Inother action, the first feature of the night went to the Gagel Open-Wheel Modifieds. After a couple of early cautions, Bruce Harvey snatched the lead away from John Inman and pulled a five car length advantage over the field.

Inman was able to pick up the win with Harvey crossing the stripe in second. Dale Kelley, Austin Sanders and Dave Pollen, Jr. rounded out the top five. The two heat races were won by Dave Pollen, Jr. and Bill Howard.
