When the green fell Winters made contact with someone, spun and broke his front end. Kertscher led the 10 lapper early once under green. Henderson surged to second before a lap four caution for a stopped Biertzer who was running third. His night would be done. T. Sernett exited on lap nine. Kertscher went on to hold off Henderson.

S. Uttech exited early. Jeffrey took the early lead, but Dobmeier was too much to handle and took the point for good on lap three. On lap four, Meyer hit a large rut that had developed in turn one, broke and wheel and flipped hard while running fifth. He was uninjured, but done for the night. The restart saw Dobmeier leading Jeffrey, Whitney, Johnson and Mock. When Jeffrey stumbled when the green fell, Johnson took advantage looping both he and Whitney and taking over second. Mock made a brief challenge for the final transfer, but came up short.

Bakker led flag to flag in his second race with the 1H team. Olson spun to the infield on lap five. A lap later, Modjeski spun while running fifth, collecting Richert and Burke who both retired. Reinke and Neitzel put on the best battle for position with Reinke holding onto third. Geldner was subbing for John Sernett, who is still ailing from a broken wrist.

Toews led early, but Blonde hunted him down on lap four after being sent to row two by the flagman for jumping. Warrens race ended when the green fell as he made contact and broke his frontend. Rager was running a strong third, but exited on lap eight, handing the final transfer in the 12 lapper to Hunt.

Dobmeier led the first three laps of the 25 lapper, before Skelton flipped hard in turn three, collecting Anderson. Both were done. Dobmeier led Neitzel, Henderson, W. Johnson and Young back to green. Henderson shot under Neitzel for second before another flip occurred on lap six. Jeffrey was the victim this time in an easy roll-over. Bakker had now moved into the top five and was looking strong. Henderson pulled up on the leader and took the point on lap ten. W. Johnson slipped back to sixth before surging into second on lap 15. Four laps later he would get by Henderson and hold it until a lap 23 caution for a stopped C. Shirek. W. Johnson now led Henderson, a surging Bakker, Dobmeier and Neitzel, who was trying to hold off Young. Henderson slid under W. Johnson and two waged war for the lead, exchanging sliders. Blonde stopped on lap 26 while running ninth. Henderson was leading with W. Johnson in tow. W. Johnson would see his motor expire two laps later, ending his night. Bakker assumed second, but had nothing for the strong Henderson.
