Donnie Pearson, Dustin Griffiths and Derrick Agee were all sidelined with various degrees of damage. Todd Reitzler led the race flag to flag in scoring the feature win ahead of Pat Rachels and Jason McDaniel.

Webster pulled even with Cain coming to the checkers but Cain held on for a car length win. James Haring followed Webster across the line in third.

Justin Zimmerman was in town on Wednesday night with his non-wing sprinter all the way from Athens, Texas. Zimmerman was trying some new setups on his car in preparation for an upcoming tour, he found a setup he liked and drove to an impressive feature win in the 10 lap main event. Zimmerman took the win ahead of Ben Woods and Doug Sylvester.
