Kyle Larson (1st car out to time) set quick time on the 3/8-mile oval at 13.011 seconds.  Josh Baughman (8th car out) was second quick, followed by Tucker Klaasmeyer (12th), Dominic Scelzi (4th), Hunter Schuerenberg (3rd), Aaron Reutzel (10th), Cory Eliason (17th), Josh Schneiderman (2nd), Kerry Madsen (22nd) and Cale Thomas (27th).
 
Heat one (started): 1. Eliason 26 (2) 2. Thomas 70 (1) 3. D. Scelzi 41s (3) 4. Larson 57 (4) 5. Skylar Gee 99 (5) 6. Shane Stewart 71 (6) / 7. Tyler Courtney 7BC (7) 8. Greg Wilson w20 (8) 9. Chris Martin 44 (9)
 
A heavy, fast track didn’t lend to much passing in the 8-lap heats.  The top six qualified for the feature and the winner of the heat and the fastest qualifier not winning the heat made the Dash.
 
Heat two (started): 1. Austin McCarl 17A (1) 2. Schneiderman 49 (2) 3. Baughman 17 (4) 4. Schuerenberg 55 (3) 5. Paul McMahan 13 (6) 6. Brian Brown 21 (8) / 7. Trey Starks 44s (7) 8. Paul Nienhiser 9x (9) 9. Zeb Wise 11 (5)
 
Contact between Brown and Wise in turn one sent Wise sideways to a stop.  He was done for the heat.  A. McCarl led the distance, while Brown gained the final transfer from Nienhiser on lap two.
 
Heat three (started): 1. Gio Scelzi 18 (1) 2. Madsen 2m (2) 3. Kasey Kahne 9 (5) 4. Reutzel 87 (3) 5. Klaasmeyer 27 (4) 6. Sam Hafertepe Jr. 15H (7) / 7. Gerard McIntyre Jr. 07 (8) 8. Zach Hampton 35 (6) 9. Austin Archdale 2A (9)
 
Gio led the distance, salvaging a tough qualifying effort to earn a dash spot. 
 
Dash (started): 1. Eliason (2) 2. A. McCarl (1) 3. Klaasmeyer (3) 4. Larson (5) 5. Baughman (4) 6. Schuerenberg (6) 7. D. Scelzi (8) 8. G. Scelzi (7)
 
Eliason led the distance from outside row one in the 6-lapper.  Larson picked up a big spot at the halfway point, grabbing fourth and a second row starting spot from Baughman.
 
A main (started): 1. Larson (4) 2. Eliason (1) 3. Klaasmeyer (3) 4. A. McCarl (2) 5. G. Scelzi (8) 6. Schneiderman (9) 7. Madsen (10) 8. D. Scelzi (7) 9. Kahne (12) 10. Reutzel (13) 11. Schuerenberg (6) 12. Hafertepe (17) 13. McMahan (15) 14. Gee (14) 15. Stewart (16) 16. Baughman (5) 17. Co. urtney (22) 18. Hampton (19) 19. Martin (24) 20. Wise (21) 21. Brown (18) 22. Wilson (23) 23. Starks (20) 24. Thomas (11)
 
Eliason led the 30-lapper early over McCarl, Larson, Klaasmeyer and Schuerenberg.  Starks flipped in turn three on lap three.  He was ok.  Two laps after the restart, G. Scelzi cracked the top five, getting by Schuerenberg.  Wise was all but sideways, and slowed six laps in, bringing another yellow.  It would be the last.  Larson took second from McCarl on the restart.  Eliason entered lapped traffic on the 12th lap, and Larson shot to the cushion to get around the leader on lap 13.  Klaasmeyer shot by McCarl for third on lap 18, and that’s how the podium would finish.  The win was worth $6,000 for Larson and his sixth straight All Stars win.  Schneiderman challenged late for a bid at the top five.  Hafertepe was the hard-charger.

Cody Wehrle won the 305 feature Friday at 34 Raceway (Mark Funderburk Racing Photo) 305’s
 
Heat one (started): 1. Jeff Wilke 41x (1) 2. Daniel Bergquist 9 (3) 3. Noah Samuel 41 (4) 4. Dugan Thye 78 (5) 5. Nathan Murders 71 (6) 6. Dan Keltner 29K (7) 7. Wyatt Wilkerson 29w (2) DNS – Tyler Shoemaker 9T, Kyle Peterson 22P
 
Wilke led the 8-lap distance.  Wilkerson was second when he exited on lap two.
 
Heat two (started): 1. Mason Campbell 11c (3) 2. Andy Huston 40 (2) 3. Cody Wehrle 27 (8) 4. Dave Getchell 83 (1) 5. Damian Getchell 83x (4) 6. Cam Martin 44m (6) 7. Joey Laue 17J (5) 8. Nick Guernsey 7B (7)
 
The initial start was called back.  When cars slowed on the backstretch, Guernsey got over the right rear of Laue, going airborne.  He never got upside down, but landed hard on all fours.  He was ok, but done for the night.  Getchell was penalized to the second row.  Campbell assumed the pole and led wire to wire.  Wehrle came from the tail to third by the second lap.
 
A main (started): 1. Wehrle (9) 2. Huston (3) 3. Keltner (11) 4. Wilke (4) 5. Murders (7) 6. Thye (2) 7. Samuel (8) 8. Laue (14) 9. Martin (12) 10. Bergquist (6) 11. Dave Getchell (1) 12. Campbell (5) 13. Dam. Getchell (10) 14. Shoemaker (15) 15. Wilkerson (13) DNS – Guernsey, Peterson
 
The 20-lapper saw Dave Getchell get the early lead over Bergquist and Huston.  On lap two, Huston, Campbell and Bergquist were three-wide for third.  Campbell got up into Bergquist, who stopped in the pit lane outside turn two.  Campbell and Bergquist restarted at the tail.  Huston shot to the lead on the restart, Wilke moved into third, and Wehrle was up to fourth.  Wilke then moved into second.  Wehrle gained third on lap four, and he shot around Wilke for second on lap five.  Damian Getchell spun seven laps in to bring another yellow.  Huston led Wehrle, Wilke, Thye and Keltner back to green.  Keltner shot up to third on the restart.  Wehrle tracked down Huston on lap 12 and made the winning pass.  He was in lapped traffic on the fifteenth circuit, before Bergquist got into the turn four wall.  Wehrle would lead the rest of the way.
