On tap was the special event for the Hampton RV & Trailer Sales Stage One Modifieds with the running of the annual Mom & Pop Smith Memorial race.

In the Mom & Pop Smith Memorial event for the Hampton RV & Trailer Sales Stage One Modified run with lap money on the line, Joel Smith rocketed out front at the drop of the green flag and throughout the thirty laps of hard fought racing, Smith claimed his fifth win of the season as he was able to blister the clay with consistent 12.8 second laps. John Comandini was able to keep pace as he was knocking off some impressive 12.9 second laps in his own right. Smith won with Comandini second, Tanner VanDoren third, Amanda Buchel fourth in the Cole Polishing hot rod and Joe Price rallying to claim fifth place. Jasper Ziegafuse, Quarter Midget star Mark Evans, Cody Motto and Evan Civick completed the field. Amanda Buchel claimed the Hard Charger Award for the event as she advanced five positions during the run.

In the All Star Slingshot feature, Paul Ennes grabbed the lead at the start of the twenty lap main and led for the first three laps before Adam Buchel in another Cole Polishing Sponsored hot rod was able to drive by him on a restart. Buchel was being pressured by Ennes, Wes Hearn and Scott Neary. The action was close and the quarters were tight as the laps clicked off. Jared Silfee began from eighth place and was making waves as he advanced through the field. Buchel held his ground and fought off the very tough competition time and time again. A late restart found Jared Silfee in the runner-up role and he began to make his assault for the lead. He pulled even with Buchel and the duo touched and Silfee slipped past Buchel for the lead and the win, his second of the season.

Wes Hearn was third with Jim Conroy, Greg Zellman, Wally Bell and David Guest following

Shelby McLaughlin raced into the lead from her front row start and would easily distance herself from the field with some quick 14.8 second laps times. A couple of skirmishes brought the field together and on the restart McLaughlin would lead but Kasey Hufcut had moved into second place. The duo would leave the field in their wake as it clearly became a two car chase for the win. Hufcut would slow with two laps remaining and drop from the field. McLaughlin would win her fifth main event of the season and solidify her hold in the point lead. JJ Rice would settle for second with Austin Homan doing great work for third place, Aiden Donaldson in fourth and Brian Smith claiming fifth place..

The JPA Masonry Rookie Wingless 600 Sprint encounter found Zack Weisenfluh hammer down at the start with four time winner "Nitro" Noah Zielinski applying the pressure. Newcomer Kenny Harris, Scott Slater and Richie Maguire had their own battle going for third place. As the laps clicked off, the drivers were evenly matched and Zielinski tried every channel of the raceway he knew to slip past Weisenfluh. It was not to be as Weisenfluh sped to his second win of the season with Zielinski in the runner-up role. Harris, Slater and Maguire would complete the top five. Heading up the second five were Ryan Stangle, Ryan Lacoe, Dennis Stawinsky, Dennis Chamberlain and Cody Powell.

Joel Smith took the lead at the start of the Chad Wheeler Excavating 600 Sprint event with Zack Weisenfluh, Duane White and Colin White chasing him. Smith was strong and hung tough while Colin White made his way into second place. Smith and White were now in a classic duel with Smith controlling the baseline of the speedway. A couple of restarts found White trying sliders but Smith fought off each advance. On lap thirteen, as they approached the the third turn, White got to the inside of Smith and tried another slider but Smith was aside of him and the pair made contact and Smith spun. White and Smith would be sent to the back of the field but while Smith complied, White did not and eventually pulled off of the raceway. When the racing resumed Chad Sandt took over the point when he drove to the top of the raceway in turn one and powered his Ron Sandt Motorsports entry to a few car length lead with former two time track champion Eddie Strada in pursuit. Sandt would work his magic and go on to capture his fourth win of the season. Strada would receive runner-up honors in his return to the speedway while Duane White, Joe Nemeth and Mick D'Agostino would follow in the top five. Heading up the second five were Joseph Smith, Zack Weisenfluh, the returning Amber Oraschin, Cody Smith and Tyler Lindsay.

In the held-over Super Slinger event, Alan Kober took advantage of a front row start and would lead all of the way to earn his first feature win of the season in the division. Greg Zellman would finish second with Dale Kober, Paul Ennes, Jim Conroy and David Guest following.
