IMCA Modifieds

Muenster held the top spot until lap No. 17, when Yarie passed Muenster on the outside of turn 4 to grab the lead. Yarie led the rest of the way for the win. Muenster held on to second, Jamie Schmidt held off Jerry Muenster for third.
IMCA Stock Cars

Riehl withstood early challenges from the likes of Vern Stedjee and Harley Simon. By lap No. 6 Frederick raced his way around Stedjee into the second spot. On the following lap, Travis VanStaten, who started the race in the last spot after taking the challenge, joined the top three. Riehl, Frederick and VanStraten put on a great show in front of the field as the race ran on. Frederick was able to pass Riehl for the lead on lap No. 12, but Riehl took the lead right back entering turn 1 on the next lap. Riehl would continue to work the outside lane around the track and hold the lead until turn 4 of the final lap. Frederick finally made the pass for the win as the checkered flag flew. Frederick won by inches to stay unbeaten in feature action. Riehl finished second with VanStraten a close third.

By lap No. 7, with Lamberies pulling away, Wassenberg moved into second. A caution flag on lap No. 8 wiped way Lamberies’ lead. Joey Taycher passed Wassenberg to take the second spot behind Lamberies on lap No. 14. Taycher was able to reel in Lamberies and make the pass for the lead before caution flew on lap No. 17, setting up a three-lap shootout to the finish. Lap No. 18 saw Taycher, Wassenberg and Lamberies go three wide for the lead on the front stretch of the track. Entering turn 3, Taycher got a bit too high and made contact with the wall allowing Wassenberg and Lamberies to pass him in turn 4. Wassenberg would go on to hold off Lamberies for the win. Taycher recovered to finish third.
