Korves held the lead with Ponder right on his bumper lap after top until lap 15.

With five laps to go, Ponder tried to make his move in turn four, but that did not work out too well and he tried a slide job and got into the outside wall hard and was done for the night. Then it was Bittle’s turn to try Korves for the win. Korves would go on and win his first feature of the year at Belle Clair Speedway. Bittle, Chris Smith, Seger and Tyler Diebert would complete the top five.

In the B Modified class, there were 13 cars competing. Heat race winners were Mike Jones and T.J. Frazier. The 15 lap feature started with Jimmy Cummins and Mark Clary on the front row. With the beginning of the race, Cummins would jump to the front with Clary, Jones Tim Hancock and Frazier giving chase.
