Polesitter Matt Murphy brought the field to the green of the special $1,000-to-win 25-lap Late Model feature and took the lead.  Justin Ehrhart, Randy Christine Jr and J.R. Rodriguez pursued Murphy early in the race.  On the seventh circuit, Ehrhart got by Murphy to take the lead.  In the later stage of the race, runner-up Christine Jr. tried to track down Ehrhart.  At the end Ehrhart took the checkers by half a starighaway over Christine and J.R. Rodriguez in third.  Chase Billet finished in fourth, followed by Billy Wampler in fifth.  Rodriguez and Wampler were the heat race winners.  
 
Polesitter Eddie Richards took the early lead of the Street Stock 20-lap feature with many challengers in tow.  Potts scooted by Richards on lap 5 to take the top spot away.  With the help of a few cautions and double file restarts, Chris Derr started 19th and moved into the top spot past Potts seven laps into the race.  However, mechanical failure forced Derr from the race after leading three laps.  The beneficiary was Richards who inherited the lead on lap 10.  Richards battled Potts side-by-side for the remainder of the race with Jasen Geesaman very close behind.  A caution on lap 19 set up a one-lap shoot-out for the win.  On the restart, Richards continued to lead and took his first win of the season.  Geesaman was able to get by Potts to take the runner-up spot with Potts settling for third place.  Scott Thunberg finished fourth and Jim Palm Jr. rounding out the top five.  Geesaman and Potts were heat race victors.    
 
In the 20-lap PA Sprint Series feature race, Nathan Gramley took the lead at the start from the pole position.  Gramley led the first 12 circuits until Eric Parker made the move past him to take the lead.  Once in front, Parker never looked back and went on to claim the victory over runner-up Kody Lehman.  Gramley settled for third with Colby Dcie coming across the line in fourth.  Mike Wagner II rounded out the top five.  Heat race winners were Wayne Dadetto, Gramley and Parker.
 
The 20-lap Xtreme Stock Car feature event had the polesitter Jim Jacobs lead the first three circuits until Patrick McClane took over the top spot on lap 4.  Davey Nester took over the top spot on lap 14.  A caution flag on lap 19 set up a one lap dash to the finish.  On the restart, Nester continued to lead.  As the field exited turn four when Matt Wampler drove into the side of Patrick McClane causing a melee behind him.  With the checkered already flying for Nester who took the victory, John Frye came across the line in second before the caution was displayed along with the checkered.  The final finish had Nester taking the win with John Frye in second.  The remainder of the finish reverted back to the last completed lap which was lap 19.   Patrick McClane was awarded third, followed by Todd Knaub in fourth and Joe Racine rounding out the top five.  Matt Wampler was penalized to the rear of the lead lap for his actions on the track.  Heat race winners were Ramsey, Davey Nester and Palm.    
 
Daryl Sipe took the lead on the start of the Road Warrior 15 lapper with Ricky Weaver Jr. close behind.  As the leaders came up on lapped traffic, Weaver took the lead on lap 11.  Sipe did not give up and challenged to the end in lapped traffic.  Weaver took the win by half a car length over Sipe.  Tom Senseney finished third.  Kyle Rohrbaugh and Robert Wellman finished fourth and fifth respectively.  Wellman, Brown and Sipe were heat race winners.
