270 Micro Sprints, 15 Laps:
Jack Spence brings home a win … The 270 feature began with heat race winner Jack Spence on the pole with Pete Kulbacki lined up beside him. Spence grabbed the lead at the race start and did not surrender the position as he held on for the whole 15 laps. Points leader JT Knight, starting in 4th, was hoping to have a better feature race after mechanical problems have plagued the car for weeks. Knight put on a nice show as he charged forward to the front until a spin put him in the rear. He once again drove through traffic, making it as far as 2nd until the car gave out and once again he ended his race in the infield. The halfway point found Spence leading Justin Jones and James Cubbage through the turns. Spence settled in for a comfortable cruise to the finish line.

TUSA Mod-Lites, 20 Laps:
A big TUSA win for Mike Stratton … The TUSA points race had regulars Shawn Weber and Curt Miles Jr only a few points apart. The feature finishes would decide the final standings.

Stratton started in 2nd beside pole sitter Ty Short. Lots of contact in the front rearranged the field and the restart from Weber’s caution had Stratton and James Hill in the top two spots, racing hard, but after many cautions Hill’s car ended up in the infield due to mechanical issues.

NAPA Chargers:
Kyle Tubbs brings home the win and Championship…  Barrels and tires and cones…oh my. The chargers had all three flying as the racing was even more exciting than usual. Derek Swafford had the race lead from the pole position with Wayne White Jr on his heels. White took over the lead, leaving Swafford to battle side by side with Ashley Merritt for 2nd.  Kyle Tubbs began his race in the 8th position but in typical fashion made a great run through traffic avoiding cars and tires as well.

Tubbs made his way to the race lead using the high and low grooves of the track and brought home another feature win along with the points win.  Complete results are: 1) 60, Kyle Tubbs 2) 1, Joe Carey  3) 61, Ashley Merritt  4) 27W, Tyler White 5) 27, Jay Sipple 6) 3, Jay Worth  7) 6, Matt Long  8) 89, Derek Swafford (DNF)  9) 18, Wayne White Jr (DNF)   10) 88, Joe Waters (DQ)   11) X, Jeff Carey (DQ)
