| Pole sitter Terry Cole remained the race leader through some early trouble including a rollover at lap 3 that no one – not even that car's driver – seemed to be able to explain. Matt Lassaline (24) rolled at least twice prompting the second time the night's sponsor, Whitworth Towing, had to haul a rollover off the track. (The first was during a heat race) The 182 of Manny Demelo was also brought in by Whitworth and apologized that a steering problem caused him to clip Lassaline made him flip. The second caution occurred at lap 6 when a rear tire flew off the 12 car of Mike Skinner and nearly landed in the truck bed of Dan Hundt (31). At lap 17 Cole (129) surrendered the lead with a mechanical problem putting Steve Book (64) out front. (Earlier in the night Book had left the second heat race to deal with some troubles under the hood although he did return and finished that heat five laps off the pace.) The race stayed green at lap 35 when a handful of contenders connected on the back stretch. Stan Cook and his crew took a baseball bat to the 74 to try to get it in shape to return to the race, which it did at lap 48. The "Lightning McQueen" car of Jacob Orr overheated although it was hard to tell because that vehicle's tongue is always hanging out. Rough luck for Steve Arrand at lap 64. He lost his 4th place position with a spin. At the same time, Steve Lovie (141) took advantage of the slowed traffic and got back on the lead lap but it didn't last long. A similar situation cost Derek McCullough (38) his second place position a few laps later. He finished 4th. The track was red-flagged at lap 84 as Josh Lusicer (99) spun on turn one and lost power. Whitworth gave him a push off to the pits where the car was given a much needed drink and time to cool off. A couple of laps later lots of smoke from Carl Geiger whose 18 car smoked and spun on turn one. The 18 sat facing traffic, out of harm's way, for the rest of the race. Steve Arrand's night came to an end at lap 120 when Adam Deauvall (19) spun and Arrand had nowhere to go but into the 19. With Book dominating and lapping the traffic on the track, the race was on for second spot. #2 heat winner Ed Jeffrey maintained second until Norm Schneckenburger, driving Barry Watson's car, took it over with less than 10 laps to go before giving it back again. The win was Steve Book's second feature victory of the season. Jeffrey landed second, Schneckenburger third, Derek McCullough fourth and Piet Blaauboer II in fifth. Some contenders were taken out before the feature race. In the first heat, the 409 of Kevin Casson left at lap 5, spewing a bonfire's worth of smoke. Jim Toffliemeyer's (125) left front flat took him out at lap 19. In all, a dozen drivers didn't finish the first heat which was won by Richard Ainsworth. It was Ainsworth's first trip to Victory Lane in 15 years of racing and announcer Jamie Maudsley said Ainsworth was "smiling like a mule with a mouthful of thistles!" At lap 8 the second heat race had to be red-flagged when Scott Cottenden's car struck the back wall and flipped onto its lid. Cottenden crawled out and waved to show he was okay. (That was Whitworth's first call to action of the night.) Ed Jeffrey took the win. Another entertaining round of Ultimate Sandblasting & Coating Chaos Cars saw The Red Baron (Chris O'Neill) make his way to Victory Lane with a crumpled hood and spewing smoke!
