The REVELution Race Cars Pro Late Model feature event would see Todd Coffman return to his winning ways as he would outdistance the field to score the victory aboard the Sharon Coffman owned Self Service Storage/Auto Connection/Coffman Photography/Todd’s Body Shop/Heritage Closing/The Muffler Shop/Harrod Farms sponsored #35 Rocket Chassis, Hendren GM604 powered entry.  Chris Johnson would hold of the repeated challenges of Zane Powell for the second positon, while Jeff Alsip and Wesley Ball completed the top five.  Rounding out the top ten would be Steven Eversole, Chad Spradlin, David Freeman, Tony Roland, and Clayton Spradlin.  Twelve entries would see Freeman as top qualifier at 15.232 seconds, with heat wins going to Johnson and Coffman.

The KDRA Super Stock main event would be a heated affair throughout, with Jeremie Bretz breaking away from the field to score his first win of the season at Richmond Raceway in the Swartz Racing owned Swartz Enterprises/Swartz Mowing/Custom Race Suspensions sponsored #3x machine.  Allen Hackworth, Jr. and Robby Perkins would claim the second and third positions at the drop of the checkered flag, with Faron Robinson and Travis Preston rounding out the top five.  Completing the top ten finishers would be Darrell Cain, Glen Hounshell, Jr., Randy Frasure, Ricky Brandenburg, and James Crowe.  Twenty-one entries would see Bretz also be the top qualifier at 16.722 seconds and win a heat, while Perkins scored the other heat win.
