Nate Hauge (#10) brings home the checkered flag after the feature contest in the Pure Stock division.

The Pure Stock class started the first of five features with a little challenge to Justin Lindner who has been dominant at Monster Hall Raceway. Lindner
had to start in the back of the field. The reward for winning the feature would be double the pay out for Lindner. The other big challenge for Lindner was Nate Hauge who started on the pole. Hauge pulled away from the field but then a caution came out. Lindner was already up to second place. Hauge and Lindner battled up front, but it was clear Hauge was not giving up the win and did take the checkered flag. Lindner was
second, Skyler Domine third, Tom Podratz came in fourth, and John Kundinger was fifth.

The WISSOTA Midwest Mods feature had Dave Salzman, Jr. and Dave Williams starting up front. Shane Halopka, Jr. who has been dominant this year at Monster Hall Raceway started eighth. Salzman took the early lead but Halopka was quickly coming through the field using the high cushion. After a caution, it didn't take long for Halopka to get out front and take another feature win at Monster Hall Raceway. Salzman came in second, Jim Poyda third, Shannon Williams came in
fourth, and Steve Bangert was fifth.

The WISSOTA Street Stock feature had a hard time getting started with two early cautions. The field of cars was then started single file. Rugg Lindner led the field with Chris Crapser, Jared Lindner, Jared Loos, and the high flying Roger Walker charging hard to the front. Rugg Lindner kept his car low and Walker was the high groove. Walker eventually got out front and claimed another feature win at Monster Hall Raceway. Rugg Lindner held on for second, Jared  Lindner had a good run at third, Jared Loos came in fourth, and Chris Crapser was fifth.

The WISSOTA Super Stock feature event had another first time winner at Monster Hall Raceway; showing just how competitive the racing is at the track. Jere Stanton came to the track with the # 21s car and put it in the winner's circle at Monster Hall Raceway.  Stanton passed Willner early and never slowed down.

Mike Hince charged through the field for second, Mark Stender third, Scott Geiger fourth, and Willner held on for fifth with a tire going down. Next the big event of the night came with the WISSOTA Modified feature. Ray Karl, Jr. and John Frydrych were on the front row. Chris Oertel started from the second row, Jed Moore in the third row, and Jeff Spacek in the fifth row. They all had an impact on the final results of the race. Karl, Jr. had the early lead, but Oertel wanted the lead and did get it after a few cautions. Oertel stretched the lead until the fourth caution of the night bunched up the field with just a few laps to go. Oertel led the field followed by Spacek, Moore and Karl setting up a shoot out for the finish. Spacek battled high and low to find a way around Oertel but to no prevail. Oertel held off Spacek for another feature win at Monster Hall Raceway. Jeff Spacek's impressive performance was good enough for second, Jed Moore managed third, Ray Karl, Jr. held on for fourth. Kent Baxter making a return to the track with a came in fifth place.
