Nine entries saw Jewell be the Bob Allen Motor Mall top qualifier at 13.828 seconds, while Watson would win the Country 100.9 MIKE FM heat.
Jimmy Payne would outduel Michael England for the lead in the early stages of the 20 lap Bluegrass Drug Store Modified main event and survive four caution flags to grab the victory in the seat of the Richard Harlow owned Maximum Energy Development/Barren River Pest Control/Paintless Dent Repair/Diamond Auto Collision/Young’s Barber Shop sponsored #K1 Bandit Race Car powered by a Niebel Race Engine. Benji Lee would take second position at the finish, while J.T. Ayers would turn in a strong performance with a third place effort, with Elliott Despain nipping Brent Denny at the finish for fourth. Twelve entries would see Lee be the Bob Allen Motor Mall top qualifier at 14.950 seconds, while Inter County Energy heat race wins fell to Michael England and Payne.
Todd Coffman would only be slowed by a caution flag with six laps remaining in route to claiming his fifth Smith Automotive Machine Shop FASTRAK Late Model feature victory of the season driving the Sharon Coffman owned Premier Self Storage/Auto Connection/Muffler Shop/All Star Racewear/Spears Construction/Coffman’s Photography/Archie’s Tire Center/Harrod Farms/Todd’s Body Shop/Wilson Equipment sponsored #35 Rocket Chassis powered by a GM604 engine. Jake Henry would take runner-up honors, while rookie driver Chris Fair would claim a third place finish. Gary Yeager and Cole Bland would complete the top five after a last-lap tangle between the duo.
