As Martin clicked off 16-second laps and began to pull away, Karrick and Blackburn ran close for second at the halfway marker. Dustin Hodges began climbing the standings two-thirds of the way through the race, moving in on Blackburn and Grindstaff inside the top five and ultimately climbing to third by lap 23.

For the Super Stock main event, Cody Frazon and Nathan Vaughn earned the most passing points in the heat races to capture front-row honors. The opening laps were furious with Vaughn and Frazon staying side-by-side in a battle for the lead. Soon after, Aaron Poe moved into the mix as the fans were treated to a classic three-way battle for the win with drivers searching the high, middle, and low line for the win. Just before the halfway marker, Poe pulled up to challenge for the lead, but Frazon maintained his lead. Soon after, with Frazon leading the way, lapped traffic came into play by lap 13 to make things interesting up front until a pair of late-race caution flags bunched the field for a sprint to the finish. Meanwhile, Marc Carter moved in on the leaders and challenged Vaughn in third while Poe again searched for a way around Frazon at the front. At the finish of the highly competitive race, Frazon came away with his third win of the season with Poe second, Carter third, Vaughn fourth and Devin Irvin, who recovered from an early spin, rounding out the top five.

Wolfenbarger comfortably paced the field through a pair of early caution periods, leaving Schultz in a fierce battle for second with Shadren Turner.

Brandon Hoover and Nathan Vaughn earned the front row starting position for the 15-lap Pure Stock main with Vaughn quickly jumping out to an early race lead.

Chastity Younger and Jeff Bard began the 15-lap main event from row one with Bard pulling away to a comfortable lead. Bard set a torrid pace leading the way over Mark Billings, Bobby Layne, and multiple-time winner Chase Fischer. It looked as though Bard would go unchallenged for the win but a caution flag on lap 13 slowed the field and setup a two-lap dash to the finish. On the next circuit Fischer made his way around Bard and went on to capture his third CMS win of the year. Bard stayed close in second with Layne, Billings, and Kenny Brown completing the top five.
