Whoops! The Super Stock feature was slowed when this accident developed.  Shown tangled here were the cars of Paul Erikson (#4) and Mark Stender (#27). Erikson was able to continue but Stender was done for the evening.

Mark Stender, Randy Spacek and Paul Erikson came through comer one bunched together, battling hard, when Erikson spun, causing a chain reaction resulting in all three cars crashing into each other. Erikson was unable to continue, Stender returned after a quick tire change and Spacek was able to keep his car running, falling back into his fifth place spot.

Meanwhile Dale Sonnentag from Stanley continued to lead the pack with constant pressure from last weeks winner Paul Lieders. Spacek and Robby Bunkelman moved past Lance Leu grabbing the third and fourth spot. Leu, made a nice move to regain  his spot   back from Bunkelman.

Smooth sailing was held in the last seven laps  as Dale Sonnentag grabbed his first Super Stock Feature win.  Lieders was second, Spacek claimed third while Leu and Bunkelman rounded out the top five.

Ivan Simmerman, from Bloomer held the early lead in the Street Stock feature. Kevin Bogdanovic moved into the lead in the fourth lap. Kevin Adams grabbed  the second spot in the sixth lap with Todd Lindner close behind positioning himself in third. Great racing action, was held, with only one caution called through out this race.  With the white flag out, Lindner made a fast-move passing Adams, but  ran out of time to be able to catch Bogdanovic, who took this feature win. Lindner was second, while Adams, Mike Paul and Ryan Miller completed third through fifth.

Troy Kuyoth held the lead in the Modified Feature from start to finish. Karl Fenske and Bob Richardson got tangled up together in the third, with Richardson ending his night of racing action early. With a good run in this feature the track was full of action early with cars being lapped as ten laps continued by with with no cautions. Running in second, Steve Isenberg held off hard, driving Fenske, Jeff Spacek and Jack Larson until the seventeenth lap, when Fenske shot, into second.

Spacek, who has had car problems the last couple weeks looked strong moving into third behind Fenske after a fifth row start. With only two laps left, Luke Schilling was called on a caution getting tied up with Robby Bunkelman and Scott Duval. Bunkelman was unable to continue. With a green, white and checkered held, Troy Kuyoth took first, Fenske second, Spacek third, Isenberg fourth and Jack Larson in fifth.
