lap 5, when Brandon Symmonds who started 5th moved under him to grab the top
spot. Symmonds continued to lead, as Dean Kratzer moved up to challenge him
for the top spot. Symmonds, who was running the bottom, and Kratzer, who was
up top, ran laps 8-12 side-by-side. Kratzer would take the advantage on lap
13, but Symmonds would come back to grab the lead back on lap 14. Symmonds

after a flat tire early, following in second. Gillenwater then held off
Dunker over the final lap to claim the feature. Evans Sr. was third, Taylor
held on for fourth, with Jerad Fuller charging from 18th to claim fifth.
Heat race wins went to Dunker, Joe Hooper and Evans Sr.

battling for second. VanGenderen would slip under Holt on lap 4 to take over
the top spot, with Holt trying to hold off Matt Greiner, who started 8th,
for second. VanGenderen would give the lead up on lap 6 when Greiner slipped
under him, but VanGenderen came back on the top to take the lead back on lap
7. Greiner slipped back into the lead on lap 8 and then held off VanGenderen
to claim another feature win in 2008. Nick Fenton would come home in third,
