(KAUKAUNA, WI) Frank Kreyer took home the checkered flag in the 35-lap late model feature. Kreyer started the race from the pole position, took the lead on the first lap and never looked back, finishing 1.428 seconds ahead of Lowell Bennett. Caution slowed the event twice, allowing for several restarts. Kreyer held off Nate Van Wychen and Tim Rothe and moved out ahead of the field to a comfortable lead. Van Wychen had to pit on the second caution, but was able to rejoin the field. Further back, Terry Baldry worked his way from tenth position to sixth, following the final restart and continued to pass Jordan Thiel and Andy Monday, before he settled into third position, after Rothe dropped off the pace. As Kreyer took the victory, he was followed by Bennett, Baldry, Monday, and Van Wychen. Baldry takes over the points lead, after Jeff Van Oudenhoven was involved in an accident in the dash with Doug Mahlik, who were both unable to compete in the feature. Baldry holds a 12 point lead over Bennett.

In limited late model action, Andrew Kluck won the 20-lap feature after Jack Pankratz who had led from the start spun in turn three with just two laps remaining. Kluck had been pursuing Pankratz in the closing laps, looking to pass Pankratz on the inside as the two entered turn three. Kluck took the restart from the front of the field, holding off Rod Brewe and Gary Natrop. On the final lap, Brewe and Natrop made contact, bringing out the final caution. Corey Kemkes finished second, followed by Tanner Bohlen, Jesse Oudenhoven, and Donald Van Camp. Bohlen takes the points lead, atop of Brandon Conrad by four points.
