Tim St. Arnold 7w (6) 8. Jon Agan 4 (8) 9. Natalie Sather 94s (10) 10. John Lambertz 12L (4) 11. Jason Meyers 14 (11)
Passing points were used with the high car count. The top 20 in points qualified for the A. Shaffer led the distance in dominating fashion despite two caution periods. The first came on lap three when Lambertz spun, collecting Meyers, who was trying to squeeze between the 12L and the wall. The impact caused severe damage to Meyers machine and he was done for the night, while Lambertz would return for the B. Two laps later, Sather would spin but no one could touch Shaffer. Dollansky did well to move up four spots and earn an A main start.
Heat two (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Kevin Swindell 1K (1*) 2. Billy Alley 22 (2*) 3. Terry McCarl 24 (9*) 4. Don Droud Jr. 17G (3) 5. John VanDenBerg 7x (7) 6. Chris Walraven 56 (4) 7.

Kaeding quickly took second to trail Pittman to the line. Brown was putting on an incredible show and earned passing honors for the night moving up eight spots. A move on the restart saw him pass Zomer and Jeffrey in one swoop. Herrera exited while in the top five on lap three. Perovich exited on lap four.

Hockett wrestled the lead from I. Madsen on the first lap and pulled away to a dominant win in the family car. Lasoski jumped the initial start and was sent to the rear by Doug Clark. He redeemed himself by storming back to third. Smith also put on a great charge in moving up six spots. Northway exited on lap six.

Moyle led Agan, Wood, S. Allard and Hull back to green flag racing. As Agan took the lead and battled with Moyle, Wood pinned himself on the low side and passed the two leaders to take the point for good. He nailed down the win despite another lap 8 Sather spin.

Droud led flag to flag. Antill stopped on lap 3 of 12 to bring out the only caution. Droud led VanDenBerg, Jeffrey, Logan and Stewart back to the green flag. Stewart was on the move and grabbed third from Logan with two to go and just came short of overtaking VanDenBerg at the line. Agan exited on lap three. Jeffrey exited on lap 6, Gharst did the same on lap 8.
A main (started): 1. Lasoski (1) 2. Pittman (7) 3. S. Swindell (3) 4. Hockett (9) 5. Shaffer (5) 6. Alley (13) 7. Jackson (8) 8. Stewart (23) 9. K. Swindell (4) 10. Brown (12) 11. K. Madsen (20) 12.

Dollansky (18)
Lasoski led the distance in this 20 lapper. Rubber developed quickly, allowing for little passing. By the time J. Allard stopped on the inside of turn one on lap 12, Dollansky and Tatnell had retired. Lasoski led Pittman, S. Swindell, K. Swindell and Hockett back to green flag racing. K. Swindell pulled beside his father on the back chute, but had the door slammed on him. The result was a loss of four spots. Allard made contact with the turn two wall on the white flag lap, but the restart proved nothing as Lasoski pulled away for win #86 at Knoxville. Stewart held hard-charger honors by moving up 15 spots.

Tony Crank 9c (10) 8. Jamie McDonald NZ3 (3) 9. Josh Close 7J (11) 10. Mike Dussel 6 (5) 11. Frankie Heimbaugh 04 (4)
Michael led the distance despite a pair of cautions for Dussel, a victim of the two spin rule. Heimbaugh contacted a competitor at the first try at a green flag, suffered a flat left rear and was forced to the pits. The second restart, on lap five, saw Michael leading Mulheim, Cook, Rager and West. Cook and Rager got together down the backstretch. They kept it going, but lost their spots to Langerud who moved by the pair and West into third. West moved up into fourth in a good run.

Peters ran the high cushion, dusting the field. Crall, joined fellow rookie Selvage in a nice charge. Howland grabbed fifth on the last go-around, but it wasn't enough.

Eldreth was clipped by Branchcomb on the first try at green. The result was an Eldreth spin, which collected Fauver. Eldreth flipped as a result and was done for the night. Hall went high to avoid the melee and made heavy contact with the wall ending his night. Chappell wasted the field and led flag to flag. J. Smith and Ideus had a great battle for second, which J.

Jobe led early before a Jennings spin on lap three. Jobe led Cook, Allison, Branchcomb and Houseman Jr. back to green flag racing. Two laps later, Branchcomb would retire. Winters and Van Dusen put in great runs, but it was not enough to move on in the 8 lapper.
B main (started): 1. Haftertepe (1) 2. Schulz (4) 3. Stewart (11) 4. Ideus (3) / 5. Martens (8) 6. Rager (5) 7. S. Alexander (6) 8. Daggett (9) 9. Jobe (18) 10. J. Martin (17) 11. Ely (2) 12.

Lewis also stopped with mechanical ills before a lap was in the books. Phillips made contact with someone on lap 7 and retired. With there laps to go, the restart saw Hafertepe leading Ideus, Schulz, Martens and a surging Stewart. Stewart would move up two spots, getting by Martens and then Schulz in the final corner to make his way into the A.
A main (started): 1. Martin (1) 2. J. Anderson (3) 3. Langerud (5) 4. Chappell (7) 5. Michael (6) 6. Giannetto (13) 7. Peters (9) 8. Beaver (15) 9. Stewart (23) 10. Maeschen (8) 11. Mitrisin (19) 12.

On the first try at green in the 15 lapper, Higday contacted the right rear of Maeschen. Higday broke his front end and spun in front of the field behind him. The incident collected Mulheim, Beaver, Ideus and Morgan, who also broke his front end. Mulheim and Beaver would be the only ones restarting. J. Anderson worked the bottom to lead the field. On lap six, Selvage spun. Now J. Anderson led R. Martin, Michael, Langerud and Chappell back to green flag racing. Four laps later, R. Martin who was running the cushion, shot around J. Anderson for the lead. J. Anderson passed R. Martin back in lapped traffic on the final circuit, and had the win wrapped up when Selvage spun again. The lead reverted back to R. Martin who held on for Knoxville win #17. Beaver did well to recover from the lap one incident to finish eighth. Stewart was the hard-charger moving up 14 spots. Kearney exited on lap 11.
