Super Late Models, long the headline class at Raceway 7, returned to the fast 3/8 mile oval with Rob Blair, a four-time Super Late Model Champion, becoming the all-time Super Late Model winner with 37 victories to his credit.

Coming into the Super Late Model event Rob Blair was tied with Dick Barton with each having 36 feature wins. Darrell Bossard and Blair started on the front row with Blair, a four-time champion, getting by Bossard on turn three of lap one to lead the way after the first lap. Jason DuPont got by Bossard on lap four but Blair was opening his lead.

At halfway Blair was into lapped traffic and had a near-quarter-lap lead over DuPont. With six laps to go Blair had a full straight lead over DuPont but saw it disappear when Lance Smith slid into the fourth turn wall, bringing caution over the field.

The top five at this point were Blair, DuPont, Bossard, Brent Rhebergen, and Greg Oakes. After the lap 19 restart Chris Hackett got by Oakes. With two circuits remaining, Doug Glessner looped his mount in turn four, again tightening the field. Following Blair to his 37th victory were DuPont, Bossard, Rhebergen, and Hackett.

Heat 1: Rob Blair, John Mollick, Darrell Bossard, Doug Glessner, Terry Porter, Mike Oakes
