16 cars, track was dry from the get go, Most cars ran the cushion in 1 & 2, with some passing on the bottom, turns 3&4 was all bottom feeding.
Alissa Geving led qualifying as the only car to make it into the 13 seconds timing in at 13.628

A-Main, 25 laps, all 16 cars made the call, Geving, as fastest qualifier to make it through the heats drew for the invert. Geving pulled a 10. Cars lined up behind the inversion by qualifying time.
1. #24, Johnson (2) 2. #43, Terrell(5) 3. #26, Aton(3) 4. #10x, Kirby(4) 5. #3x, Geving(10) 6. #57, Butler(11) 7. #27, Rollag(12) 8. #3A, Betournay(13) 9. #44, Beck(14) 10. #11k, Drew(16) 11, #17w, Wood(15) 12. #5c, Canales(6-DNF) 13. #84, Simpson(7-DNF) 14. #9n, Mendes(1-DNF) 15. #11, Haulot(9-DNF) 16. #24b, Bailey(8-DNF) - I beleive this was teenager Johnson's (16 years old?) 1st sprint car victory. He was one happy driver to see the checkered flag after several restarts over the final 5 laps. Johnson deftly handled lapped traffic on a hard to pass surface.The #5c of Canales was a car on the move and and battling Terrell for 2nd from lap 10 on when a late race tangle may have flattened his right front. Racing down the backstretch and on the brakes in turn 3 caused Canales to do a "tommy tip over" ending his night . No hard charger as most cars moved up due to sprinters starting in front of them and retiring from the race.
