Brown’s night ended early. On the lap one restart, Amy Catalano took the lead away from her son Tommy and her husband Dave raced his way into third place. The drivers trying to spoil the Catalano one-two-three finish was Kirk Totten and George Skora III. Both young drivers tried everything they had to get around Tommy Catalano but Tommy, fresh off his first career win the night before at Spencer, was able to maintain his third position on the speedway as he watched his parents fight for the win. Dave Catalano was able to hold off his wife Amy and son Tommy to pick up his first win of the season.
The 30 lap Getzoni Agency Pro Modified feature saw Jimmy Zacharias and Kyle Inman lead the field to the green flag and it was Jimmy Z showing the way early on. Kirk Totten was able to take over the race lead on lap number seven after getting underneath the Zacharias racer. Dave Catalano, winner of the made up feature earlier in the evening, raced his way past Jimmy Z and moved into the runner up spot. Catalano tried everything he could in the late going but Totten continued to show the way. The battle was on for fourth place between Zacharias and George Skora III in the late going after Amy Catalano past Zacharias for third place just past the races halfway point. Totten pulled away from both Dave and Amy Catalano to claim his fourth win of the season. Jimmy Zacharias would finish in fourth and George Skora III would complete the top five.
In the first McClurg Auto Group Late Model feature, Mike Ticco and Eldon King III led the field to the green flag and it was King jumping into the race lead. With King showing the way, Brandon Glover and Mike Ticco battled for second throughout the event. Glover would get around Ticco for the runner up spot and would drive all over the speedway to find the right line and attempt to pass King. But Eldon King was too strong on this night as King fought off all of Glover’s challenges to pick up his fourth win of the season.
JD Roberts and Mike Ticco led the Late Models to the green for their regular 20 lap feature event and it was Ticco showing the way. Eldon took the lead on lap four and quickly showed the field why he was the defending divisional champion. The race was on for second place between Brandon Glover and Mike Ticco for much of the event. The two slightly made contact a couple of times but both drivers were able to race hard and Ticco would get the advantage of the young Glover to maintain second place throughout the event. Eldon King drove away to his second win of the night and fifth of the season.
“The Big Show” Ted Welshans and Lee Sharpsteen led the 18 car field of Super Stocks to the green flag and Sharpsteen got loose and hit the wall. Tim Welshans was also involved and both were able to continue. With one lap in, Jason Dieter and Joe Fetzer led the field back to the green flag and it was Dieter showing the way. Divisional point’s leader Mike Ramos got passed by Tommy Markham for third place on lap three and the “lavender machine” Wayne Bernhard racing in the top five. Ramos was able to pass Fetzer to move into second place and began his chase of the race leader Dieter. As Dieter hit lap traffic, Ramos and Bernhard battled for the runner up spot. Bernhard moved into second place and began his chase of Dieter, who had a full straightaway lead over the rest of the field. Jason Dieter pulled away to pick up his first career Super Stock Series win. Wayne Bernhard finished in second and was followed to the line by Tommy Markham, Sam Fullone and Joe Mancuso completed the top five.
Dave Wilson Jr jumped into the lead after passing Ken Maltby early in the 30 lap feature event for the Bank of Holland Chargers. Maltby was joined in the front row by Tom Northem and Northem and Maltby battled for second for most of the 30 lap feature event. With Wilson running away with the lead, a five car battle between Maltby, Northem, Eric Brown, Zach Myers and Rich Carnes shaped up for second place with Northem getting the advantage with a handful of laps remaining. Wilson drove away to pick up his third win of the season.
Cody Mollnow and Jim Fleischman led the NYPAMA TQ Midgets to the green flag for their 20 lap feature event and it was Fleischman showing the way on the opening circuit with Chad Heywood in second place. Off an early race restart, Jonathan Reid moved into the lead on lap three with
Dave Wollaber and Andy Nye charged into second and third place. Wollaber then used the crossover move and passed Reid for the lead on lap five. Andy Nye spun in turn two to bring out the races third caution with six laps completed. On the restart, Dave Wollaber showed the way with Shawn Nye moving into third place and then Nye went underneath Reid to move into the runner up spot and quickly went to work on race leader Dave Wollaber.

Nye and Wollaber would race side by side for several laps, fighting for the race lead and Wollaber regained the lead with seven laps remaining. Jonathan Reid brought out the caution suffering a broken driveshaft. On the restart, Wollaber would lead and hold off Shawn Nye to pick up the victory. Camden Barber would finish in third and was followed closely to the line by Kyle Hutchinson and Jim Fleischman.

Chris Powers was able to sneak around Hill on lap four to take over the race lead. Once infront, Powers pulled away from the field.

Cousin Louis Carbone came home in third and was followed to the line by Jeff Szafraniec and Josh Hill.
Mike Myers was awarded the win in the M&M U Pull-It Figure 8’s after Jason Eck and Jason Adams came together on the last lap. Adams and Eck would battle for the lead for much of the event and Eck was able to take the lead on lap four. Coming into the final two turns, Eck and Adams made contact and Adams appeared to cross the line first but officials penalized Adams, therefore giving the win to Mike Myers.
News and Notes: Tyler Turnbull did a simple rollover after getting loose during his NYPAMA TQ Midgets qualifying event. Tyler climbed out of his racer under his own power.
