Heat one (started): 1. Kerry Madsen (3) 2. David Gravel (2) 3. Joey Saldana (4) 4. Paul Nienhiser (5) 5. Terry McCarl (1) / 6. Johnny Herrera (8) 7. Chris Martin (6) 8. Dustin Selvage (7) 9. Shawn Peterson (9)
 
Madsen passed McCarl and Gravel on lap one, leading the 8-lap distance. The top five qualified for the A main.
 
Heat two (started): 1. Daryn Pittman (2) 2. Cody Darrah (1) 3. Josh Schneiderman (5) 4. Brian Brown (3) 5. Paul McMahan (4) / 6. Tim Kaeding (6) 7. Logan Schuchart (7) 8. Dakota Hendrickson (8) 9. Tim Moore (9)
 
Pittman took the early lead, with McMahan getting sideways and losing a spot. Moore spun with two laps in the books. The restart saw Pittman leading Darrah, Brown, Schneiderman and McMahan. Fifth running Kaeding spun on the restart, and Hendrickson went over the turn one berm on the next try. That saved Darrah who had spun out of second. It hurt Schneiderman who had passed both Brown and Darrah to get into second. Darrah would keep his spot, and Schneiderman would use his low side experience on the 3/8-mile to move up to third.
 
Heat three (started): 1. Steve Kinser (1) 2. Donny Schatz (3) 3. Kraig Kinser (2) 4. Sammy Swindell (4) 5. Jason Sides (7) / 6. Ian Madsen (5) 7. Cole Wood (6) 8. Ryan Bunton (8)
 
The lead trio gained those spots on the first lap. The race was for the final transfer, with Sides getting as wide as possible to block a faster I. Madsen.
 
Heat four (started): 1. Brad Sweet (3) 2. Wayne Johnson (2) 3. Roger Crockett (1) 4. Brooke Tatnell (5) 5. Billy Balog (4) / 6. Joey Moughan (6) 7. Jacob Allen (7) 8. Ben Wagoner (8)
 
Johnson led Sweet and Crockett on lap one. He continued to lead until Moughan spun with seven laps down. Sweet slid in front of Johnson on the restart to take the win.
 
Dash (started): 1. Kerry Madsen (4) 2. Steve Kinser (1) 3. Sammy Swindell (6) 4. Brad Sweet (3) 5. Billy Balog (5) 6. Paul McMahan (7) 7. Joey Saldana (8) 8. Daryn Pittman (2)
 
After a track redo that paid dividends, Pittman was in control before shucking a driveline on lap four of the 6-lapper. K. Madsen took over from there.
 
B main (started): 1. Ian Madsen (1) 2. Cole Wood (4) 3. Johnny Herrera (9) 4. Dustin Selvage (6) / 5. Logan Schuchart (7) 6. Joey Moughan (5) 7. Chris Martin (2) 8. Jacob Allen (8) 9. Ben Wagoner (12) 10. Dakota Hendrickson (10) 11. Shawn Peterson (11) 12. Tim Moore (13) 13. Tim Kaeding (3) DNS – Ryan Bunton
 
Madsen took the lead early in the 12-lapper ahead of Wood and Kaeding. Kaeding would pull to the infield on lap three while running third. Herrera would grab third from Martin on lap eight, and Selvage would follow him for the final transfer a lap later.
 
A main (started): 1. Donny Schatz (10) 2. Terry McCarl (14) 3. Billy Balog (5) 4. Brian Brown (9) 5. Paul McMahan (6) 6. David Gravel (11) 7. Steve Kinser (2) 8. Cody Darrah (15) 9. Kraig Kinser (12) 10. Sammy Swindell (3) 11. Wayne Johnson (13) 12. Jason Sides (23) 13. Joey Saldana (7) 14. Roger Crockett (16) 15. Johnny Herrera (24) 16. Daryn Pittman (8) 17.

