Well the night brought 5 classes in action to take to the big half mile race track the Highway 3 Raceway in Allison. A night that might be questionable if it would happen or not but the highway 3 raceway track crew didn't panic they moved right along rather quickly to keep the show moving to prevent mother nature from winning and it worked out just fine. The night's sponsor was Lincoln Savings Bank.
First out on the track was the Stock Cars for their 12 lap feature, only 8 cars signed in so the top 4 in the heat race would redraw for position. Tory Reicks jumped out to the lead from his pole starting spot and lead the first lap but after the completion of the lap, the caution came out for Ryan Leeman stopping in turn 1 after trying to avoid hitting Arlin Hoy, who was trying to go to the infield. Hoy would pull in to the infield, Leeman would exit off the back stretch. Reicks brought the field back to green and he would go on to the win with Mitch Hovden in 2nd, Cody Henkes in 3rd, Jake Ludeking in 4th and Mike Wiemann in 5th. Heat winner was Reicks.

Sam Halstead jumped to the early race lead but after one lap was in the books the caution would come out for Rick Dralle spinning in the bottom of turn 4. When the race restarted Halstead continued to lead despite holding off many challenges from Al Johnson until Johnson made the pass on lap 7. Johnson would be followed by Terry Neal, Neal would pass Johnson on lap 9. Neal would look to pace the field and dodge the back markers of the field and then a caution came out on lap 23 when Leon Thomsen made contact with the turn 1 and 2 fence. On the restart, Ray Guss Jr. in the Hershel Roberts owned car would make the pass for the lead on lap 25 but then Deery Brothers Summer Series Point Leader Jeff Aikey would make the pass for the lead on lap 28. Guss wouldn't give up as he would pass Aikey on lap 31 and go on to the win, Aikey would finish 2nd, Neal would end up 3rd, Rob Toland would finish 4th and Sam Halstead would end up 5th.
