Richie Hedrick led all 25 laps of the feature from his third place starting spot. Eric Smith challenged him the last half of the race to no avail. Smith had earlier turned in fast time of the 33 late models on hand at 12.98 seconds. Steve Sheppard Jr won the first heat over Eric Smith. The second heat went to Brian Dively over Jr Shickel. Heat number three went to Richie Hedrick over Matt Taylor. The fourth heat went to Dennis Erb Jr over Jason Feger. Chris Dick won the semi feature over Jimmy Felker Jr.

the above nineteen drivers all finished on the lead lap. The race was marred only once with Dennis Erb Jr taking a quick upside down ride at the turn three wall, ending his night, but he walked away unhurt. The win moves Hedrick to only nine points behind Matt Taylor in the track point standings.
Jeff Leka had a stellar night, taking home four checkered flags. Leka dominated the School Bus races, not only winning the heat but the feature in grand style. The Bus race was run AFTER all the other classes were done. Then the promoter dumped a bunch of water on the track making it slick. Leka had a sight brush will the turn four wall on the last lap, then spun sideways at the checkered flag for the win.
Leka also earlier had won both his heat and feature in the modified class. Denny Schwartz started pole position with Leka on the outside. Leka took the lead and held off several hard challenges by Schwartz. Schwartz came home second with Matt Bachman third, Scott Bull fourth and Lance Dehm fifth. Kyle Logue, Kyle Byerline, Marty Hiser, McKay Wenger and Jeb Freidman rounded out the top ten.
In the street stocks, Jeremy Nichols won a caution filled race over Jim Quinn and Johnson.
In the sportsman class, young Jimmy Dehm won his first Farmer City feature in a spirited last lap pass over Ben Husle with Nick Macklin, Shane Tomlin and Greg Kimmons rounding out the top five.
Fast Joe Reed won the hornet feature.
