For the first time since last season, late models returned to Warrensburg's Central Missouri Speedway (CMS). Robbie Test sailed to victory in the opening heat race over Jeff Schlup. The second heat saw J.D. Hubert, who was competing at CMS for the first time ever grab the win ahead of David Barker and Kevin Coyne. Evan Hubert did not let his brother take the lone family win as he bested Dwight Niehoff and Randy Ainsworth in the third and final heat race. For the main event, Test brought the field to green-flag racing and led the initial laps. J.D. Hubert showed his muscle by racing side-by-side with Robbie Test in a classic battle for the lead early in the race, with J.D. Hubert ultimately taking the point. It wasn't only J.D. Hubert flying the family name though as Evan also battled for position within the top three. Later in the race, Evan Hubert passed his brother J.D. for the lead by lap ten and never looked back as he scored his first-ever feature race victory. Jeff Schlup finished a strong second in a classic battle with J.D. Hubert, who crossed the finish line in third. Other strong-running ULMA member at CMS included Kevin Coyne in fifth; Dwight Niehoff in his CMS debut in sixth, Kevin Kaiser seventh, Danny Monroe eighth, Jon Binning ninth and Ainsworth tenth.

There were 15 late models on hand for the night with two heat races determining the line-up for the main event. Of the 15 drivers competing, 9 were ULMA members. Jeff Schlup of California, MO picked up a heat-race win over Kevin Kaiser and Danny Lorton and by virtue of his win, started on pole position for the feature event. Schlup led the opening four laps of the main event until being passed for the lead on lap five. Great battles among ULMA drivers ensued all throughout the field as Kevin Kaiser methodically made his way towards the front of the field.
