The speedway always runs a full night of events for its finale , and puts up some good money for our series. The format was set by the speedway with each car taking time trials and then two twenty lap features. After hot laps were complete and the sprint cars were ready to line up for time trials. Their would be two cars on track at a time and Chris Donnelly set the fast time of 12.68 in his #17 Fornwalt Excavation machine. Followed by Will Hull In his #61 Dave's Plumbing and Heating ride. With Jim Lowery Jr going third in his #71 Lowery Automotive sponsored sprint car. Fast time was awarded $100 by Bear Ridge Speedway and Donnelly also got to draw the invert number for the first feature's lineup. The invert number was six. So as the first feature was set to go it was the 73 of Jake Williams on the pole along side was the 31B of Clay Dow. Williams jumped out front for the first two laps as fourth place starter Lowery worked his way by. Williams settled in for second , as Dow , Donnelly , and Hull tried to track him down. At the half way point Lowery had a good lead over the field and the race went twenty green flag laps as Jim Lowery picked up the win , followed by Jake Williams, Chris Donnelly , Will Hull, Clay Dow. Teams went to the pit area to make changes to set ups and get ready for their second twenty lap race. The full field was inverted which put the 41 Rick Stone on the pole along side of the 4 of Wade Prentice. Prentice would get the jump and lead the first few laps. On lap six the 23B of Travis Billington would get the lead and pull away. Their was a lot of action mid pack as the first race leaders were working their way through the field.
