On lap 8, Schneider took the lead coming out of turn two with Dan Snyder racing side by side with Wondrash for second. Snyder took second on lap 11 and quickly dialed in Schneider and with seven laps to go were even at the line.
Schneider and Snyder continued to run side by side with Schneider getting the advantage with two laps to go. But Snyder wasn’t done as he moved to the inside of Schneider and took the lead after making contact coming out of turn three. From there Snyder was able to hold off Schneider to pick up the checkered flag. Edwards, Wondrash, and Mason Hellenbrand completed the top five.
The 8 lap heat races were won by Nick Schneider and Dan Snyder.

On lap 10, Thompson got second back from Martindale but was almost half a lap behind Flanagan who cruised the rest of the way to victory lane.
“It feels great. I would like to thank all of my sponsors for getting me here,” said Flanagan who received a large ovation from the crowd. She also won a special prize package and Kwik Trip Gift Card from the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
