The Crazy Trains lived up to their name as feature one was crazy. Just after the green flag had flown the race track came under red for the second time in the evening due to Johnathon Bates #13 "The Rockford Rednecks" train had its middle car roll over in the

However on lap nine Cody and Jacob would come together in the entrance to turn three sending Jacob spinning and bringing out the yellow. When the green came back out Campbell was a man on a mission as he charged from the back of the field to the front to contest #15 Kaisha Zimoch from Delaware. On the last lap Campbell and Zimoch came together in turn four slowing Zimoch just enough that Campbell would take his second feature of the night. Second went to #15 of Kaisha Zimoch and third was the 29 of Tyler Arnel.

The second Pure Truck feature belonged all to Rick Book. Rick started from third place and by the exit of turn two was in the lead. From then on Rick set sail and would sweep both of the Pure Truck features. Second was Mike Becker #12. And third was #34 Tyler Arnold.

Doug Collins led for three laps but was overtaken by Tim Tolton in the #1. Tim would surrender the lead to the #44 Jacob Campbell who was quickly passed by #49 Jacob Sim. That was the last lead change as Jacob would bring the #49 into Victory Lane. #44 Jacob Campbell came second. Tim Tolton would round out the top three.

The Street Stocks returned to action promising to be better than ever with the #18 of Hunt and #20 Ryan having to battle from the middle of the pack if they wanted to win. Ryan and James would charge through the pack and eventually catch the leader #01 Travis Farrow from Dromore. However when James tried to pass Travis the cars came in contact sending Hunt spinning and getting hit by the #6 Rob Wark ending the #18 night. All that was left was Travis Farrow and Ryan Edwards-Kiss to battle for the rest of the feature. In the end Ryan just wasn't able to pass the #01 and has to settle for second on the event.
