A pair of north-western Missouri drivers captured front row honors for the 20-lap nightcap B-Mod main event. Shadren Turner of St. Joseph and Michael Taylor III of Liberty led the field to green with Turner quickly darting out to the early race lead. Tim Karrick, Rex Harris, and Terry Schultz rounded out the top five through a lap six restart. Turner held the lead at this point ahead of Tim Karrick, Taylor, Schultz, and Colson Kirk. Taylor and Schultz had a close battle for third place several laps until Schultz took the spot at the halfway point of the race. A lap 14 restart grouped the field with Turner, Karrick and Schultz inside the top three. Turner again pulled away from all competitors and went on to capture the victory over Karrick, Schultz, eleventh-starting Brad Smith, and Chad Clancy inside the top five.

Devin Irvin and James Nighswonger began the night’s 20-lap Super Stock main event occupying the front row with Nighswonger edging Irvin in a close side-by-side battle for the opening two laps. Nighswonger eventually emerged at the front of the field over Irvin, Nathan Vaughn, and Ted Welschmeyer. A lap nine restart for debris brought the field close together with Nighswonger leading a fierce battle for second between Vaughn, Welschmeyer, Irvin, Dave Meyer, and Blaine Ewing. Close-quarters racing led to several tense moments on the track with Irvin being forced to retire soon after the restart. Unfortunately, Vaughn and Blaine’s night also ended abruptly after the lead pack got together in the close battles coming off turn two, both drivers had to retire from the event. By lap fourteen Meyer and Nighswonger raced closely for the lead with Meyer moving out front by lap 15. Meyer went on to capture the victory over Nighswonger, in his best finish of the year. Welschmeyer was a consistent runner with a third-place finish while Aaron Poe had the charge of the night, advancing from thirteenth on the grid to fourth. Michael Muskrat and Ethan Lamons completed the top six.

At the halfway marker, Fennewald built up a sizable lead in the fast and furious-paced race.

Reiff settled into second with David Doelz, Larry Drake and Jonathan Evans completing the top five. The leaders broke away from the rest of the field by lap 11 and began encountering lapped traffic soon after. At lap 13, Reiff moved to the inside of Russell and grabbed the lead at lap 14. Yellow-flag conditions flew shortly after at lap 14 with Reiff, Russell, and sixth-starting Donnie Devers inside the top three. After a pair of restarts late in the race kept the field on age, Reiff eventually drove away to claim another CMS victory, this time over sixth-starting Devers. Russell held on for a third-place run ahead of Evans, Larry Drake, and Mallory Stiffler.

The field was restarted again at lap nine after Wood’s car apparently lost power in turn two in front of the field. Upon the restart, Roark was out front with McGinnis, Terry Smith, and eleventh-starting Alex Schultz inside the top four. Roark once again found his way to victory lane, this time ahead of McGinnis, with his best-ever CMS feature finish in second.
