| The racing surface was impeccable allowing for 3 wide racing everywhere. "The track surface was perfect all night, you could go anywhere and we all did. High, low, middle it didn't matter, there was bite and intermittent slippery spots everywhere, stated Tobias". The midway point saw Tobias leading the way with Page and Schaffer lurking behind. Tyler Potts had fourth solidly locked down while a hard fought skirmish amongst 7 STR's was going on for fifth, with DJ Macri leading the pack. As the field took the 5 to go sign, Schaffer was pressuring Page hard for second. Schaffer commented after the race, "These cars are a blast to drive, Richie did a great job here. I made some changes for the feature and the car was pretty neutral, I could go just about anywhere I wanted. We came to learn some things and I did, now I have some hands on knowledge to take back to the boys." Page would hold off the challenges of Schaffer to capture second followed by Potts (4th), and Macri rounding out the top 5. STR Notes: Only 1 caution flag flew during the entire SpeedSTR evening events. Rick Schaeffer made his first ever start in a SpeedSTR to better familiarize himself with them to help out the Rahmer boys. Brittany Wixon ran her best race of the season and continued to show great improvement.
