The first attempt at green went awry when Hansen did a 360 and kept it going bringing out a yellow. He was given his time spot back. Moore led lap one, before Zomer took command and to the high side of the raceway in the 25 lapper. Meyer was quickly moving through the pack and shot around Zomer who had gone low in lapped traffic on lap 12. Zomer came right back and shot by Meyer to lead lap 13, splitting two lapped cars to extend his advantage. Four laps later, Zomer smacked the front stretch wall, slowed and gave the point back to Meyer. On lap 18, Hansen and Cressman contacted on the front stretch. The leader struck Cressman putting a small puncture in his right rear, but not enough to replace. Hansen retired. The restart saw Meyer leading Zomer, Henderson, Alley, and Moore with seven to go. Meyer shot out again and he and Zomer were approaching lapped traffic again on lap 22, when Garner came up the track, contacted Vanderploeg and sent the 7x flipping down the front stretch. Both were done for the night. Meyer led Zomer, Henderson, Alley and Moore back to green flag racing. Schliemann was sixth and made the most moves in the last three laps, getting by Moore and then Henderson on the last lap to take fourth. Alley and Swenson shared hard-charger honors, finishing nine spots ahead of their starting positions.

Heat one (started): 1. Terry Reilly 69R (3) 2. Doug Martens 51 (2) 3. Cody Hansen 4 (5) 4. Mitch Runge 28 (4) 5. Casey Abbas 17v (6) / 6. Lyle Howey III 55 (7) 7. Justin Jacobsma 10 (8) 8. Daryl Reverts 7 (1)
Eight lap heats transferred the top five to the feature. Reilly shot around the front row and dominated flag to flag. Reverts front wing came dislodged at the halfway point while he was running second. He pulled off with two to go. That allowed Abbas to grab the final transfer, which he earned after passing Howey on the last lap.
Heat two (started): 1. Shawn Van Wyhe 99 (2) 2. Jesse Drost 27 (3) 3. Dusty Ballenger 2D (5) 4. Brandon Rokusek 42w (1) 5. Brent Vonk 21v (6) / 6. Troy Vink 77 (4) 7. Kevin Engle 2 (8) 8. John Kaiser 21x (7)
Van Wyhe led flag to flag. Ballenger looked storng on the high side in moving up. Vonk passed Vink on the final lap for the final transfer to the A.
Heat three (started): 1. Jordan Martens 13 (1) 2. Butch Hanssen 8K (3) 3. Micah Schliemann 9 (5) 4. Randy Droescher 24 (4) 5. Jody Rosenboom 6 (6) / 6. Kevin Flowers 42 (2) 7. Ryan Bickett 17B (7) 8. Brad Nelson 47 (8)
J. Martens led throughout and appeared to have the win, when his top wing collapsed on him in turn four coming to the checkers. He stayed on the gas and held on over Hanssen, despite clipping the inside guardrail. The best race on the track was for the final transfer with Rosenboom getting by Flowers.
B main (started): 1. Howey (1) 2. Bickett (6) 3. Jacobsma (4) / 4. Vink (2) 5. Flowers (3) 6. Nelson (8) 7. Engle (5) 8. Kaiser (7) 9. Reverts (9)
Howey led throughout and won by nearly half a lap. Engle brought out the only caution with a lap two spin. Bickett moved up nicely winning a battle with Jacobsma for second with two to go.

Rokusek took the early lead with J. Martens in tow in the 18 lapper. J. Martens made a pass for the point on lap three and despite late contact with the wall, the 17 year old held on to his first career Husets win over a persistent Ballenger who patiently worked around Reilly for second, earning hard-charger honors. Drost made heavy contact with the wall on lap four and was done for the night. D. Martens was running third on lap seven when he retired. Spins on lap two and then lap eight sidelined Jacobsma.
