Wahwahsuck started at the tail end of the 20-car grid in the 20th position and maneuvered his way up to a ninth-place finish. In the same division, Aaron Myers of Atchison put on an impressive display, advancing eight spots from 14th to finish sixth.

In the Schweizer Performance USRA Stock Cars feature, Gavin Grier of Cameron, Mo., and Jason Newman of Kearney, Mo., both showed serious speed. Grier started 13th and battled his way up to seventh, while Newman gained eight positions after starting 17th to finish ninth.
