For the 2nd night in a row the Southern Iowa Speedway would see the roar of engines on KBOE Radio, Pepsi-Mountain Dew Memphis Bottling Company and Titan Machinery Night at the Southern Iowa Fair depsite temperatures getting over 100 degrees. The race fans that came out would not be surprised.
First feature of the night was the Autocrafters/Whalen Racing IMCA Sport Compacts 8 lap feature and it was again Dallas Chandler driving Bill Whalen Jr's car. Chandler would lead all 8 laps and take the 3rd win in a row. Bill Whalen Jr. finished 2nd, Merv Chandler was 3rd, John Whalen was 4th and Duayne Herb was 5th.
In the Tracy Elevator IMCA Hobby Stock feature it was Dustin Griffiths taking the lead but behind him the battle was really heating up as on lap 6, Shannon Anderson and Keving Fee would get together coming off of turn 4 and Fee's car would go on its side while driving on the wall, Fee would get it back on 4 wheels just as the yellow would come out. Fee would go to the work area and Anderson sent to the tail for questionable driving. When the race resumed it was Griffiths still continuing to lead it and Mike Hughes would get to 2nd until Anderson would take the 2nd spot on lap 13 but just as Anderson got to the start line he would have a flat tire sending him to the pits. Griffiths would take his 3rd win of the season at Osky and 2nd win of the week. Hughes was 2nd, Donavon Nunnikhoven was 3rd, Danny Thrasher was 4th and Bobby Greene was 5th.
Carter's Manufacturing IMCA Stock Cars saw Nathan Wood, back in his car take the early lead but staying right there behind him was Todd Reitzler and Matt Greiner. Wood would lead the first 4 laps easily but then the caution would come out for Reitzler going off the backstretch in turn 3. On the reestart it was Wood still leading but Greiner woudl make the move on lap 6, Wood would also get passed by Damon Murty and Colt Mather as well. Greiner out front leading until the next race caution on lap 9, this time for Todd Phillips going of the backstretch. Greiner would get a great restart but it was Damon Murty going off turn 3 on lap 12. Greiner would now have to deal with Zack Vanderbeek. Vanderbeek would make the pass and take the lead and not look back. Greiner, Mather, Brad Pinkerton and Wood rounded out the top 5.
The Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds saw Kyle Strickler known as "The High Side Tickler" from Mooresville, North Carolina take the lead but then the caution would fly twice on lap 4, first for Devin Havlik spinning out on the bottom side of the front stretch and then again on the restart on the backstretch which also involved Greg Cox and Ryan Cook. Strickler still lead but then on lap 7, he would be passed by Jacob Murray. It was Murray leading until lap 12 because just as Murray came across the line, he saw his engine expire he would coast it to a rest in turn 3 forcing the caution to come out. Stickler would inherit the lead and lead the remaining 8 laps to take the win. Josh Most would try to pass Stickler on the topside because Strickler was on the bottom but failed and would settle for 2nd, Todd Shute was 3rd, Brandon Banks was 4th and Andrew Schroeder was 5th.
Final Feature of the night was the Pyramid Graphics and Sports IMCA SportMods and it was Jesse Sobbing leading from start to finish in the feature that would go green-to-checkered 15 laps. For Sobbing it was win number 7 at Osky, Brett Lowry was 2nd, Curtis Vanderwal was 3rd, Ben Kates was 4th and Eric Flander was 5th.
