Dan Rihm led the opening circuit of the Street Stock main with Jeremy Wiitala taking the high side from the middle of the field into the lead by lap 2. Once in front, Wiitala opened a lead until a series of three cautions in the middle of the race bunched the pack. David Hoerning, Todd Everard, Bill Kelsey, Harley Simon and Matt Drawenek. After the final caution on lap 11, the green was out for the final time with Wiitala hooking up on the outside line and again pulling ahead while the battle for the spots behind was very tight. Simon finally settled into the runner up spot on lap 17 and faced a several length margin to catch the leader. He hooked up inside and reeled in the leader, pulling alongside in turn three coming in for the white flag.

The pair flashed under the flag side by side and on the final lap, Simon was able to pull ahead and come home for his third straight feature win. Wiitala took the second place finish with Everard crossing third, Kelsey fourth, point leader, Rod Solem fifth and Hoerning sixth. Following the race, Everard entered the claim area incorrectly and was dropped back in the finish to 18th, moving Mert Summers into sixth place.

Joe Rueter and Doug Klemp each led one of the first 2 laps in the Late Model main before Pete Parker claimed the top spot and started to drive away from the field. By the time the lone caution flew on lap 8, Troy Springborn, Terry Anvelink, Nick Anvelink, Justin Hirt and Klemp were well behind the leader. On the restart, Parker took a couple laps to regain his pattern and once again pulled away from the rest of the field to record his third feature win in the last 4 weeks. Springborn held on for the runner up finish with Terry and Nick Anvelink followed by Hirt and Klemp for the top six.

Mike Mullen took the lead at the start of the Budweiser IMCA Modified main and led the way through a couple cautions over the first 5 laps. Once the race stayed green, Mullen hooked up on the high side and was able to pull ahead while an exciting battle for the runner up spot held attention. Mike Wedelstadt and point leader, Jared Siefert, used every inch of track and swapped second over the next 7 laps, before Siefert was able to secure the spot and set out after the leader. It took a couple laps before Siefert used the inside line to take over the top spot and drive off for his first feature win here this season. It capped a three win weekend for the Green Bay driver.

Wedelstadt was able to take the runner up finish with Mullen taking third. David Werbelow, Benji LaCrosse and Eric Scribner round out the top six.

Dean Dekeyser took control of the Sound Check 4 Cylinder main with Jamie Miller taking over the top spot on lap 3 with Chad Guyette and Jake Wilcox following. Miller and Guyette hooked up in a great side by side battle for the lead and swapped the lead several times before a lone caution appeared on lap 13. Guyette was able to grab the lead on the restart and was able to open a slight lead over the final laps to claim his first ever division feature win here. Ralph Liegeois was able to wrestle the runner up spot away from Miller on the final lap with R.J. Liegeois finishing third, Andy Kleczka taking fifth and Jason Cornelius ending up in sixth.
