Halfway through the race, Carmichael, Jr. had to leave due to overheating and Staggs took the championship. Kenny Carmichael, Sr. was the race winner.
In the B-Mod race, Ed Roley took the feature win. Roley also clinched the points title.
Danny Schwartz led every lap to win the Modified feature. Carmichael, Sr., who was racing in two classes, won the points championship.
