So as the first feature was set to go it was the 73 of Jake Williams on the pole along side was the 31B of Clay Dow. Williams jumped out front for the first two laps as fourth place starter Lowery worked his way by. Williams settled in for second , as Dow , Donnelly , and Hull tried to track him down. At the half way point Lowery had a good lead over the field and the race went twenty green flag laps as Jim Lowery picked up the win , followed by Jake Williams, Chris Donnelly , Will Hull, Clay Dow.
