on the leader. Jared Boumeester slowly worked his way into the top five as

Hernandez. Davis and Boumeester followed Young across the line as the
Midwest Modifieds ran the first caution free feature of the season.

held on for second while Dustin Nelson moved up to race Schultz for third.

through before complete blockage occurs. The crash ended the night for
Queensland, Schultz, Tony Bloom and Nelson. On the restart Eischens again
took the lead as Dave Mass who made it through the wreck unscathed now ran
in second. Brauer was able to take his crinkled mount and keep going in
third ahead of Solum and Now Mike Loomis in fifth. The final six laps saw

corners. Mass Was able to keep gaining as the laps wound down. Coming to the
white Mass showed his nose to the inside out of four as he was quicker in
three and four but Eischens was faster in one and two and moved out front
again. As they came to the checkers Mass made a last push down low and
pulled alongside at the checkers with Eischens taking the win by .241
