A strong field of over 30 cars attempted to qualify for the 50-lap Howe Racing Enterprises Modified feature event. Ken O'Connor sat on the pole, leading the opening three laps before Ten-Time Track Champion Bill Luckhurst found a way around. However, Robby Johnson, driving a car normally driven by 1995 Track Champion Todd Matheson, would close in on Luckhurst. The close chase would be to no avail as Bill Luckhurst went on to win his ninth feature of the season. Robby Johnson came home second with Travis Eddy, Mike Luberda, Jr. and Steve Bates, Jr. rounding out the top five. Robby Johnson, Dave Christenson, Mike Luberda, Jr. and Travis Eddy won the heat races, Justin Kazmar won the B-Main and Bill Luckhurst set fast time with a lap of 16.170.

Bernie Murphy, Jr. sat on the pole but 15 year old Blake Childers would get past to lead the opening 12 laps before being overtaken by 2007 Track Champion Mark Welch. Welch held a commanding lead until lap 28 when a caution for a spinning Childers put 2008 Track Champion Dave Bigos on Welch's bumper. Bigos would get the jump on Welch and hop into the lead, never looking back. This was Bigos's eighth win of the season. Welch came home second with Bernie Murphy, Jr. hanging on for third and Randy Day and Ed Doutre, Jr. rounding out the top five.

A solid field of Affordable Tire & Service Center Pure Stocks lined up for their 35-lap feature with last-weeks feature winner Steve Pelky setting the pace.

Steve Pelky came home second with Ricky Plamondon, Nick Johnson and CJ Davis rounding out the top five. Jim Gokee, Fred Adkins and Chad Decker took the heat races and Jimmy Straton set the pace in qualifying with a lap of 19.260.
