For the restart Russell led Hays, Winkle, and Welschmeyer. Meanwhile, thirteenth-starting Richie Tosh moved into the top five in a consistent and patient run to the front. Clayton Campbell also moved into challenge by lap 16 shortly before caution flew at lap 17, Campbell moved as high as second before the race was red-flagged lap 20 for James Nighswonger’s roll-over on the backstretch, fortunately the driver was okay. The final ten laps were packed full of action and some restarts before the outcome was settled.

Brad Smith and Tim Karrick took the top two starting spots for the 20-lap B-Mod main with Smith grabbing the early race lead. However, third-starter Terry Schultz moved past Karrick and then Smith by lap three to take command of the race. Smith and Karrick then had a classic high and low battle for nearly the entire race for the second position behind Schultz out front. Yellow flag conditions flew for a second time by lap 11 with Schutlz leading Karrick, Smith, Stephen Clancy and Jeremy Lile in the top five. Schultz then put some distance on the battle for second as Smith regained that position by lap 14 over Karrick. Caution slowed the field one final time at lap 16. In the end, Schultz proved too strong on this night and went on to secure his 88th career CMS victory. Smith emerged as the runner-up in the fantastic battle for second over Karrick. Clancy took fourth with Lile fifth and Rylan Gibbs sixth.

A nice field of Midwest Mods were on hand for the main event with David Wood and Dylon Smith beginning the 15-lap main event up front. Although both drivers were quick at the front, it did not take long for Logan Roark to move into familiar territory at the front of the pack. Smith and Wood fought hard for the second spot with Brian Meyer and Dustin Dennison having an equally close battle for the fourth position. Roark drove away from the close battles behind him as Smith moved to second by lap 12 over Wood. Roark once again proved the man to beat as he collected his ninth CMS win of the season over Smith, Wood, Dennison, Meyer, and Alex Schultz in the top six.

1. 4D-David Doelz[2]; 2. 50-Leroy Morrison[1]; 3. 24-Bobby Russell[4]; 4. M87-Mallory Stiffler[3]

Unfortunately, only four cars were on hand for the Pure Stocks and just before the race went green, it was relayed to the drivers from owner Earl Walls that the class would be dropped if the car count did not pick up the following week as the drivers were encouraged to contact their Pure Stock peers to pass on the word and hopefully help save the class. Nevertheless, the race went green with David Doelz and Leroy Morrison leading the way. Bobby Russell quickly found his way to the front of the field and never looked back, eventually taking the lead from Doelz and going on to take his sixth victory of the year over Doelz, Morrison, and Mallory Stiffler.
