Mark Schottmuller was victorious in the NASCAR Outlaw Stocks division feature after several caution periods during the 30-lap race. Several cars had mechanical difficulties causing them to leave the racetrack. Schottmuller passed race leader Dick Attisani after he experienced engine failure on the final lap to take the chequered flag. Glenn Burke finished second while Attisani held on for third.
Don Sargent took the chequered flag in the NASCAR Charger division feature. After battling his way to the front with Travis Swalwell for the lead position, Sargent kept the lead to win the race. Swalwell finished second followed by Tom Youmans and Morris Sealy.
"We started out in the middle of the pack tonight. We were in the middle of nowhere and some holes finally opened up," Sargent said. "The car was better than I thought it was going to be. This is our second win this year."
In the Bandolero Cars division, Bear Rzesnowiecky picked up his second win of the season. Kevin Terrell finished second, followed by Josh Gross.
