In the points chase, Chuck McKee opened up a 30 point margin over Brett Hearn when McKee finished 9th and Hearn 21st.
The Liberty Pest Control 20 lap DIRT Sportsman feature saw Skip Travis of Verplanck, NY lead wire to wire to win his first feature since 1993. For Travis, it was his 3rd career win. Rick Mill, Joe Dunay, Mike Hintze, and Dave Fellman completed the top five.
In Pro Stock action, Tom Cannizzaro of Stone Ridge, NY won his first 14 lap Expert feature of the season and the 41st of his career here. He ranks second on the all time list.
