MIDWAY POSTED THIS:

The Bombers feature saw Jack Hamer and Rodney Yost jump out to an early lead as they fought back and forth for the top spot  while Brandon Waters, Rob White, point leader Brandon Knudtson and Mike Piercy were battling. Up front during a long green run, Hamer and Yost were side by side going through lapped traffic as Knudtson, and last weeks winner Shawn Strong and Piercy were gaining quickly. Contenders Waters and White pulled to the pits ending there chances of a win while Hamer and Yost still battled up front. The caution waved on lap 10 as Chad Cromer's strong run to the front ended as he spun. On the restart, Knudtson and Piercy went around Yost as Hamer's car began to get very hard to go through the corners as Knudtson took the lead on lap 13 with Piercy close behind and Strong coming quickly also. Despite a late race challenge Knudtson took the win with Piercy, Strong, early leader Hamer and Yost completing the top 5 as 14 of the 21 starters finished on the lead lap.

The Bomber feature went caution free as Brandon Waters grabbed the early lead with point leader Brandon Knudtson following. Rob White took over the runner-up spot on lap 3 and set his sights on Waters. The leaders battled side by side until lap 11 when White made a power move to grab the lead with Brandon Waters close behind as battles back in the pack included Mike Piercy, Shawn Strong, Joe Francis and Jack Hamer all swapping spots. Heading for the last lap a car spun in turn 4 as White drifted to the highside and Brandon Waters charged to his inside and grabbed the win at the stripe by a front bumper in grabbing his first win in the season followed by White, Strong, Piercy and early contender Jack Hamer.

Brandon did not get to finish the feature because of rear end problems. He finished thirteenth, but is still leading in points by a very wide margine.

The Bomber class would see pole setter Rob White grab the opening lead with point leader Brandon Knudtson close behind with some 2-3 wide racing behind. First Knudtson tried several attempts to get around White, but White held on and then later in the race, Shawn Strong tried to make a move to the front but White withstood the challenges until Strong had a rearend lock-up ending his charge. In the closing laps, last weeks winner Brandon Waters slowly made his way to the front to secure the runner-up spot on the last lap with Knudtson, a fast moving Jack Hamer and Dale Waters completing the top 5.
