As the evening began Jason Atkinson held a slim lead of seven points in the Sullivan RV CRA Late Model Sportsman Championship Points race over Keith Sterkowitz.　 Sterkowitz put the pressure on him before the feature started as the All Star Performance Fast Qualifier Sterkowitz earned erased Atkinson's lead.　 Sterkowitz then drew an eight for the invert, putting Danny Trent on the pole with Terry Cater on the outside of the front row.

The race started with a bang when the pole sitter and race leader at the time, Trent, spun as he exited the fourth turn on his way to completing the first lap. Most drivers were able to avoid him, but Rich Segvich slid into his door with David Campbell driving under Segvich, leaving Segvich’s right rear tire sitting on the base of Campbell’s left front windshield. Campbell returned to action after his crew franticly tore off the body on the left front. He would continue to finish on the lead lap. Segvich could not return. Fifth fastest qualifier Brandon Phillips was forced to pull off on the warm-up laps following the accident as his right rear axel broke and came out as he pulled into the infield.
