Heat race victories went to Jeff Shackleford and 2007 World Champion and current series point leader, Doug Greig.
The front row starters of Dane Laster and Chris Green lead the field to the green flag with Greenassuming the point right from the beginning. Green would continue to lead the early laps as intersectionaction quickly developed early in the event. After being pressured by veteran Rich Fenwick, Fenwick tookover the top spot 1/3 of the way throughout the event and began to build a sizeable lead. The battle for second through fifth place made for incredible racing with heavy lapped traffic with intersection action throughout most of the event. Van Meter battled Doug Greig, Jeff Shackleford, Chris Green, and Corey Turner as he slowly worked his way to the top spot. With roughly only twenty laps left, Van Meter usedlapped traffic to get around race leader, Rich Fenwick and would hold the top spot the last twentylaps of the event to claim the victory. The margin of victory over Fenwick was 1.641 seconds. Roundingout the top five were: Chris Green, Corey Turner, and Charlie Hargraves.
