Burks spun and backed into the wall staging for the heat. He would return for the feature. Reutzel would lead all 8 laps using the low side of the speedway. Babb passed Muths with two to go for third. Reutzel, Thoman, Clark and Chris Parkinson were the drivers doing double duty.

Heat two (started): 1. Riley Kreigel 90 (3) 2. Mitchell Moore 51 (7) 3. Katlynn Leer 8K (1) 4. Zach Daum 75K (8) 5. Clinton Boyles 77 (4) 6. JD Black 7L (6) 7. Kenny Potter 55 (9) 8. Chris Parkinson 65 (5) 9. Michael Ell 99 (2)

Kreigel shot under the front row to the lead the distance. Moore was the prime mover, coming from seventh to second on the first lap.

A main (started): 1. Boyles (10) 2. Kreigel (5) 3. Reutzel (4) 4. Thoman (9) 5. Daum (3) 6. Moore (6) 7. Parkinson (16) 8. Black (12) 9. Clark (14) 10. Potter (11) 11. Ell (17) 12. Leer (8) 13. Desselle (15) 14. Babb (1) 15. Johnson (13) 16. Muths (7) 17. Burks (18) DQ (Weight) Kitchen (2) (crossed third)

Babb led early over Kitchen and Daum in the 25-lapper. Kreigel used the cushon to pass Daum and move into the top three on lap three. Kitchen took the lead from Babb on lap four as the pair fought for the point. Illinois veteran Babb took the lead back on lap six, and Moore moved by Kitchen for second on lap seven in a feature with plenty of close racing. The pair battled for the runner-up spot and Kitchen took it back on lap 13. A lap later, Muths would flip on the front stretch, bringing out the red flag. He was unhurt. The restart saw Babb leading Kitchen, Moore, Boyles and Kreigel. Before another lap could get completed, Burks would come to a stop and exit on the hook. Boyles shot into third when the green fell again. He would then take second from Kitchen on lap 19. Johnson would flip hard in turn three on lap 21. He was uninjured as well. Babb led Boyles, Kitchen, Kreigel and Reutzel back to green. Kreigel passed Kitchen for third on the restart right before disaster struck the leader Babb, who had a right rear wheel break. Boyles assumed the lead and would not relinquish it. Kreigel finished second ahead of Kitchen, who was later DQed for being light at the scales. Reutzel inherited third ahead of Thoman and Daum.
