Kevin Blackburn took off to lead at the onset of the 20-lap scramble, a race to determine the first six rows for Sunday’s $5,000-to-win finale. Fifth-starting Rodney Sanders moved into second by lap six of the race but soon after was sidelined with mechanical woes retiring to the pits. By lap seven, Gunner Martin moved from eleventh into second. From this point forward it was a fierce battle between Blackburn and Martin as the drivers mastered the low and high lines to separate themselves from the remainder of the field. Inside the top five at the midway mark were Dennis Elliott, Dean Wille, and Jason Pursley. The final five laps of the event featured close action throughout the field, especially for the lead as Blackburn held on to a slim lead over Martin. Coming for the white flag, the pair were nearly side-by-side at the line. On the final circuit, it was imminent the finish was going to be close, and it was, as Martin made his way to the lead by 0.079 seconds to claim the victory over Blackburn. The two fought hard and clean for the win with Martin gaining pole-position for the finale with Blackburn earning outside pole honors. Wille finished third with tenth-starting Randal Schiffelbein, Jr. advancing to fourth. Joining these drivers in the first six rows for Sunday’s finale are Elliott, Pursley, Tim Karrick, Johnny Fennewald, Dustin Hodges, Rick Beebe, Rodney Schweizer, and Jessy Willard.

Ted Welschmeyer and Derek Henson led the Super Stock field to green for their 20-lap main event with Henson assuming command of the event. Behind the leader, three and sometimes four-wide racing was going on as Brett Wood, Cody Frazon and Colon Bourland raced for position. By lap five, Henson and Welschmeyer began to pull away from the frantic third-place battle. Welschmeyer passed Henson for the lead at lap five but soon after the caution flag flew. As the race resumed, Welschmeyer led Henson and Bourland, who began his charge to the front. Just passed the halfway marker Bourland put pressure on Welschmeyer at the front, eventually grabbing the lead as Marc Carter, Henson, and Nathan Vaughn, who recovered from an early race spin raced hard for third position. At the checkers, it was Bourland claiming his first-ever CMS victory with Welschmeyer second, ninth-starting Marc Carter third, sixteenth-starting Vaughn recovered to fourth, with Devin Irvin fifth.

Brad Smith and Bill Small led the B-Mod field to green for their 20-lap main event with Smith grabbing the point at the start. After a pair of early race yellows, Smith maintained the lead over Jacob Ebert, Shadren Turner, Small, and Terry Schultz. By lap five, the leaders began distancing themselves from the rest of the field. Just past halfway, Turner began searching the high line for a way around Smith, but the leader maintained his low line and kept the lead. After one last restart at lap 17, Smith held point at front while Turner, Ebert, and Schultz had an outstanding battle trying to sort out second. When the leaders crossed the line, it was Smith who earned the victory, his 39th career win at CMS. Turner settled for the runner-up spot with tenth-starting Schultz making his way to third late in the race. Ebert was fourth with ninth-starting Patrick Royalty turning in a strong performance to round out the top five.

Jason Ryun and Spencer Reiff have been strong so far this season with multiple victories and the pair once again found themselves leading the way at the start of the Pure Stock 15-lap main event. Ryun grabbed the lead and held on to it, but Reiff put the pressure on as the pair pulled away from the field through lapped traffic. Several cautions slowed the field over the final circuits, but Reiff put pressure on the leader at lap 11 on the high side while tenth-starting Bobby Russell advanced to third. Ryun survived the pressures of Reiff and several more caution flags to eventually capture his 30th career CMS victory with Reiff second, and Russell third. David Doelz advanced from thirteenth on the grid to claim fourth while fourteenth-starting Cameron Kelly took fifth.
