Scattered showers were predicted all day and a brief, light shower passed through the area early in the day but at race time the sky was beautiful with the thermometer in the upper seventies. In regular weekly action, father and son, Rob and Max Blair, each won their features (Super Late and FASTRAK Late Models).

John Volpe and Mike Knight led the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models to the green. Knight led from the drop of the green, but Robbie Blair came to the lead at the end of lap two then cruised to his third win of the season in the all-green race. Knight wound up second with Boom Briggs third, Volpe fourth, Andy Boozel filling out the top five.

Matt Latta and Max Blair led the Bonnell Collision FASTRAK Late Models to the green flag for their feature. Blair led out of turn two with Latta and Scott Gurdak right behind. Seventh starting Billy Henry came to fourth at three laps complete and then got by Gurdak a lap later.

At lap five Henry was second and closing the gap on Blair. Henry, the winner the first two weeks of the season, was right behind the leader at the halfway point and was beginning to challenge for the lead when Nick Mohawk spun coming out of turn four just in front of the leaders. No contact ensued but the race was under caution, allowing Latta to restart next to Henry.

Henry and Latta got together on the back straight after the green with Latta losing several spots. Ninth starting Mike Knight managed to get by Henry with thirteen complete.

Blair was able to strengthen his lead over the remaining laps, winning by several car-lengths over Henry, who just beat Knight to the stripe. Fourth was Scott Gurdak with Kyle Zimmerman fifth.
