Carter, Austin Schrage, Johnathon Logue and Kyle Olson round out the top five.
Braden Richards led all 15 laps in the IMCA Hobby Stocks feature event, that went green-to-checkered caution free. For Richards, that was his first feature win in Marshalltown.

On the restart, DeBouche and Jason Morehouse got together forcing the caution to come out again. Another caution came out after lap three scored when Shane Palmer spun in turn three and four. Thornton looked as the guy to beat but he received pressure from Ronn Lauritzen on the restart. The caution came out one more time on lap six when Palmer spun in turn two, just as Lauritzen made contact with Thornton in turn four, race officials called the caution for Palmer giving Thornton and Laurtizen their spots back.
