Defending track champion Brad Mueller (#89) works bast Dennis Prunty (#42) on his way to a second place finish in the Late Model main event. A gathering in the corner slowed the Late Model feature as Fred Winn(#75), John Mueller (#23), Mike Egan (#89) and Conrad Morgan (#92) get collected. Dave Feiler (#93) turned in the fast qualifying effort of the day. Feiler would climb to sixth at the finish of the Late Model feature event.

Terry Beeson (#48) captured the first Slinger Bee main event.... While Robin Van Hoff Jr. (#56) gathered up the checkered flag in the second Slinger Bee race.

Schill started from the fifth position and immediately began to battle Dennis Prunty for the early lead while Eric Fransen and Dave Teske raced close behind. Schill made numerous attempts to get around Prunty on the low side, but Prunty had the high side working early and each time was able to maintain his lead while Teske began to reel in the leaders from third place. A spin by Mike Egan that collected numerous other cars produced the first caution flag on lap 19 with Prunty leading Schill, Teske, Brad Mueller, and Fransen. Soon after racing resumed, the pace was slowed again when David Prunty spun and was clipped by Tom Hromadka on lap 23.

Schill once again charged to the inside on the restart and made another serious bid for the lead on Prunty while further back, Dave Feiler advanced into the top six. Schill’s persistence finally paid off on lap 31 as he was able to race by Prunty for the lead while Teske and Mueller went door to door for third. Once out front, Schill began to ease away from the field while Mueller’s charge forward continued as he took third place from Teske on lap 48.

Two laps later, Mueller used the outside to sweep around Prunty for second while Schill extended his lead. Schill could not be caught over the final laps as he charged to his second feature win of the season over Mueller and Prunty. Teske ran a strong race and came home with a solid fourth place finish while Lowell Bennett made a late charge through the field to finish fifth. Feiler took the checkered flag in sixth followed by Fransen, Austin Konetski, Travis Dassow, and Mike Strupp.

Gregg Haese drove to the win in the 30-lap late model semi-feature to transfer into the main event along with second place finisher Scott Schoeni. Chris Ratajczyk was third followed by Randy Schuler and Mark Bitzan. Mueller won the fast dash and Feiler set fast time at 11.398 seconds.

Wes Biswell won the Eldorado Trailer Sales Midwest Modified feature that was shortened to 21 laps due to a rain shower that would eventually wash out the remaining races.

Steve Schulz jumped into the lead at the start over Ken Wills and Russ Moberly. Schulz led the opening laps as Biswell sliced through the field, taking third place from Moberly on lap eight. By lap 15, Biswell had caught and passed Wills for second while Schulz continued to lead. Biswell ran down Schulz and took the lead just before Dale Prunty slowed on lap 18 and brought out the caution flag. Biswell kept his lead as racing resumed for two more laps before the skies opened up and the race was halted. Schulz finished second followed by Wills, Jeff Holtz, and Ron Schmitt.

Earlier in the evening, Schulz won a wild modified dash and Dan Miller was the fastest qualifier at 12.302 seconds.

Mike Graczkowski was the winner of the Midwest Sportsman fast dash and James Swan set fast time by touring the speedway in 12.583 seconds.
