Thirty-one Elwer Fence Sprints competed for the right to be in the main event. Jared Horstman and Mike Dunlap found themselves on the front row after a 12-car inversion. Horstman and Dunlap battled until Horstman clipped a tire in turn three. This caused front end damage and as he set his car in turn one, the front end dug in and he flipped his car. After a restart, another collision between Tim Allison and JR Stewart found Stewart gently tumbling just below the flag stand. Meanwhile, Dunlap was looking very strong at the point during each restart. The next red flag was for an upside down Corey Seeling. It appeared that Seeling and Dain Naida had some contact which initiated the tumble. And, not to be outdone, a hard-charging Tim Allison made contact with the turn one wall and got his mount upside down for the fourth and final red flag on the sixteenth lap. Dunlap was the car to beat until slight contact with the wall broke a front end piece and he started sliding backwards and ultimately caused a yellow for debris. Does it seem like the race lasted forever? It did, but the wait for the finish was worth double the price of admission. The lap twenty-one restart had Mike Brecht, Darren Long, Luke Hall, Mike Miller, and Dustin Daggett in the top five. Brecht held off Long until the last lap. As the two drivers began the last lap, Brecht committed to the high groove, Long to the bottom. When they rocketed off the final corner, Long surged to the lead and snagged his second last-lap victory in two weeks.
