John Scarborough had a perfect night winning his heat and taking the top spot of the feature. Twenty-four sprinters signed in for the co-sanctioned race on what turned out to be a breezy nice evening with heats up first Jerald Harris, John Scarborough and Austin Greenland taking wins. John Scarborough and Ryan Lynn paced the feature to green with Scarborough staying low and leaving Lynn to deal with a charging Donnie Hendershot. The racetrack was full of cars and traffic came in to play quickly bunching up the front runners. Scarborough stayed low and worked his way through but not without Hendershot and Lynn staying right on him and sometimes next to him. Hendershot was making a run for the lead after getting by Lynn but a yellow for a stalled car would slow the pace. With two to go Scarborough took off and Hendershot was not able to keep Lynn behind him as retook second but time ran out to make a charge as Scarborough flashed under a waving checkered flag. At the line it was John Scarborough, Ryan Lynn, Donnie Hendershot, Aylissa Rowe, Dylan Shatzer, Austin Greenland, Steve Kenawell sr., Matthew Leach, Brad Mellot, Jerald Harris, Jay Fry, Aaron Leach, Colton Hendershot, Caleb Harris, Matt Kline, Reed Thompson, Matt Mullis, Ben Miklos, Chris Humblet, Chris Ware, John Smith, Daren Bolac, French Grimes and Hunter McFadden.
