First feature of the night was the 15 lap IMCA Northern SportMods event. Kurt Hogan jumped out to the early lead and appeared to be heading on to that win until Dysart's Sam Wieben chase him down. Wieben made the move and took the top spot away on lap 12 when Hogan bobbled that also allowed Brett Lowry to sneak by for second. Wieben went on to become the seventh different SportMod Hogan Memorial Winner. Lowry was second, Hogan was third, Tony Olson was fourth and Kip Siems was fifth.
The IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature saw Nathan Ballard grabbed the lead on the opening lap only to see the caution come out when Brett Vanous came to a stop in turn four. On the restart, Jordan Peters had a flat tire which sent him rolling off the top of turn one and two bring out the red flag. Peters was okay but that ended his night. Ballard remained out front until Brian Happel finally found away around Ballard for the lead on lap four. Happel lead the remaining laps including through the only other caution on lap five to take his first Hogan Memorial win. Ballard held of Bill Bonnett and Benji Irvine for second. Jacob Keiser was fifth.
Don Erger led all ten laps in the BCS Micro Mods feature event becoming the first ever Hogan Memorial Winner. Buster Pate, Brandon Maitland, Brody Willett and Tristan Cordes rounded out the top five.
In the "Class to Tough To Tame" IMCA Stock Cars 15 lap feature it was Paul Shepherd grabbing the lead. Shepherd appeared to be heading on to the win for his first Hogan Memorial but Justin Stander was sneaking around the top side of the speedway. Stander and Shepherd battle it out to the checkered on the last lap and it was Stander becoming the first time winner of the Hogan Memorial.
Final feature of the night was the 40 lap 20th Annual Hogan Memorial for the IMCA Modifieds. After the drivers introductions were completed and the top two drivers in the heat races redrew it was time to go racing. Jeremy Mills and JD Auringer started on the front row and it was Auringer grabbing the lead on lap one. Richie Gustin worked his way by Mills for second and set his sights on Auringer but could never catch him. Auringer encounter lap traffic on lap 16 and that was about the only thing that slowed him down until the half-way pit stop. However lap traffic allowed Hunter Marriott get by Gustin for second.
Top ten at the halfway pit stop was: Auringer, Marriott, Dan Chapman, Gustin, Mills, Kyle Brown, Cayden Carter, Troy Cordes, Mike Jergens and Josh Gilman.
Auringer led the entire second 20 lap segment to take his second Hogan Memorial Win, his other came in 2007. Hunter Marriott from Brookfield, Mo finished second meanwhile Dan Chapman finished third. Mike Jergens moved up 14 spots to finish fourth which gave him the Hard Charger Award. Gustin was fifth.
Thanks to Mick Trier, Angel Trier, Dana Benning, Ryan Clark, Kevin Kemp, Don Burkey, Brett Root, IMCA and the Hogan Family for the great hospitality.
