Cory Krueger started on the pole and led the opening laps of the Sprint feature. He battled with Cody Hansen for the lead. Brent Vonk moved up to challenge Hansen for second. After eight laps Krueger spun out and collected Hansen which brought out the red flag. This turned the race lead over to Vonk who led the remaining laps. Jody Rosenboom was gaining on Vonk in the closing laps. By the final two laps Rosenboom was challenging for the lead. Vonk held on and won his second race of the weekend. He had picked up the win Friday night at Rapid Speedway. Rosenboom finished in second while Randy Droescher came in third.

Jesse Akkerman got by Gary Brown Jr for third and moved on to try and get by Scott Overgaard for second. In the closing laps Akkerman moved up to challenge Chad Overgaard for the race lead.

Brown ended up in third and Matt Steuerwald got by Scott Overgaard for fourth.
Gerod Olivier started on the pole and led the first four laps of the Heartland Racing Association Wingless Sprint car feature. John Kaiser and Bret Mellenberndt battled for the second position.

He led eleven laps. Tieszen had the race lead stolen from him on the last lap by Winesburg. Tieszen came in second while Bahr finished in third. Steve Eliason came in fourth and Jon DeBoer finished in fifth.
Aaron Penning, Todd Penning, David Beman Jr, Zeb Larsen, and Jared Nytroe were all involved in an incident on lap one of the Hobby Stock feature. When the race started Tony Guischer held the race lead. Both Aaron and Todd Penning were challenging for fourth by lap two. Aaron was up to third by lap four and second by lap five.

Curtis Hansen took the second spot while Travis Morris stayed in front of Nytroe for third. Nytroe came back from a flat tire to finish in fourth. Todd Penning rounded out the top five.
Brandon Nytroe led all eight laps of the Factory Stock feature. It was a dominating performance that led to this young driver’s first win.

Greg Pettersen came in third while Tyler Hutchkiss finished in fourth. Larry Buckneberg completed the top five.
