Tim Karrick and Colin Pierce captured front row starting positions for the nightcap 20-lap B-Mod main event.
Karrick took command early on over Ebert in second with Colin Pierce inside the top three through lap five. Yellow flag conditions flew over the field. For the restart, Karrick led Ebert, Pierce, Aaron Marrant, and Brad Smith. Marrant and Terry Schultz had a good battle going soon after as Marrant took fourth by lap eight. At the halfway marker, Stephen Clancy moved inside the top five behind Karrick, Ebert, Marrant, and Shultz. The field was slowed again at lap 13 for the final time as the rest of the race was a nailbiter all the way to the finish. Marrant began to challenge Karrick late in the race with Ebert and Schultz not far behind. Late in the race, the leaders both experienced a heart-skipping moment in turn four, but both recovered and took their battle for the win right to the finish with Karrick taking the victory. Marrant settled for second with Ebert Schultz, Clancy, and Pierce completing the top six.

Dave Meyer and Clayton Campbell, who was making his return to action, took front row starting positions for the 15-lap Super Stock main event. The opening laps featured side-by-side action between Meyer and Campbell through lap seven as James Nighswonger had a bird’s-eye view in third. Meyer eventually pulled ahead with Campbell second through the race’s lone caution on lap 11 when Marc Carter’s car stalled down the hot lane. When racing resumed, it was a four-lap dash to the finish. Campbell went to the high side, as he was earlier in the race and ran to the outside of Meyer just as Nighswonger made it a fantastic three car battle. Nighswonger moved to second inside of two to go but Campbell wasn’t done yet. On lap 14, it was Meyer leading the way with Campbell putting on heavy pressure. Meyer eventually emerged as the winner, narrowly over Campbell. However, during post-race technical inspection, Campbell was disqualified from the finish due to a carburetor infraction. Nighswonger looked good with his best run of the year in second, followed by Devin Irvin, Rodger Detherage, and Cameron Kelly.

Heat 1 - 8 Laps | 00:03:48.158:  1. 98-RIchard Jameson[1]; 2. 89-Logan Headley[3]; 3. 4D-David Doelz[7]; 4. M87-Mallory Stiffler[4]; 5. 13B-Devin Baker[6]; 6. 403-Darrin Christy[5]; 7. (DNS) 25-Tim Billings

Previous feature winner Bobby Russell earned the pole position with Richard Jameson starting second. Russell grabbed the early lead over Jameson and Logan Headley early in the race. Caution for debris flew at lap five and again on lap seven for a slow car exiting the track. After that, racing resumed with Russell in command over Jameson. Spence Reiff moved to fourth at lap eight and to third a lap later trying to close on the field. Jameson and Reiff ran close for third as Tim Billings advanced from thirteenth to the top five by lap 13.  With two laps remaining Billings’ strong run came to an end after he clipped an infield utility tire as he ultimately retired from the event. This set up a green, white, and checkered flag finish with Russell, Logan Headley, and Reiff to sort the race out for the win. Russell led the field back to action with heavy pressure from Headley and Reiff to the finish but managed to hold on for the victory with Headley second, Reiff third, Jameson fourth, and David Doelz fifth.

Terry Smith and Logan Roark earned the front row positions for the 15-lap main event. As he’s done multiple times this year, Roark shot out to the early race lead. Dennison’s hard luck at CMS unfortunately continued as he retired from the race and drew the lone caution of the event at lap four. From here on out, Roark was in control. David Wood drew close a couple times but was unable to mount a challenge. Meanwhile, Devin Wetzel, who started ninth, moved forward with some fantastic moves forward. In the end, Roark collected the victory over Wood, Wetzel, Terry Smith, and Alex Schultz.
