In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Michael Wray used the high line to get around Scott Cook at the drop of the green and take the early lead. Josh Wood and Ed Ricard were side by side for second with Tom Fearn and Michael Scorzelli closing in as Cook was fading backwards to 10th place. Fearn went by Wood to take over second on lap-4 and Michael Bennett took fifth from Ricard and he then took fourth from Scorzelli on lap-5.
Fearn stalked Wray until lap-9 when he made a move to take over the race lead. Wray continued to run in second with Wood third. Bennett retook fourth from Scorzelli on lap-15 and then he ran down Wood and took over third on lap-21 as Fearn continued to lead Wray.

Fearn led Wray to the checkered flag to pick up his 11th win of the 2015 season. Following the checkered flag, Fearn’s car was found to have an unapproved tire on his car and his team failed to execute technical inspection with the #92 car and he was disqualified from the race, making Michael Wray a first time winner in the Late Model ranks. Bennett moved up to second, with Wood, Scorzelli, and Rick Lanagan making up the new top-5. Bennett’s finish was good enough to clinch the Late Model track championship, his second career track title at Stafford.
