In Brucebilt Performance Iron-Man Modified Series action, Ricky Arms of Moss, TN would pick up the $2,000 payday and claim his third series victory of the season.

Moyer’s victory would be worth $5,000, plus he could claim the $1,000 bonus presented by McGowan Excavating, along with a $100 bonus for overall fast time, to make his evening efforts worth $6,100. The win for Moyer would come aboard his Mesilla Valley Transportation, Henderson Motorsports, Garnant Family Farms, Jack’s CarQuest, Watters Autoland, Car City, Karl Chevrolet, Karl Performance sponsored #21 Victory Race Cars by Moyer, Clements Race Engines powered entry.

Billy Moyer would take the lead at the start of the fifty lap Super Late Model contest, with Jason Jameson, Michael Chilton, Tanner English, and Billy Moyer, Jr. in pursuit. The front-five would remain the same as Moyer began working slower traffic on lap seven. The first caution of the event would fly on lap ten when Dean Carpenter made contact with the outside retaining wall in turn two and the caution would turn into a red-flag situation to remove a transponder that was picking up from a car that was not in the event. Once action resumed, Moyer would maintain the lead, while English would take third from Chilton, only to have Chilton reclaim the spot one trip later on lap eleven. Chilton would then deliver a slidejob pass on Jameson for second in turn four to claim the runner-up slot on lap twelve. The caution flag would wave again on lap thirteen when Sam Epling would slow at the top of turn four. The restart would see Moyer and Chilton first and second, while English would work past Jameson for the third position. Three circuits later, the caution would wave again for a tangle involving Casey Turman and Joey Standridge on the backchute. This restart would see the first four positions remain the same, while Scott James would challenge Moyer, Jr. for the fifth position and take it on lap seventeen.

As Moyer lengthened his lead, a caution for debris would slow his efforts on lap twenty-three. On the restart, James would work past Jameson for the fourth position, while thirteenth starting Victor Lee would follow James and claim the fifth position. Moyer would be steady out front and begin to work traffic again on lap thirty. At this point Moyer would continue to work traffic, while second place Chilton would attempt to follow suit. By lap forty, Chilton was beginning to catch Moyer for the race lead, while Cameron Marlar would challenge Lee for the fifth position and take it lap forty-three. Chilton would close right in on Moyer’s bumper at this point and looked set to make a move for the lead when he would scrap the turn two wall and damage the rear spoiler on his machine, followed by the caution waving on lap forty-six for debris in turn two. The final restart would see Moyer put a bit of distance between himself and Chilton, while Marlar challenged James for the fourth position and would take it on lap forty-seven. However, Moyer would not be challenged the remainder of the way and would score the victory, with Chilton settling for second and English finishing in third. James would squeeze past Marlar off turn four coming to the checkered flag to claim the fourth positon, while Marlar would settle for fifth. The remainder of the top ten finishers would be Lee, Jameson, David Payne, Tommy Bailey, and Todd Coffman.

Tommy Bailey would lead the opening five circuits of the Brucebilt Performance Iron-Man Modified feature event before Ricky Arms would claim the race lead on lap six and survive several late-race cautions to score the victory. Bailey would settle for second, with Clayton Miller coming home in third. Shon Flanary would finish in the fourth position, while Ben Petrey would complete the top five. The remainder of the top ten finishers would be Keith Denny, Wayne James, Tim Patrick, Donnie Beard, and Peyton Harlow, who spun on the final lap in turn three while running fifth.

The MARS Super Late Model Racing Series would crown its 2018 series champion as well after the Super Late Model main event and Tanner English would claim the 2018 MARS championship. The second-generation driver from Benton, KY would prove to be a model of consistency throughout the 2018 season, as English would not claim a tour victory, but would score eleven top-five finishes on his way to the 2018 series title after claim the 2017 MARS East championship.
