On the double file restart, Satterlee took control. On lap 24, another caution appeared as Matt Lux slowed. Satterlee once again lead on the restart, but one lap later disaster struck as nine car pileup between Jamie Lathroum, Dylan Yoder, Kyle Hardy, Jim Yoder, Andrew Wylie, Coleby Frye,Devin Friese, Chuck Clise, and Mike Mort blocked the track on the front straight and brought out the red flag. Yoder, with the championship in his sight, hot pitted and returned to the track. Lathroum, Friese and Mort also retuned but the other five cars were eliminated.
Satterlee lead again on the final restart and ran first over the remaining laps of the 61 lap championship to score the huge win. Angelichhio crossed the line in second followed by Wagner and Tavenner. Alex Ferree moved to the outside groove in the final laps to pass Miller for fifth. Miller finished sixth with Jason Covert, Dan Stone, Mason Zeigler and 20th starting Cosner rounding out the top ten.
Krape proved the track was still multi-groove after all the laps turned on it during the weekend, by winning the 38 lap UFo Semi-Late feature from the ninth position. Dan Smeal charged into the lead at the initial green flag. Four cautions slowed the first nine laps with Smeal continuing show the way and Krape picking off positions on the outside lane. When the race returned to green, Krape tracked down Smeal and took the lead on lap 13. Sixth starting Eric Irvin moved into second to attempt to take the lead from Krape and defend his event win.
After another caution on lap 26, Krape continued to lead. 11th starting Robbie Black grabbed second from Irvin with only five laps remaining. On that same lap the, final caution of the race appeared. Black challenge Krape when the race resumed, but Krape was first to the line.
