The Street Stocks kicked off the feature portion of the program with Bob Czarapata taking the point for the first 2 laps before T.J. White moved into the top spot. White stayed in front for 6 laps while the field sorted out right behind. Harley Simon moved into the lead on lap 9 with Paul White following into the runner up spot. The leaders ran side by side for a couple laps before White took the lead. Simon stayed right behind with Bill Kelsey moving into third with T.J. White, Derek Lecker and Todd Everard in tow.
Over the final laps, the battle between Simon and Kelsey allowed White to open a slight lead, until a late race caution on lap 18 set up a wild finish. Under green for the final 2 laps, Kelsey made a run on the outside of Simon for second and the pair tried to sandwich the leader out of turn 2. White pulled ahead with Simon retaking the second spot. White was still leading entering the final lap. Out of the second turn, Simons car exploded in a cloud of smoke, Kelsey was running right behind and slammed the rear of Simons car, breaking the radiator. The mix of oil from Simon and water from Kelsey, caused a wild scramble entering turn 3 as the caution came out to end the race a lap early. White claimed his second straight feature win and in doing so, became the new point leader. Simon was the cause of the caution which gave Kelsey the second place finish. Lecker was third, Jeremy Wiitala fourth, Samantha Olson fifth and T.J. White sixth.
