Story by Terry Young
Shannon Babb once again took his favorite car that bears the moniker of "Full Pull" and sports a Jay Dickens Engine with sponsorship from CAR CITY, G&C Enterprises, PRC, Watters Autoland, J&J Steel, KARL Chevrolet, Outlawd Motorsports, Platinum Motors & RV, ALLSTAR Performance, Sunoco Race Fuels, Triple B Outfitters, Outlawd Motorsports, Mike Mudd Tractor and Combine Repair, Wick Racing, Hoosier by Smash, Indy Screen Print, Petersen Systems, Weld Wheels, IMPACT Safety Equipment, Dyers Rods, Bert Transmission, Sweet Manufacturing and Petroff Towing to victory lane, this time from a third row starting berth as he drove the high side and masterfully took the lead on lap 21 and never loked back leading the remaining markers to the checkered flag.

This would mark an unbelievable 7 feature wins on the tour out of 11 completed events thus far. The other winners on the tour have been Dennis Erb, Rodney Melvin and Don O'Neal and Randy Korte!

Rodney Melvin led the first several laps from his pole start and Brady Smith would overtake Melvin on lap 3 and lead until relilnguishing the point to Babb.

Follwoing Babb at the stripe were Melvin, Jimmy Mars, Dennis Erb, Randy Korte, Jeep Van Wormer, Smith, Steve Hillard, Kevin Weaver and Billy Faust rounding out the top 10.

The evening began with Smith recording the fast time honors among the 36 cars on hand.

The dash was won by Melvin in a tight battle with Smith, followed by Mars, Weaver, Van Wormer, Babb, Erb, Frankie Martin and Mark Faust.

Heat races were won by Erb over Hillard, Matt Taylor, Michael Kloos, Tom Carson, Patrick Sheltra, John Pauley and Randy Bingham, Billy Faust over Martin, Brian Shirley, Mike Schulte and Jim Shereck, Chad Zobrist over Mark Faust, Kevin Gundaker filling in in the Clay Baumann ride, Jason Feger, Brent Hemlkamp, Mark Voigt and Frank Heckenast, Jr. and Randy Korte over Michael England, Rick Salter, Mark Gansmann, Jordan Bland, Kerry Gualtney and Vince Grondzki.

The consis were topped by Kloos over Feger, Carson and Voigt and Schulte over Shereck, Gansmann and Dan Jacober.
