After a brief tussle with #12 Bruce Yackey and #11 Darren Robertson, #22 Chris Eggleston broke away for the lead. Eggleston hit lapped traffic at lap 15 while Yackey and Robertson duked it out for 2nd. A yellow flag signaled a double file restart. Eggleston had the lead, Robertson in 2nd, Yackey in 3rd, #74 Dan Savage in 4th and #31 Rick Smith was in 5th. Eggleston took the outside for the restart, edging out Darren Robertson for the lead by a nose. Eggleston and Robertson stretched out their lead over the rest of the field. With 25 laps of racing to go, it looked like Robertson had a chance of toppling NASCAR up-and-comer Chris Eggleston. Chris Eggleston did a magnificent job, fending off the ever approaching Robertson. At the checkered it was Eggleston for the win. Robertson took 2nd as he crossed the checkered at Chris's side. Bruce "The Moose" Yackey took 3rd.

#46 Richard Lothert, #36 Matt Burton and #19 Scott Miller locked horns in a 21 lap duel for the lead while the 25 cars in the field behind them rubbed, spun, sparked, smoked and careened into walls. With only 9 laps to go, a wreck along the back stretch brought out the red flag. After a double file restart, Lothert found himself in 1st. A battle for the second spot raged on behind Lothert as Matt Burton, Scott Miller and #17 Jeremy Barclay rode door handle to door handle through the last leg of the race. Lothert passed the finish first followed by Burton, Miller and Jeremy Barclay. And as usually, Rick celebrated atop his vehicle with his signature "Lothert Shuffle".

#23 Big Al Duran lead the pack through the first 12 laps of the 20 lap Main Event. #24 Smokin' Joe Martinez was hot on his tail. Our 2 Doors Down figure 8s raced clean through the entire main event. By lap 10 the action in the X was so intense the cries from the crowd could be heard for miles. Half way through the 20 lapper, Smokin' Joe backed off and #4 Joe Matlock took up his mantle on the heels of Big Al. It wasn't long before Matlock passed Al for the lead. Matlock took the win by 10 car lengths, followed by Big Al Duran and #28 Victor Johnson.
