APPERT HANGS ON TO WIN FIRST CAREER FEATURE VICTORY
Outside pole sitter Karlie Hoerner grabbed the lead from pole sitter, Mitch Gordon, in the Hobby Stock feature. Hoerner led early until she lost a tire while leading, collecting Mitch Gordon, Curt Michaelsohn and Mike Appert. That handed the lead over to Derrick Appert and on the restart, Appert pulled away. As the race wound down, Appert started catching the tail end of the field, allowing second place Mike Appert and Daniel Kaseman to reel him in. When the checkered flag waved, Derrick Appert held off the field at the finish line to win his first career feature win. Mike Appert just narrowly edged Daniel Kaseman for second. Bill Hultberg finished fourth while Jeremy Engelhardt finished fifth.
