In the Sportsman division #98 Lee Kemmit won yet another main event as he continues to dominate the division, and #3 Michael Cox drove a great race to win the NTC Logistics Super Stocks main event.

#11 Darren Robertson and impressive rookie #6 Dominic Ursetta lined up on the front row for a 40 lap main event at Colorado national Speedway. At the start it was Ursetta who got a great run on the outside and was able to grab the lead from Robertson. With just 10 laps in the books #27 Roger Avants and #55 Jesse Runkle made contact in turn 3 bringing out the yellow which also resulted in both cars being sent to the rear of the field. On the restart the black #11 of Robertson was able to take the lead away from Ursetta who wasn't able to repeat his earlier start. Yet another caution flew when several cars at the back of the pack spun in turn 1 and when the green flag flew again #12 Bruce Yackey took the lead from Robertson who began to fall back through the field. #39 Jack Nugent assumed 2nd place and drove right up on Yackey's bumper giving the multi-time champ a great run for his money. The best battle on the track was for 3rd position as Ursetta had settled into 3rd but #74 Dan Savage and #91 Chris Atkinson were providing tons of pressure and it was Savage who eventually snuck by the young Ursetta. 2nd place Nugent began to fade as Yackey built a large late race lead. When the checkered flag waved Yackey won by a large margin. Nugent barely hung on for 2nd and Savage took the 3rd spot. 4th went to Ursetta and an impressive run for Cheyenne Wyoming's Chris Atkinson finished in 5th.

FAST DASH WINNER: #12 Bruce Yackey
DASH WINNER: #84 Matt Zwingelberg
QUICK TIME: #31 Rick Smith 16.306

Pair-A-Dice Interior Finishes Sportsman
#6 Tommy Roe led the Sportsman main early but it was the familiar duo of #98 Lee Kemmit and #8 Jeff Walbaum that were approaching fast. Kemmit Passed Roe low and began to find his groove. However Walbaum wasn't about to let Kemmit walk away with the win and began to mount a charge on Kemmit. It appeared that Walbaum was quicker coming out of turn 4, but Kemmit was a bit better in turns 1 and 2 which made for a great race. The race wound down quickly as there were no cautions for the entire 25 laps. Kemmit navigated lapped traffic masterfully grabbing yet another main event win. Walbaum was right behind in 2nd. #84 Bruce Borchardt was 3rd. The #3 of Wade Grove finished an impressive 4th, and #53 Joshua Meranda rounded out the top 5.

Rookie Josh Parker in the flat black #6x led the first 3 laps but last years champion #39 Jack Nugent took the lead on lap 4. Nugent built a large lead but after #3 Michael Cox moved into 2nd place he began to reel in the speedy Nugent. A great race for 3rd place between #88 David Rothrock, #46 Ric Lothert, #13 Jason Morris, #6x Josh Parker, and #61 John Humphrey thrilled the massive CNS crowd. With 7 laps to go #57 Bubba Willox made hard contact with the back straight wall and the large field of cars behind him did a marvelous job avoiding Willox. On the restart Cox got the jump on Nugent made the pass and rode a smooth line to the checkered flag. Nugent grabbed 2nd place and #46 Ric Lothert who came all the way from 14th starting spot finished 3rd. #13 Jason Morris took 4th and #6x Josh Parker rounded out the top 5.
