Dixon who started in eighth, ran his Blue Ribbon Farms #2 in the high groove and was not at all intimidated by the veterans.

Daryl Smith led the field of 360 Sprints to Julian Mullis' green flag, but Casey Johnson took the lead from Smith coming out of turn 2 and looked like he would claim his third win of the season, however a yellow bunched the field up and Sport Allen took the lead from Johnson on lap 9 and easily cruised home the winner in the Mulligan Motorsports Mopar powered #3. Johnson held on for second over Joe Melnick, Brian Maddox and Daryl SMith. Heats went to Casey Johnson and Sport Allen.
In the Wingless Sprints it looked like Larry Brazil Jr. would have his first career win, however a post race inspection found that Brazil had an illegal tire on the car thus getting DQ'd giving the win to Tim George over Ken Laureno,Clyde Poole, Frank Beck III and John Retzlaff. Heat wins went to Brazil and Tim George.
