Droud shot out to an early lead in the 20-lapper with Logan in tow. Logan shot by on the low side on lap four to the point. Landis and Alley tangled and brought out a lap seven caution. Logan led Jackson, Brown, Droud Jr. and Zomer back to green flag racing. Logan stretched out his lead, while Zomer worked by Droud and Brown into second. A. McCarl spun on lap 14. Zomer jumped by Logan on the restart to take the lead for good. One more lap was in the books, when A. McCarl lost his left rear tire. Now Zomer led Logan, Jackson, Brown and Madsen. Three laps later, Logan shredded a right rear and collected Droud Jr. while running fifth. Zomer led Jackson, Madsen, T. McCarl and Brown back to green flag racing with three to go. Zomer was never seriously challenged. Madsen worked by Jackson on the last corner for second, while T. McCarl went back by Brown on the last lap for fourth to earn hard-charger honors. The win was worth $3000 and Zomer's third 410 win at Knoxville.

Thompson was black flagged for jumping the initial try at green twice. Anderson took the lead from the pole ealry in the 10-lapper. RJ Johnson stopped on lap three and retired from fifth. By that time, Selvage had moved up to third, and Zoutte was holding down the final transfer from Montgomery. On lap seven, Corbin shot around Anderson for the lead, only to have Anderson return with a slide job on the next lap. Phillips lost a left rear tire on the white flag lap, setting up a shootout that saw Anderson leading Selvage, Corbin, Zoutte and Young. Zoutte retired under the yellow flag conditions, hading the final transfer to Young, who also got by Corbin int he late stages. Selvage drove past Anderson as well to take the win.
A main (started): 1. Agan (6) 2. Garner (5) 3. Cornell (8) 4. Selvage (17) 5. Roberts (4) 6. Mosher (7) 7. Anderson (18) 8. Meyer (9) 9. D. Hall (15) 10. Bakker (10) 11. Young (19) 12.

Three different leaders led the first three laps: Houseman Jr., Padellford and then Agan. On lap four, Moore Jr. jumped the inside berm in turn three while running fifth and drifted into the fourth place car of Houseman Jr. The result was some wild flips and Houseman Jr.'s car engulfed in flames. The safety crew was on the scene quickly, but Houseman was still taken to the hospital. Agan led Padellford, Garner, Roberts and Cornell back to green flag racing. Garner was quickly into second, and the last ten laps saw him on the cushion, with Agan holding the lead on the low side. With three laps to go, it looked as if Garner may get by, but the lapped car of Van Haaften was running in his line. Agan used that advantage to hold off Garner by a half a car length at the checkers, earning his first career feature win at Knoxville. Selvage moved up 13 spots to claim hard-charger honors.

Marty Stephenson took command at the outset until the only caution of the 12-lapper occured on lap three when Clark made heavy contact with the wall. Marty Stephenson led Coleman, Lamb, Matt Stephenson and Maurer back to green flag racing. Two laps later, Lamb took control using the bottom of the raceway. Lamb's control wavered when approaching the lapped car of Tice on lap ten. Marty Stephenson powered around the outside of Lamb for the lead and his first career Knoxville win.
