(KAUKAUNA, WI) Terry Baldry took home his third feature win of the season in the 35-lap late model feature, sponsored by Stockbridge Engineering. Baldry started the race from the fourth position, falling in line behind Mark Schroeder, Andy Monday, and Kyle Calmes. Schroeder took the early lead, as Monday and Calmes battled for second position. Baldry passed Calmes on lap two and began to work to the inside of Monday. The two raced side by side as Baldry took the position away from Monday on lap eight. Schroeder had pulled out to a sizeable lead, as Baldry was now in pursuit of the leader. The two ran single file, until the caution flag came out on lap 27. As the green flag came out, Schroeder and Baldry started side-by-side, but Baldry was able to inch ahead of Schroeder and pull out in front of him as the two worked through the first turn. Baldry continued to lead the remaining nine laps, as the race finished under caution, once Baldry had taken the white flag. Schroeder finished second, followed by Calmes, Jeff Van Oudenhoven, and Frank Kreyer. Van Oudenhoven leads the point standings by four points over Baldry.

The limited late model feature was marred by cautions, the first coming out on lap four as Donald Van Camp and Jeff Tisler tangled on the backstretch. On the restart, caution came out again as Mike Meyerhofer Jr and Gary Natrop got together coming out of turn four. The second restart allowed Brent Strelka to line-up next to leader Andrew Kluck. Kluck continued to lead and was challenged by Greg Hauser, until the caution came out again on lap seven for a spin involving Tanner Bohlen. Again, Kluck jumped out of the lead, but caution came out on the backstretch as multiple cars including Jack Pankratz, Brad Anthony, and T. J. Lamers made contact. The final caution of the night came out on lap ten as Kluck and Hauser made contact in turn one, spinning in front of the field. Strelka drove around the two to take the lead, but the red flag came out as multiple cars made impact in turn one. After a lengthy red flag, Strelka was declared the winner, finishing the race under caution. Rod Brewe finished second followed by Corey Kemkes, Jesse Oudenhoven, and Robert Danes. Brandon Conrad remains the point leader by eight points over Bohlen.

Corey Manders led the first 14 laps of the Super Stock feature, until he spun after contact with Erik Turner. Brandon Wittmann assumed the lead, holding off Ed Howard for the victory.
