In the 35-lap Grand American Modified race, Andrew Phipps earned the first win of the season by overcoming a full field inversion, holding off John Watkinson and Joe Ruggles.

In the 25-lap King Taco Legends series, a spin by the current champion, Tom Landreth, caused a nine-car collision on the opening lap, forcing a restart.

J.D. Hendley led for the entire race, holding off Art Nevill and Bob Landreth.
