15 laps were set for the Limited Sprint Cars in their feature event. Branden Skeeters of Arlington and Roseburg, Ore driver Brian Boswell set the front row. Boswell took the early lead with Stanwood's Axel Oudman moving into second. Boswell ran the high side of the raceway, as Oudman stayed low trying to take over the top spot. Oudman looked to slowly gain on Boswell but a bobble down the front stretch saw Boswell pull away to over a straight away and win the caution free main event. Oudman and Skeeters rounded out the finish. Oudman won the heat race earlier in the evening and picked up quick time.

Hornets

12 hornets set the field for the 15-lap feature event. Spencer LeCompte of Aberdeen and Belfair's Max Sanford set the front row. Sanford took the early lead. The battle for second saw Kaleya Onasch of Aberdeen and Olympia's Devon Harper. It was Harper that would take the runner up spot looking to track down Sanford. Cory Sweatman of Aberdeen and Port Orchard driver Megan White also joined in on the battle. Sweatman worked his way past LeCompte and Harper to move into the second position. Sanford looked to the low side of the raceway most of the feature event. Sweatman joined in to do battle for the lead and took the top spot, on lap 4. Harper and Onasch continued to battle for third. Lap 9 saw Olympia's Zach Dalrymple stop in turn one, after making contact with an infield tire in turn two a lap earlier. On the restart it was Sweatman leading Sanford, Onasch and Harper. Lap 11 saw contact between LeCompte and White, as White went up on her side in turn three and coming back down on all four wheels. She was ok and did continue the feature event. Sweatman continued to lead with just a handful of laps left as Onasch worked her way around Sanford. Onasch caught up with Sweatman and made a last lap pass down the backstretch and picked up her first career Hornet feature event. Sweatman, Sanford, Spanaway's Jacob Saulsbury and Steve Morgan rounded out the top five. Heat race winners were Dalrymple and Harper.

TJ Richman of Deer Island, Ore led the field to the green flag in the 25-lap feature event. It was Jeff Dunlap of Renton taking the early lead with Shelton's Jay Cole right there, taking the lead in turn three. Cole looked strong out front with Dunlap and Jesse Schlotfeldt of Arlington in third. The caution flag flew on Lap 1 for Roseburg, Ore driver Brian Boswell, as he spun in turn one. On the restart it was Cole, Dunlap, Schlotfeldt and Olympia's Eric Rockl looking to take over the top spot. Cole timed his restart just right to get some distance as Schlotfeldt worked his way into second. Boswell saw more issues doing a complete 360 in turn four and continuing on. The battle for the fourth position between Rockl and Mt. Vernon driver Trevor Cook was the race to watch, with Cook taking the spot in turn three. Cole and Schlotfeldt continued to pull away from the rest of the field as Schlotfeldt continued to get closer to Cole. Schlotfeldt looked low a handful of times but was not quite there until lap 12 he would take over the lead out of turn four. Schlotfeldt slowly extended his lead on Cole, as the battle for third was the race to watch between Dunlap and Cook. Lap 19 saw Cook take over the podium spot from Dunlap. Schlotfeldt would pick up the win over Cole, Cook, Dunlap, and Rockl. Dunlap won the heat race earlier in the evening, as Cook picked up quick time.
