Wade Taylor would draw the pole starting position of the feature and would jump out to the early race lead on the opening start. The Elko, Nevada native would have the field covered as he kept his mount in front of the pack and win the feature. Taylor would become the sixth different winner of the week, sixth different Mod Speedweek winner at Willamette, nineteenth different winner with the Wild West Modified Shootout, and is the first driver from the state of Nevada to win a race with the series.
