John and Mark Virnig (#6.2) topped 2-Man Cruiser action for the second straight week at Monster Hall Raceway.

The Midwest Mods came out of the gate first with #01 Al Seehafer in the hunt, along with #27 Scott Anderson, and #34 Mickey Nosser back out on the high banks. Seehafer and Nosser jumped out front of the pack to do battle along with Anderson in third. #3JR Shane Halopka tried to work his way up the field, but the frontrunners were too much for him, as they were ahead 7 car lengths, and gaining on the field after the halfway point. Seehafer proved to be the best once again, and drove away with the win once again at Monster Hall Raceway.

Next out were the Street Stocks, with hard charging #51 Chris Oertel up front, along with veteran #33 Mike Paul in the hunt as well. Mechanical trouble struck the Oertel machine, leaving the field wide open for an impressive #17x Joe Bablick to take over the lead for a period of time. Paul who had his sights set on the frontrunners spot the entire time, worked the low line like no other, getting around Bablick coming out of corner 4, and taking his red #33 to the Budweiser winners circle.

The Super Stocks saw a huge scare when #75 Scott Geiger took his machine up into the front stretch retaining fence, taking out a couple of poles and bringing red flag conditions to the track. The officials worked tirelessly getting the track back to racing conditions, allowing for the field to get back up to speed. #40 Kevin Adams came back to continue building onto his record of feature wins at Monster Hall Raceway, taking home number 62 on Friday night.

The Modifieds came back onto the track, with #22 Jeff Spacek out front. A master of the black track, Spacek knew how to drive his machine on the high banks, with high flying #33 Jed Moore charging up to the front. Jed worked his way up to second, when the yellow flag flew, bringing the cars back together. Spacek went back out to the lead, proving to be too much for the rest of the field, taking home his 7th feature win this season, followed by Moore in second.

The Late Models came out next, and saw "The Navarino Nightmare" Terry Anvelink in his #32 Machine out front, with his son Nick in #15 behind him running in second. #80 Troy Kuyoth started in 5th, and worked his way around #00 Robby Bunkelman on the inside of corner number 2, getting his black machine in line to march to the front, but to no avail, as the Anvelink duo proved to be once again too much for the rest of the field, with Terry taking home the win.
