Brian Brown lost an engine during warm-ups.
Jason Martin was a scratch from heat race #2 Toni Lutar was running 5th in heat race #2 when he spun on the last lap.
Matt Clevenger scratched from heat race #3 with injector problems, and missed the B-main as well.
Jonathan Allard, Brian Brown, Toni Lutar, and Travis Rilat raced 4-wide out of turn 4 on lap 2 of the B-main, for 4th-7th, with Allard getting into the frontstretch wall and coming to a stop in turn 1. Allard pitted for repairs, but couldn’t get out for the restart.
Dean Jacobs was running 3rd in the B-main when he lost a radiator hose at the end of the backstretch. Jacobs spun into the turn 3 wall and flipped, with Jason Martin getting into the wall and turning over while trying to avoid Jacobs. Neither driver was injured, Jacobs pitted for repairs, and restarted at the rear of the field.
Ricky Logan was running 2nd in the B-main with 2 laps to go when he ran out of fuel.

Quotes
Steve Kinser ...“I’ve had a terrible cold all week long. It seems like every time I fly back and forth from out West I catch something, but the race car has been running good all year long, from the moment we took it out of the box. We just hope we can get (500th career A-feature win) out of the way—it’s just a number. We just want to come into the race track feeling like we’re capable of winning every night, and that’s been the case for the last couple of years. It seems like you had to be a number eleven to run up front tonight—there were three of us up there. Kraig (Kinser) is getting better and better—he just needs some more laps, but he’s getting to see some of these tracks for the second or third time. Actually, I thought he was going to get by Paulie (McMahan) there down low, but he moved back up, and I was able to find something down low in 3&4 when they kind of got bottled up there, and we got on through.”
