On lap number six, the yellow came out for Smith. Amantea prepared for the restart with Mike Thompson, Bright, Drevicki, Danner, and Williamsport’s Tyler Cochran in the top five. While cars were pulling slide jobs and running two and three wide, Bright found the top side of turns one and two to be well suited for his car. He took over second on lap number seven and passed Amantea for the lead by the completion of lap number 10. Drevicki caught Amantea and moved into the runner up postion at the races halfway point. Danner took over the third spot on lap number 18.
On lap number 21, Bright started to encounter lapped traffic.

Stabley had a comfortable lead and was ready to pick up his first career win. Weaver passed Siegel with two laps remaining. Then on the final lap, the caution flagged waved for Mathew Dixon who stopped on the speedway. Stabley had to restart the race with Weaver on his back bumper.

The caution came out on lap number nine, when Reed Thompson and Logan Jones tangled in turn number two. On lap number 12, Timmy Bittner moved into fourth place and took the third postion on lap number 18. Kissinger weaved his way through lapped traffic, with Beamer hoping for Kissinger to make a mistake. At one point Beamer was within striking distance, but Kissinger made a bold move and split between two lapped cars going down the back stretch.  A caution slowed the field on lap 22, when Frank Rusnock spun in turn two.   Kissinger brought the field back up to speed on the restart.  Beamer went to the pits, moving Bittner up to second with Prettyleaf in third, seventh place starter Garrett Bard restarted in fourth and Tylor Cochran moved into the top five. At the finish, Kissinger held off Bittner, Prettyleaf, Bard and Cochran.  Sixth though tenth were Dale Schweikart, Matt Tebbs, Jeffrey Weaver, Neil Petock, and Josh Fox.  Heat races were won by Bard, Smith, and Kissinger.

At the halfway point of the event, the top three remained unchanged as Keegan McGrew and Bryan Wagaman completed the top five.  On lap number 12, the top three cars began to encounter lapped traffic.   In the closing laps, Transeau and Stough tried everything they had to get around McClelland but couldn’t make a pass before the checkered flag.  “I know they were both there,” said McClelland in victory lane. “It was a hard-fought battle, but it was exciting.  The track was great.” The top five included McClelland, Transeau, Stough, Choya Young and Logan Carbaugh. Sixth through tenth were Tyler Kaylor, Justin Wagaman, Rick Hartwig, Cory Phillips, and Chad Ernest.  Heat races were won by McClelland, Stough and Transeau.

Hunter Zimmerman and Mac Wert lead the field of 270 Micro Sprints to the green flag.  Zimmerman quickly took command of the field with Cory Stabley, Timmy Bittner, Jeffrey Weaver and Bobby Sanso in the top five.  Weaver moved into second on lap number six, but Zimmerman had established a half of a straight-away lead over the rest of the field.  Weaver was gaining on Zimmerman, who appeared to be on way to securing his first career win at the speedway.  However, misfortune stuck on lap number nine, when Zimmerman’s car stopped on the front stretch, giving the lead to Weaver.  Weaver restarted the race with Stabley, Bittner, Sanso and Brayden Spencer in the top five.   Weaver raced to the finish to secure the win.  Bobby Sanso was second, Spencer third, Wert was fourth, and Stabley completed the top five.  Sixth through tenth were Bittner, Skeetz Hockenbrock, Logan Hammaker, Jim Barkey and Evan Dickey.  Heat races were won by Weaver and Spencer. 

In 600 Micro Sprint competition, Cody Hauck led up to the halfway mark.  Johnny Smith, who started fourth made a pass for the lead with Hauck, Sierra Hauck, Trevor Teats and Mikey Smith running in the top five.  Mikey Smith brought out the events only yellow on lap number 10 when his car stopped on the front stretch.  Smith held off the challenge of Hauck to claim the victory.  Teats finished third, with Weaver and S. Hauck completing the top five.  Smith also won the heat race.

Hunter Flook started on the front row of the Four Cylinder main event.  On lap number five, Flook led Zak Kline, Andrew Rickets, Blake Snyder and Anthony Potter.  Snyder brough out the caution on lap number 6 to regroup the field for the restart.   Rickets moved into second on lap number seven as Shawn Stahl moved into the top five.   Following a lap nine restart, Flook, Rickets, Stahl, Chloe Smith and Coty Maines were running in the top five.   Flook crossed the line first, but failed post-race inspection, giving Stahl the win.  Cody Maines was second, followed by Bryun Hackenberg, Joey Snook and Donald Wynn.  Sixth through tenth were Zak Kline, Troy Bennett, Adam Harris, Anthony Potter, and Summer Beachel.  Heats were won by Smith, Snyder and Potter.
