Mike Chasteen, Jr. won his first-ever UMP Modified feature in a caution-filled race which ended up with only 7 cars running at the end. Mark Johnson led from the start of the race, but mechanical difficulties slowed the car on the backstretch. As Johnson tried to his slowing car out of harms way, a 4-car pileup occurred on lap 5. Chasteen out-gunned Tommy Duncan on the restart, and won be nearly a straightaway. Duncan finished 2nd, with Floyd Jordan, Jr., Chris Morefield and Eric Bruce rounding out the top 5.
An elated Chasteen got a hug from his dad, 30-year racing veteran Mike Chasteen in victory lane. “This feels great to finally get a win”, said Chasteen, Jr. “We made a few changes to the car for the feature and it all worked out great. This is a huge weight off my shoulders to get that first win.”
