In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Wayne Coury, Jr. got into the wall in turn 1 and the caution came out with 1 lap complete as Ed Ricard took the lead from Kevin Gambacorta and Josh Wood.
Ricard took the lead back under green with Wood and Tom Fearn behind him but the caution came back out with 2 laps complete as Rich Hammann came to a stop in turn 3.
Wood took the lead from Ricard on the restart with Fearn third, Kevin Gambacorta fourth, and Tom Butler fifth. Ricard began to slide backwards as Fearn, Gambacorta, Butler, and Michael Bennett all got by as Ricard fell back to fifth. Fearn was all over the back bumper of Wood on lap-8 and he was looking to take over the race lead.
Bennett made a move to the inside of Butler to move into fourth on lap-12 while Fearn was again looking to take the lead from Wood. Fearn made a pass stick in turn 3 to move to the front on lap-13. Gambacorta was now hounding Wood for second while Bennett was beginning to close in on Wood and Gambacorta as Fearn continued to lead the race.
Gambacorta took second from Wood on lap-20 and Bennett followed him by as Wood fell from second back to fourth place. Fearn was still in command of the race with a little over a half second lead. Butler took fourth from Wood on lap-28 in turns 1+2 but Butler came back strong in turns 3+4 to retake the spot. The cars were side by side as they took the white flag. Fearn led Gambacorta to the checkered flag to pick up his 9th win of the season. Bennett finished third, with Butler and Wood rounding out the top-5.
