Heats were ten laps in distance with the top two finishers heading to the Dash. Henderson shot out to the early lead, while Swindell shot by Martin into second right away. Glaser exited on lap one, and Schulz on lap six. Juhl lost a left rear wheel and cartwheeled into the fence, crashing wildly. He would be o.k. and the team would thrash and get him ready for the A.

Madsen jumped into the lead right away and held it the distance. Despite getting heat from Dobmeier, Dollansky held onto the final Dash transfer.

Haud shot to the lead right away over Abreu who got by Peterson early. Blaney was running fourth with two to go, when he slowed drastically. He was able to take the checkers in sixth. Rustad exited on lap six.
Dash (started): 1. Ian Madsen (1) 2. Craig Dollansky (2) 3. Sammy Swindell (5) 4. Jac Haudenschild (3) 5. Rico Abreu (4) 6. Justin Henderson (6)

Before a lap could be completed, Phillips got into the turn four wall and flipped. He was ok. Schulz lost a nose wing at the same time and went to the work area. Madsen jumped into an early lead in the 30-lapper over Swindell and Dollansky. With six laps in the books, Hafertepe spun in turn two bringing caution. Madsen had the lapped car of Juhl between he and Swindell, Dollansky, Abreu and Haudenschild. Blaney retired druing the caution as well. The lead quartet remained the same through heavy traffic. Swindell made a bid for the lead when Madsen had trouble lapping Hafertepe on lap 19. At that point, Henderson got into the turn two wall and flipped. He was ok. Madsen held his lead and appeared to be closing on the win, when Dollansky blew a right rear tire on the last lap. The restart saw Madsen leading Swindell, Abreu, Haud and McCarl. The green, white, checker finish saw Madsen hold on for his second All Star win at Huset’s in as many years, and Abreu grabbed second from Swindell on the last lap. The track was racy from top to bottom, with Madsen making a number of good moves in traffic to win it.
