Sturgis Streeter of Topeka, Kansas began the 35-lap big-money B-Mod race from pole position alongside Urbana’s Colson Kirk. In some of the closest racing seen all season, Kirk darted to the front with Streeter, Jon Sheets, and Jake Richards in tow. The leaders set a blistering pace at the front of the field with Sheets searching for a way in front of Kirk by lap five. Behind the leaders, Richards, Streeter, and Mitchell Franklin raced in the top five. The race pace remained intense and close through lap 20 as Sheets stalked Kirk out front. Meanwhile, eighth-starting Shadren Turner moved inside the top five. Sheets put heavy pressure on Kirk by lap 22 as the two drivers battled for the win. The race featured 30 straight laps of green-flag racing before caution fell over the field. Kirk and Sheets resumed their close action at the front of the field right to the checkered flag with Richards, Turner, and sixteenth-starting Terry Schultz inside the top five. Despite pulling side-by-side with Kirk, Sheets could not complete the pass for the lead as Kirk emerged the apparent winner over Sheets, Richards, and Turner. However, during post-race technical inspection, the entire top four was disqualified from the finish for various rules infractions. When the official finish was revised and re-posted, Terry Schultz was declared the official winner with Brad Smith second, Streeter third, Colin Pierce fourth, Jacob Ebert fifth and Mulich sixth.

Multiple-time winner Aaron Poe and Nick Fritch of Humboldt, Kansas, took the initial green flag for the 25-lap Super Stock A-main. Poe quickly pulled away from the field leaving Fritch to battle for second with Donnie Miller and track champion Blaine Ewing. By lap six, Miller pulled to second behind Poe as the pair distanced themselves from the rest of the field. Lap seven found the drivers under a caution period with Poe out front. By lap ten, after racing resumed, Poe led Miller, Ewing, Danny McKenzie and Michael Muskrat. At the lap 14 mark, the battle for the lead heated up as Miller put heavy pressure on Poe while Muskrat found his way to third in a close battle with Ewing. Poe held strong at the front and kept his machine in front for the lead. In heavy lapped traffic, Poe and Miller threaded their way through the other competitors to setup a classic battle to the finish, but Poe emerged as the winner in a close finish with Miller, who settled for second after starting eighth.
