J.C. Wyman and Brian Kosiski took the top two starting spots to begin the SLMR main event, with Wyman leading Tad Pospisil, Dylan Sillman, Chad Holladay, and Brian Kosiski by lap five. A yellow flag slowed the field at lap six and again on lap eight. After this point, an intense battle inside the top five ensued between Wyman, Pospisil, Holladay and Andrew Kosiski with Pospisil eventually claiming the top spot. The leaders safely made their way through lapped cars until a lap 22 caution slowed the field one final time. When racing resumed, just three laps were left as drivers raced hard for the victory. On this night, Pospisil proved the man to beat as he held off a late-race charge by Holladay to claim the win. Holladay was second at the line followed by Wyman, Andrew Kosiski, and Jesse Sobbing.

Mike Striegel and Terry Schultz captured front-row starting spots for the 20-lap B-Mod main with Schultz narrowly holding a lead over Striegel through the early stages of the race. A lap-five restart saw Schultz holding the top spot followed by Cody Brill, Striegel, and the Clancy Brothers, Steve, and Chad. Striegel made things interesting at the front challenging Schultz for several laps and through a series of yellow flags by lap 12 with Schultz still clinging on to the lead over Striegel and Brill. The last fourth of the race was slowed by several cautions as Schultz eventually fought off all challengers for the win. Striegel was strong until a handful of laps to go as he encountered problems in turn four, relegating himself to the pit. In the end, Schultz once again proved too he’s the man to beat at CMS in the B-Mods this year. Veteran Tim Karrick advanced from seventh on the field to cash in on a strong second-place finish with Brill in third. The Brothers Clancy completed the top five with Chad fourth and Stephen, even with a broken left front, finishing in fifth.
