In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Michael Scorzelli and Rich Hammann ran the first lap side by side for the lead with Scorzelli taking the top spot. Ed Ricard was third, with Michael Bennett quickly up to fourth and Kevin Gambacorta was fifth.
Bennett was on the move as he took third and then moved up to second on lap-5. Ricard and Hammann got sideways in turn 4 but the field was able to avoid the two cars and the race stayed green with Scorzelli leading Bennett, Tom Fearn, Ricard, and Gambacorta.
Fearn’s car slowed with an apparent problem and he limped his way back to pit road as Scorzelli had a large lead with 10 laps complete with nearly a half straightaway advantage over Gambacorta. Bennett’s car dropped off the pace with issues and he limped back to pit road on lap-12. With 10 laps to go, Gambacorta had closed the gap to Scorzelli out front and Butler was several lengths behind Gambacorta. Ricard was fourth and Josh Wood was right on Ricard’s bumper in fifth.
Gambacorta could never get close enough to Scorzelli to mount a challenge for the lead as Scorzelli took down his first win of the season. Butler finished third, with Ricard and Wood rounding out the top-5.
