Joel Cryderman of Thunder Bay Ontario made it two wins in three nights as he repeated his win at the Proctor Speedway to make it two wins in a row. The 20 lap feature got off to a rocky start as Kelly Estey was apparently boosted from behind into a wild spin down the front stretch ending up against some advertising signs down toward the first turn. When the field was lined back up in original order, Jeff Provinzino was on the pole with Cryderman right beside him. That was as close to the lead as Provinzino would get as Cryderman rocketed to the front and began to extend his lead. George Ledin and Bob Broking followed but it was Harry Hanson who was on the move racing from seventh to fourth immediately. John Carpenter spun in turn two for the first and only caution flag.

At the green flag Cryderman maintained the lead as Provinzino's passing attempt fell short. Hanson was now third but some distance back from the leaders as further back ninth starting Tom Nesbitt and 11th starting Darrell Nelson were fifth and sixth. Nelson annexed fourth but Broking fought back to take fifth at the checkered flag. Provinzino was able to close up on Cryderman in traffic but was unable to gain enough ground to challenge for the win. It was the second straight sweep for Cryderman at the speedway.

Jeff Lien drew the pole for the WISSOTA Modified feature and scooted out to an early lead but Kelly estey quickly moved from the second row into the runner up spot ahead of Tyler Hynnes, Jeff Wood and the battle for fifth between Duane Dale and Jody Bellefeuille for fifth. Charging toward the front was Darrell Nelson from his eight starting spot. The half way point in the 15 lap feature was quickly reached with Estey on cruise control and extending his lead. The only caution flag of the event brought the field to Estey's bumper but to no avail as Estey drove off to the win over Lien, Wood, Nelson and Dale.

Jim Campbell shot around the scramble at the front at the start of the 15 lap WISSOTA Super Stock feature from his sixth starting spot. The usual contenders started deep in the field with point leader Ryan Aho and Scott Lawrence starting outside of the fifth and sixth rows respectively. It took little time for Aho to wade through the field and was quickly into second attempting to track down Campbell. Newcomer Dennis German spun in turn one bringing out the first caution.

At the green flag it was Campbell, Aho, outside pole sitter Steve Estey, Donnie Lofdahl and Kyle Peterlin with Lawrence in sixth, Mike Bellefeuille seventh and Rick Simpson from 21st to eighth. All eyes were on the battle between leader Campbell and Aho as the battled for the win. The two came off the fourth turn in a rubbing and banging dash for the checkered flag with Campbell edging Aho at the line by a slim margin. Peterlin, Lawrence and Lofdahl rounded out the top five.

The Midwest Modified 15 lap feature got off to a lame start and it was the car of Shawn Ziells that was lame shredding a right rear tire in close quarters on the back stretch leaving debris littering the racing surface. At the start it was pole sitter Dick Walters with the lead but Monte Hall shot from the outside of the fourth row into second and began to pressure Walters. National point leader Justin Jones was also utilizing the high side moving quickly from the inside of row four following Hall into third. Hall soon was able to dispose of Walters and cruise to the win in the caution free event. Walters, Jones, Greg Chesley and Willie Thompson finished in the top five.

It looked as though the Pure Stock feature would possibly go flag to flag but the only flag seen was the red one as Dustin Follett got off the top of turn two and rolled several times. Follet was uninjured. At the green flag Jon McKinnon quickly moved from the inside of the third row to the lead with Al Rapp following on up into second. It quickly became apparent that McKinnon and Rapp would drive off and settle it for themselves. Perhaps it was inevitable, but Rapp and McKinnon clashed with Rapp who spun in turn four. McKinnon was sent to the rear and Rapp was able to take his first win of the season at the speedway. Jim McClellan moved up from the 11th starting spot to take second over Lou Meglen, Glen Dammer and Ricky Davis.

Rick Lepinski of Hudson, WI was the winner in the Vintage Cars special event.
