Other feature event winners for the evening would include Tommy Bailey of Corbin, KY in Modifieds, Keith Decker of Somerset, KY in Super Dirt Stock/Sportsman, and Jeremy Strunk of Bronston, KY in Front Wheel Drives.
Danny Hatcher and Joey Daniel would bring the field to the green flag in the 35 lap, $2,000 to win Super Late Model feature event, with Hatcher taking the race lead, followed by Michael Chilton, Dustin Neat, Joey Daniel, and Victor Lee, with Lee drawing a caution on lap 3 for a flat left rear tire. Back underway, Chilton would begin to turn up the wick and pressure Hatcher for the lead and would finally make what would turn out to be the winning pass at the flagstand on lap 12. Two more cautions would slow the action and after the final caution on lap 27, Neat would work past Hatcher for second on lap 28. However, Chilton would keep a steady pace at the point and score his second straight feature event win aboard his Central Painting/Chilton’s Lawn Care/Dial Painting/Blue Moon Farms sponsored #97 REVELution Chassis, Mike Bullock Race Engines powered mount.

Joe David Turner would fend off the repeated challenges of Ryan Jones to claim second, while Jerry Pyles and Virgil Parriman completed the top five.
