Jeff Falbe followed into second with Weishoff in tow for third. Weishoff got to the inside of Falbe for second on lap nine, taking sole possession of the
position on lap 12. A lap later, Taylor got loose exiting turn two and Weishoff streaked to the outside of the leader down the backstretch. After a brief battle, Weishoff cleared for the top spot
on lap 15 and began to stretch his lead until the caution waved on lap 32. As the green returned, Weishoff began checking out from the field until caution once again erased his advantage. Meanwhile, Don Gaserude was maneuvering his way through the field and into third behind Taylor. After the restart, Gaserude got by Taylor for second and set his sights on the leader. But Weishoff maintained his advantage through one more caution period as he sped to the checkers for the win. Gaserude was second followed by Dean Schultz, Ron Bishofberger and Scott Patrick. Aaron Wilke set the pace in time trials with a lap of 13.435 while heat winners included Jerry Eckhart and Mike Taylor.

In Sportsman action Dale Weatherwax of Cambria laid claim to the 30 lap feature event. Starting from the pole, Weatherwax lead the entire race without ever being seriously challenged. Ed Jackson followed Weatherwax into second at the start, following in the leader's footsteps. Three cautions slowed the field, but never proved to unseat the leader. Weatherwax began to stretch his lead as the laps counted down until the final caution appeared to set up the green/white/checker finish. But Weatherwax cruised to the stripe for the win with Jackson, Jake Wasserburger, Scott Riedner and Brandon Riedner rounding out the top five. Dan Schmidt was quickest in qualifying with a lap of 14.155. Dan Gosda and Mike Winters claimed wins in earlier heat race action.

But Stark could never quite get to Dorn's rear bumper as Dorn motored off to the win. Rounding out the top five were Stark, Dustin Ward, Kyle Riedner and Gary Pashley. Dorn
also won the heat race while Ben Monday took honors in qualifying.

Rio's Jimmy Junget quickly got himself to the front of the 18 lap Bandit feature on his way to the win. Brad Gollon took the early lead with Doug Draheim following into second. Junget charged to the outside of Draheim on his way by for second and alongside Gollon for the top spot. Junget cleared for the lead on lap four with Keaton Hubred in tow for second. Hubred shadowed the leader through two cautions while positions changed hands behind them. Hubred made one more run at the leader after restarting with five laps to go. On the final tour, Hubred made slight contact with Junget in turn three, but Junget was able to keep control as he flew to the checkers for the win. Hubred was second with Dave Schmidt, Brandon Condroski and Carlyn Voigt completing the top five. Ed Klug set fast time with a lap of 16.007. Heat race winners included Brandon Johnson and Dave

Schmidt. Brooklyn's George Wachuta took the top spot in the 8 lap Back Up feature event. Wachuta shot out to the lead at the drop of the green with Jug Her searching for a way to catch the leader.
