Fisher shot out to and early lead in the 8 lapper with plenty of heat from B. Brown.  The two exchanged slidejobs, with the 16 year old Fisher holding the point until the fourth go-around.  The lightning fast surface was aided by rain.  The heat got underway at 10:30 after a couple delays.

Heat two (started): 1. Randy Martin 14 (2) 2. Jesse Giannetto 86 (3) 3. Tim Newman 18 (6) 4. Brad Graham 04 (8) 5. David Brown 48 (7) / 6. Mallory Armfield 5MA (5) 7. Andy Korte 28 (4) DQ – Jeff Wingate 8 (1)

Martin led flag to flag going away.  Korte brought out the caution on lap three when he stopped.  He was done for the night.  Wingate crossed in the final transfer spot, but failed to report to the scales.

Heat three (started): 1. Eric Jobe 23 (2) 2. Jesse Hockett 77 (4) 3. Curtis Boyer 72 (6) 4. Tyler Blank 75 (3) 5. Rob Hartman 7H (8) / 6. Matt Fox 23F (5) 7. Mark Tischer 4m (1) 8. Steve Mahannah 93 (7)

Jobe led the duration in a mostly single-file affair.  Boyer avoided disaster when he got above the cushion in the grease and almost tagged the wall.  He narrowly held off Blank for third.

B main (started): 1. Maycock (1) 2. Hinck (5) 3. Armfield (2) 4. Fox (3) 5. Crank (7) / 6. Wingate (8) 7. Mahannah (6) 8. Tischer (4) DNS – Evans, Korte

Maycock led flag to flag as he and Hinck separated themselves from the pack.  Tischer brought out a lap two caution when he stopped on the backstretch, then went pitside.

A main (started): 1. B. Brown (1) 2. Martin (2) 3. Fisher (4) 4. Hockett (6) 5. Newman (8) 6. Boyer (9) 7. Potter (13) 8. Maycock (16) 9. Hinck (17) 10. F. Brown (7) 11. Giannetto (5) 12. Hartman (15) 13. Jobe (3) 14. Graham (11) 15. Crank (20) 16. D. Brown (14) 17. Fox (19) 18. Armfield (18) 19. Carpenter (10) 20. Blank (12)

B. Brown pulled out to a lead early over Fisher.  Blank pulled off on lap one, and Carpenter did the same the next go-around.  As the leaders entered lapped traffic on lap seven of the 20 lapper, the only caution of the event was brought about when Giannetto, who was running fourth, stopped with a flat left rear.  The restart saw B. Brown leading Fisher, Martin, Hockett and Newman back to green.  After the green fell, Fisher made a bid for the lead and slid in front in turns one and two.  For two laps, Fisher slid in front of B. Brown, only to have the 21 drive back by him on the straights.  B. Brown eventually pulled away for the win.  Hockett and Boyer had a spirited battle for fourth, with Hockett prevailing in the end.  Giannetto recovered by driving to 11th from the rear in the last 13 laps.  Hinck and Maycock were the hard-chargers after coming through the B and getting by eight cars apiece.
