Pete Lopuch’s car was also involved in the incident.

Gray spun in the middle of turns 1+2 to bring the caution out with 12 laps complete.
Douillard and Wesson resumed their side by side duel for the lead back under green. The duo ran side by side for a lap with Wesson taking the lead by a nose at the line. Wesson then cleared Douillard going into turn 1 on lap-14. Behind the lead duo Membrino was now up to third with Joey Ferrigno up to fourth and Prucker was running in fifth.
Wesson pulled away from Douillard to take the checkered flag for his second win of the 2016 season. Membrino finished third with Ferrigno and Prucker rounding out the top-5.
In the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature event, Justin Bren took the lead at the green flag with Bryan Narducci, Matt Clement, Jeremy Lavoie, and Al Saunders lined up behind him.

Dembek, Alexandra Fearn, and Ryan Fearn all followed Robinson by Chambrello and Chambrello continued to slide backwards as Johnny Walker, Tyler Trott, Trace Beyer, Brandon Michael, Michael Hopkins, and Marcello Rufrano all got by to drop her from the lead back to eleventh place in a matter of three laps. The caution came out with 6 laps complete as Dembek spun in turn 1 and collected the car of Walker. Beyer’s car also came to a stop on the apron in the middle of turns 1+2.
Alexandra Fearn took the lead back under green with Robinson slotting into second. Trott was up to third with Ryan Fearn fourth and last week’s winner Michael was up to fifth. Alexandra was starting to pull away from the rest of the field with Trott pulling away from a pack of cars in second. Michael was third with Walker and Rufrano making up the top-5 with 2 laps to go.
Alexandra Fearn led the field to the checkered flag but she was disqualified from the victory in post-race technical inspection due to a ride height violation, making Trott the winner. Michael finished second with Walker, Rufrano, and Hopkins rounding out the top-5.
In the 20-lap Legend Cars feature event, Noah Korner and Teddy Hodgdon took the top two spots at the drop of the green and immediately began to duel for the race lead. Joey Ternullo, Jr., was third with Brett Crowther fourth and Steven Chapman fifth.
At the halfway point, Korner and Hodgdon were still glued to each other out front with Ternullo in third and followed by Crowther and Chapman.
