Lap-9: Traffic, Neitzel is cruising as Kelsey ducks to the infield. Lap-12: Hafemann finally asserts himself and takes command of 3rd out of turn 2 as Biertzer follows suit through turns 3-4.

Lap leaders: Mike Reinke 1-28, Travis Whitney 29-30.
Meyer got the initial lead up until the field was realigned after the yellow is out for a tangle in turn 4 between Warren and Modjeski. Warren ducked into-and-out-of the work area to restart, Modjeski was done. Reinke takes the lead on the restart over Haeni, Meyer and Whitney. Meyer would take runner-up next time around as Wasmund calls it a night with driveline (?) issues around Lap-4. Lap-7: Traffic, Reinke leads Meyer, Haeni, Whitney, Young, King, Sexton, Balog, Kristan, Winker…Lap-12: Whitney takes 2nd on the frontstretch. Young spanked the wall if not 2 times losing positions. Lap-14: Yellow is out after Sexton spins in turns 1-2 and lost his solid Top-10 position. Under caution, Goeden would duck pit side with brake issues as Irwin also would duck into the pit with overheating/oil issues. O’Neal receives the Lucky Pass. Restart running order: Reinke, (Symoens) Whitney (Hafemann)(Warren) Meyer, Haeni, Young, King, Balog, Kristan, Neitzel and S. Uttech in 10th. On the restart, Hafemann would look good holding off Whitney for a few laps. Lap-17: Yellow is out after Winker spun in turn 4. Hafemann would receive this Lucky Pass, as the Top-4 will now restart nose-to-tail. Lap-19: Winker is done for the night after his 2nd spin and yellow in turns 1-2. Warren gets the Lucky Pass on this one. Lap-21: Haeni is into 3rd out of turn 4 as Balog hovers now around 4th-5th. Lap-23: Yellow is out after Symoens and Dodd tangle in turn 4-Symoens ducks into the work area and restarts, Dodd is done. The final laps wound down caution free as Whitney reeled in Reinke who appeared to have nearly lost the handle on the ride a lap-or-two before allows Whitney to close in and take the lead out of turn 4 as the white flag is hoisted.
Next IRA race is up in Seymour Speedway, WI tonight, September 2nd.
