Delbert Desjarles moved into second with Tylor Schultz third and Gaserude running in the fourth position. The top five ran nose to tail until Gaserude began to make his move on lap 20. Gaserude went to the high side of Schultz and quickly moved alongside Desjarles for second. After a brief battle, Gaserude cleared for second and went right to work on Taylor for the top spot. Using the outside groove once again, Gaserude cleared for the lead on lap 24. Defending champion Dean Schultz followed in Gaserude's tracks through the top five and into second, but Gaserude was too strong to catch as he cruised to the stripe for the win.

Making only his second appearance of the season, Fitchburg's Don Trush claimed the 30 lap Sportsman feature win. Tiffany Desjarles and Gerry Junget battled side by side from the front row at the drop of the green. Desjarles finally claimed the top spot on lap four when Junget floated high in turn two. This also allowed Trush to move into second behind Desjarles as Junget slipped into third. Trush measured up the leader for a few laps and decided on lap eight to make his move. Trush went to the outside of Desjarles and cleared for the top spot on lap ten. Trush began to pull away from the field until caution on lap 14 erased his advantage. As the green returned, Trush again shot out to a big lead. Meanwhile, last week's feature winner, Brandon Riedner, was making his way through the field with his father, Scott, in tow. The duo sliced through the top five and into second, and third respectively with ten laps remaining. But the lead that Trush was enjoying was too large to overcome and he motored to the checkered flag and the win. Brandon Riedner, Scott Riedner, Jake Wasserburger and Desjarles completed the top five. Scott Riedner grabbed quick time with a lap of 14.050 while Junget and Mike Winters claimed heat race wins.

Making their second visit this season to Columbus 151 Speedway was the International class. Mark English of Milton managed to secure the win in the 20 lap feature event. Peter Shelley took the initial lead on the opening lap with Sean Watters moving into second. English charged into the top five on lap eight and made quick work getting to the front. English used the high groove to move into second on lap ten and alongside the leader two laps later. English cleared for the lead just as the caution waved on lap 14 when Shelley spun on the backstretch. As the green returned, English drove away for the win with Joe Cross, Rodney Mundt, Jimmie Pankow and Sean Watters rounding out the top five. English made it a clean sweep by claiming the heat race win and quick time on the night.

Marshall's Gary Pashley led every lap of the 20 lap Hobby Stock feature on his way to victory lane with the win. Pashley took control on the first lap and never looked back as the second position was swapped throughout the race between several drivers. Kyle Riedner took his turn early on with Lincoln Keeser in third. Keeser took over on lap 13 with Andy Raley in tow for second. Two cautions slowed the field, but never was Pashley challenged for the lead. As the checkers flew, it was Pashley out front with Raley, Keeser, Ben Monday and Dustin Ward finishing in the top five. Larry Moen took top honors in qualifying with a lap of 15.203 while Keeser claimed the heat race win.

Brandon Condroski of Cudahy quickly went to the front of the field to race his way to the win in the 18 lap Bandit feature. Josh Steckel and Daniel Ellis lead the field to green as the two competitors battled for the top spot. Condroski started to the inside of row two, and on lap two, split to the two leaders to take over the lead. Caution flew on lap three and on the restart, Condroski rifled out to a comfortable lead. Two more cautions would slow the field, but each time the top five would break away from the pack and run single file with Condroski remaining out front. At the stripe, it was Condroski for the win followed by Alex Lee, Jimmy Junget, Michael Clapper and Ed Klug. Clapper took fast time with a lap of 16.278 while heat winners included Condroski and Jess Watters.

In wild and crazy back up action, Andy Ward of Madison dominated the 8 lap feature event on his way to the win. Ward grabbed the lead on the opening lap and never looked back while Jug Her spent the entire event trying to run the leader down. Lapped traffic couldn't slow the leader as he charged to the win with Her in second and Ryan Oetzel third.
