Brian Brown (19th car out) set quick time at 13.608 seconds. Dakota Hendrickson (21st) was second quick, followed by Joey Moughan (20th), Dusstin Selvage (11th), Josh Schneiderman (12th), AJ Bruns (9th), Paul Nienhiser (2nd), Ben Wagoner (4th), Jerrod Hull (1st) and Chris Urish (25th). The track was wet enough that the 410’s took three flights of hot laps. Drawing a late number seemed to be an advantage in qualifying.

Heat one (started): 1. Chris Urish 77u (1) 2. Brian Brown 21 (4) 3. Paul Nienhiser 9 (2) 4. Jeremy Standridge 10s (6) 5. Dustin Selvage 99 (3) / 6. Trey Datweiler 23D (8) 7. Ryan Bunton 7K (5) 8. John Dines 31 (7) 9. Tommy Rockwell 95 (9)

Urish led the 10-lap distance with Brown in tow. Heats took the top two to the Dash and the top five to the feature. The heats still saw a fast, narrow track.

Heat two (started): 1. Ben Wagoner 84 (2) 2. Korey Weyant 99w (1) 3. Dakota Hendrickson 4 (4) 4. Josh Schneiderman 49 (3) 5. Russ Hall 83 (6) / 6. Chris Windom 21x (8) 7. Levi Curry 25 (7) 8. Logan Faucon 52F (5) 9. Vinny Ward 82 (9)

Heat three (started): 1. Jerrod Hull 12 (2) 2. Joey Moughan 17m (4) 3. Jake Blackhurst 25B (1) 4. AJ Bruns 44 (3) 5. John Schulz 99d (6) / 6. Bobby Mincer 15 (5) 7. Harold Pohren 50P (7) 8. Trent Beckinger 75 (8)

Hull led the distance. Moughan moved into second on lap six when Blackhurst bobbled. In a duel of 360’s, Schulz held off Mincer for the final transfer.

Dash (started): 1. Ben Wagoner (2) 2. Brian Brown (4) 3. Joey Moughan (3) 4. Korey Weyant (6) 5. Chris Urish (5) 6. Jerrod Hull (1)

Wagoner led the 6-lap distance. Hull was running second on lap two when he shot over the turn two cushion. He came back on the track in sixth.

B main (started): 1. Ryan Bunton (1) 2. Bobby Mincer (3) 3. Logan Faucon (2) 4. Harold Pohren (6) 5. Levi Curry (5) 6. Trent Beckinger (9) / 7. Chris Windom (8) 8. John Dines (4) 9. Vinny Ward (11) 10. Trey Datweiler (7) 11. Tommy Rockwell (10)

Bunton grabbed the early lead in the 12-lapper over Mincer and Faucon. Datweiler would spin with three laps in, bringing the only caution. Bunton led Mincer, Faucon, Curry and Pohren on the restart. Pohren would shoot to third when the green flag fell as the low side came in. Faucon would work back by him on lap five. Beckinger would make the feature field as an alternate after Nienhiser was unable to start. Dines and Datweiler were added as promoter’s provisionals.

A main (started): 1. Brian Brown (2) 2. Joey Moughan (3) 3. Jerrod Hull (6) 4. AJ Bruns (10) 5. Ben Wagoner (1) 6. John Schulz (13) 7. Chris Urish (5) 8. Dustin Selvage (8) 9. Ryan Bunton (16) 10.

Trey Datweiler (22, prov.) 18. Jake Blackhurst (12) 19. Korey Weyant (4) 20. Logan Faucon (18) 21. Harold Pohren (17) 22. Bobb Mincer (15) DNS – Paul Nienhiser

Pohren spun before a lap was completed after contact from another car. Wagoner led the first two laps of the 30-lapper before Pohren spun again with his front-end knocked out. Faucon also stopped and exited with rear-end issues. The restart saw Wagoner leading Brown, Moughan, Weyant and Urish. On lap four, Schneiderman shot under Urish for fifth from row five. On lap ten, Brown found his way under Wagoner in lapped traffic to take the lead. A lap later, Moughan followed him into second, and Schneiderman moved by Weyant for fourth. Schneiderman’s charge would continue as he took third from Wagoner on lap 14, and second from Moughan on lap 16. Blackhurst hit an infield tire and needed the hook with 16 laps down. Brown had two lapped cars between himself and Schneiderman, Moughan, Hull and Wagoner. The same would be true when Bunton spun shortly after the restart. On the green, Brown took off in clean air, while the lapped car of Datweiler got sideway and collected Schneiderman, who got upside down. The team would piece the car together and have him at the rear on the restart. He made a few laps before retiring. Brown took off again with Moughan and Hull in tow. That’s the way the race would end. Bruns moved up six spots to finish fourth, followed by Wagoner, Schulz with a late charge in his Jimmy Davies’ 360, Urish, Selvage, Bunton and Hall in his first run in the Northrop #83. Brown earned $3,000 for the win.
