderson[1]; 3. 16-Brooke Tatnell[4]; 4. 8-Jacob Hughes[3]; 5. 3J-Dusty Zomer[5]; 6. 14H-Scott Winters[6]; 7. 9-Dominic Dobesh[7]

Williamson was the first in any of the heats to make the high side work, snagging third from Estenson on lap two.
B main (started): 1. 95-Tyler Drueke[2]; 2. 17B-Ryan Bickett[1]; 3. 23S-Stuart Snyder[4]; 4. 14H-Scott Winters[3] / 5. 8X-Micah Slendy[6]; 6. 78-Bill Wagner[5]; 7. 22W-Aaron Werner[8]; 8. 2K-Kevin Ingle[9]; 9. 9-Dominic Dobesh[7]; DNS - 10X-Trevor Serbus
The 12-lapper took the top four to the A main. Drueke dominated and the top four separated themselves from the rest early.
A main (started): 1. 23-Garet Williamson[5]; 2. 2KS-Chase Randall[3]; 3. 55-Kerry Madsen[7]; 4. 11M-Brendan Mullen[1]; 5. 3-Tim Kaeding[8]; 6. 24T-Christopher Thram[4]; 7. 22-Riley Goodno[10]; 8. 16-Brooke Tatnell[6]; 9.

Not much action early in the night usually makes for a good feature, and this was. The 25-lapper paid $7,500 to the winner. Mullen led Thram and Randall early. Kaeding went from eighth to fifth by lap two when Carney and Dobmeier brought out the caution. Both restarted at the tail, along with Pake, who changed a tire. On the restart, Park got into the wall, broke a Jacob’s ladder and retired. Mullen led Thram, Randall, Pulkrabek and Kaeding back to green. Randall jumped by Thram for second on the restart, and Kaeding took fourth from Pulkrabek on lap four. Madsen entered the top five on lap five. Mullen was in lapped traffic on lap eight. Randall reeled him in quickly and slid across the leader’s nose in turn two and led lap nine. Madsen took fourth from Kaeding. By lap 15, Williamson was by Kaeding for fourth. On lap 17, he squeaked by Madsen for third, and with five to go, got by Mullen for second. Randall was struggling with lappers a bit, and Williamson looked like he had the fastest car. With two to go, he passed Randall low in turn two to take the win. Madsen got by Mullen to round out the podium. Winters was the hard-charger.
