Before the first lap was complete Keith Chapman and Kip Pearson got together setting up a pile of cars on the backstretch. Pearson was able to go on, while Chapman spun collecting Brian Dobbs, Josh Chestney, Mike Houston. Phillip Nichols and Andy Wilder got up against the outside wall to try and clear them but were able to go on.

On the complete restart Fultz and Trammell were able to come to the line a lot more even. With Trammell on the high side he was able to pull Fultz into turn one and off turn two. It was Trammell, Fultz, Anthony Burchett, Pearson and Gary Blanken leading the first lap. Three laps later, Phillip Nichols passed Blanken for fifth, another three lap and Blanken took fifth place back from Nichols.

The caution flew for Pearson and track officials checked Pearson car, while Blanken headed to the pit. The restart Trammell was still leading with Fultz in tow, followed by Burchett, Pearson and Nichols with Mike Reese passing Nichols in turn one to take over fifth place. Pearson ducked below Burchett in turn one as did Reece, but they were unable to pull off the pass. With nine laps to go Fultz mounted a charge and ran door to door with Trammell for six laps, at times pulling a head of Trammell a foot or two. With Nichols and Pearson spinning coming off turn four for the checkered flag. Trammell, Fultz, Burchett and Reece have the rest of the field down a lap.

Powder Puff:
Young Ladies starting the Power Puff were Heather Poore, Diana Moore, Angie Cupp, Rebecca Green, Chelsea Davis, Terrie Carrie
Julie Estes and Carolyn Davidson. Diana Moore took the lead on the start with Poore in tow. With two laps in the book Poore took the low side and passed Moore going into turn one. Going down the backstretch Moore would have no more to do with Poore, Moore passed Poore on the low side going into turn three. Moore's right rear fender caught Poore's left front fender and Poore heading to the pits. Moore passed another car on the high side on the backstretch on the next lap. With the two of them getting together, Moore's drivers door and the right front fender of the other car. Moore got by another car on the front stretch, but Rebecca Green was catching up with Moore. Moore and Green split the red Dodge Pickup truck at the flag stand, Green down low and Moore on the high side and the pickup between them three wide.

Green came out of turn two the leader and Moore now chasing Green. Both ladies turned up the wick as Green went high in turn three to pass Angie Cupp. Moore went high as to pull off a slide job and slip under Cupp, but instead hit the inside guard rail, cutting down a tire and went up the track. Not knowing it Moore stayed in the gas coming down the front stretch and the car headed right into the front stretch wall with the right front, like something may have broke, then turned around and hit the inside wall with the same right front fender. Where some "Big Ole Boy" about 6 ft. 6 in., 275 lbs. stood just inside the inside pit wall. Let's just say Race Director, Rick Brooks didn't know how fast he could move. Moore got out of the car on her own, with the help of her husband and track crew. Moore didn't appear hurt; she may be a little sore on Sunday. When Brooks was last seen, someone said something about a clean pair of pants. Rebecca Green went on to take the feature win driving the Bo and Red Hall owned #97 Pure Street car. Green thanked the Hall's for the use of their car. She was to drive her brother Jerry Green's car in the Powder Puff, but Jerry had a little trouble with his in his feature. Rebecca Green receives a big trophy and a kiss on the cheek from her dad as well as a hug from brother Jerry.