The 30-lapper was led early on by K. Madsen, followed by Swindell and S. Kinser. With two laps in the books, Johnson spun up the track bringing caution. K. Madsen chose the inside line on the restart ahead of Swindell, S. Kinser, Sweet and Saldana. On the restart, Saldana shot by Sweet and S. Kinser for third. Ten laps in, Selvage spun, collecting Wood, who was done. K. Madsen still led ahead of Swindell, Saldana, McMahan and a charging Schatz, who was utilizing the bottom at that point. Saldana and McMahan shot by Swindell for second and third on the restart, while K. Madsen opened up another lead. Two more laps were in, when I. Madsen got over the top of turn two bringing another caution. K. Madsen chose the inside line for the double-file restart again, ahead of Saldana, Schatz who had taken third, McMahan, Swindell and a gaining McCarl. McCarl took over fifth on the restart, and Sweet moved into sixth. On lap 13, Sweet would climb McCarl’s right rear on the backstretch and make heavy contact with the fence going into turn three. The contact tore his car in two, separating motor from machine. He walked out of the wreckage under his own power. K. Madsen led Saldana, Schatz, McMahan, McCarl and Pittman once more back to green. McMahan worked by Schatz and Saldana for second under green. Schatz moved past Saldana into third on lap 16, and then took second from McMahan on lap 20. Before another lap could be completed, Tatnell hit the turn four infield tire and spun to a stop without steering. K. Madsen still led, choosing the inside line ahead of Schatz, McMahan, Saldana, a dueling McCarl and Pittman, and a resurgent Brown with ten laps to go. On lap 21, Schatz shot ahead of K. Madsen for the lead, and with 22 laps in the books contact between Saldana and Pittman sent the latter spinning on the frontstretch. He would restart at the tail. By this time, McCarl had moved into fourth and Brown fifth. McCarl shot by McMahan and K. Madsen into second before Pittman slowed and went to the work area on lap 23. McCarl took a shot at Schatz on the restart but settled into second, while Brown moved by McMahan and K. Madsen for third. Balog followed suit into fourth by lap 25 when K. Madsen spun. The single file restart saw Schatz ahead of McCarl, Brown, Balog and McMahan. While the lead three made their move on the bottom, Balog used the high side of one and two to grab third from Brown, as non-Outlaws finished two, three, four in a great race.

Heat one (started): 1. Josh Schneiderman 2 (4) 2. Andy Huston 40 (7) 3. John Schulz 27 (1) 4. Kade Higday 24 (2) 5. Andy Krieger 58 (5) 6. Corey Kautz 51 (3) 7. Nick Guernsey 7 (6) 8. Roger Krieger 59 (8)
 
Schneiderman shot to the front, ahead of Schulz and Higday early in the 8-lapper. The top four would redraw for the first 12 starting spots in the feature. At the halfway point, Guernsey would spin, bringing out the yellow. Huston had grabbed second at that point using the low side. The race was slowed one more time for a Kautz spin on lap six.
 
Heat two (started): 1. Donnie Steward 73 (5) 2. Jayson Ditsworth 1 (1) 3. Cody Wehrle 40c (3) 4. Blaine Jamison 51J (2) 5. Richard Brod 9B (7) 6. Shawn Whiting 5 (4) 7. Heath Bundy 87 (6) DNS – Dave Getchell 83
 
Brod spun with a lap in the books. Ditsworth led early over Wehrle, Steward and Jamison. Wehrle would spin on lap three bringing yellow. Ditsworth led Steward, Whiting, Bundy and Jamison at that point. A lap later, Steward would grab the lead and stay there the rest of the way as he and Ditsworth dueled side by side. On lap five, contact between Bundy and Whiting would sideline both.
 
Heat three (started): 1. Daniel Bergquist 9 (4) 2. Justin Newberry 36 (6) 3. Jacob Glasgow 59J (1) 4. Dillan Roth 43 (3) 5. Jarrod Schneiderman 14s (7) 6. Kyle Peterson 22P (5) 7. Shane Quam 17 (2)
 
Glasgow led early with Bergquist jumping into second. Schneiderman stopped after getting over the turn two berm with two laps down. Bergquist grabbed the lead from Glasgow on lap four, and Newberry would follow him into second.

Roth led Josh Schneiderman and Steward early in the 20-lapper. Good racing developed for second. Steward took the spot from Schneiderman on lap two, and Schneiderman took it back five laps later. On lap 8, Schneiderman shot by Roth into the lead. A three car tangle involving Guernsey, Bundy and Jamison slowed things with 12 laps to go. Schneiderman led Roth, Steward, Schulz and Newberry back to green. It would prove to be the only stoppage of the race. Schulz grabbed third on the restart, but would exit on lap 18 in a ball of smoke. Jarrod Schneiderman restarted tenth with 12 to go, and surged to third to earn hard-charger honors behind his brother and Roth.
