Nelson Mason would work his way into fifth place after starting 14th on the grid in just nine laps. The leaders would hit lap traffic with 10 laps remaining and that would allow Senek to reel in Wagner. Jordan Moden would hit the turn two wall to bring out the race’s first caution on lap 17. On the restart, Wagner and Senek would battle for the lead as Kerwin would regain third place from Dave DiPietro. Wagner and Senek battled for the lead, just as Nelson Mason would pass DiPietro to take over fourth place. Wagner would hold off Senek to score the win, with Mason, Kerwin, and Cam Tuttle completing the top five.

Dan Schulz and John Zimmerman brought the KiPo Motors Street Stocks to the green flag in the Mackenzie Kulesza Memorial, with Zimmerman having issues and bottlenecked the field. The initial restart would then put Dennis Cummings and Josh Pangrazio on the front row. Cummings would take off in the lead ahead of Pangrazio, with Ken Camidge, Damian Long, and Simon Bissell racing in the top five early on. Cummings’s run would end on lap seven as he got into the loose stuff in turn one and hit the wall to bring out the caution. Pangrazio would take off in the lead on the restart, with Bissell racing in second, and Pete Stefanski and Dan Schulz battling for third place. Schulz would take second away from Bissell on lap 17. On the restart, Pangrazio would once again take off in the lead, with Schulz in second place. Pangrazio would pull away from the field to earn his sixth win of the season.

Brad Whiteside would take over second and would quickly go after Conte for the lead, with Rung racing in third. Bill Weller Jr would come to a stop on the back straightaway to bring out the caution on lap six. On the restart, Ryan Plante would move up to take over second place and would battle with Whiteside, as Conte started to pull away from the field. Cody Griffin would bring out the caution with two laps remaining after blowing up the motor on his number 93 ride. Whiteside would catch Conte on the restart, but Conte would hold off Whiteside to score the feature win.
