Pinkerton and Vanderbeek would be racing side-by-side for several laps with Pinkerton holding on to the lead until lap 12 when Vanderbeek would get by. Pinkerton wouldn't give up and continue to battle with Vanderbeek but it would all fall short as Vanderbeek would go on take his 2nd win of the season at Osky. Pinkerton, Mather, Damon Murty and Nathan Wood rounded out the top 5.

The final feature of the night was the Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds feature and it was Mark Widmar leading the first 2 laps before Tim Murty would take the top spot on lap 3.
