Wilkins, Disomma, and Chris Paulson rounded out the top-five.

Jeremy Fritts of Roseville led from the pole in the second Super Stock feature. He faced pressure from both Wilkins and Peeler with Wilkins finally taking the top spot on lap eight. Schmidt found herself still relegated to seventh on lap nine. James Shelton spun on the backstretch while Peeler and Wilkins ran side-by-side. The race stayed green and Peeler used Shelton as a pick to lead lap ten.

Peeler then surrendered the lead back to Wilkins on lap 11. Peeler took control of the race on lap 13 with the lead.

Wilkins, Lavallee, and Schmidt engaged in a three-car battle for second that boiled over on lap 22 when they went three abreast into turn one. The caution flew as they spun with all three cars restarting at the tail of the field. Wilkins and Schmidt tangled again on the following restart, setting up a two-lap sprint to the finish. Peeler edged ahead of Disomma to score the sweep, with Lavallee and Wilkins coming back for third and fourth. Andrew Kemp rounded out the top-five.

Cole Moore extended his points lead in the NASCAR Late Models after a strong night that included his fourth win of the year in the division. Yorba Linda’s Dylan Garner went around the outside of Oklahoma’s Holley Hollan to lead lap one of the first twin main.
