Merced Speedway. The special race was part of the annual Merced County Fair. Rose took over the lead on lap eight after early leader Ricky Thatcher had an infield excursion off the back stretch and slipped back to second. Rose had late pressure from Kyle Wilson, but he kept his cool to take his first win of the season. K. Wilson and was a close second ahead of Thatcher, John MacDougall and Robby Jeppesen.
