The UMP Modified feature event would see Denny Schwartz and Gabe Menser on the front row via the passing points they earned in the heats. At the drop of the green Schwartz bolted out to the lead, only to have it brought back due to Menser looping his mount around in turn number four. Menser would get his spot back due to it being a complete restart. On the restart, Schwartz took the lead with Menser and Arby Burton battling for second. Burton nabbed the second spot away from Menser. Menser then pulled off the speedway, ending his evening. Caution flag number two would fly on lap two for Dan Bloem, who had spun in turn one. When the green flew for the restart, Schwartz jumped out to about a five car advantage over Burton and Chuck Haga. Haga and Burton then started to duel it out for the runner up spot, with Burton holding on to the spot. Haga then had to worry about Rob Fuqua, who shot around both he and Burton for second. While all of this was going on, Schwartz held about a full straight lead over Fuqua. Haga and Burton would begin to battle for third. Disaster would strike Schwartz, as he would pull off the racetrack on lap nine, giving the lead to Fuqua. Fuqua, at the lap 12 mark, had a half track lead over the second place car of Burton. Behind the leaders, John Demoss moved his way into the top five with a pass on Jason Lakey. Demoss then started to work on Randy Schuman for the fourth spot. Shuman would have none of it, as he moved around Haga for the third position. Up front, it was all Fuqua, who took the win followed by Burton, Shuman, Haga, and Demoss rounded out the top five.
