Travis Rutz won the first heat in his Rutz Racing #8 XXX. Heat two went to Cory Chamberlain in the Bob &Lori Scott owned #7s Maxim.
Preceding his second place run in the 410 class, Nick Engberg grabbed his first win of 2009 in the Budweiser 360 series main, leading all 25 laps in his Dri-Eaz #4 XXX. Engberg held off a strong challenge from rookie Cody Anderlini in his Broke Guy Racer #15c Maxim who dogged Engberg on the bottom of the race track all night en route to a career best second. Third went to Rod Perkins in the Classic Rock 92.9fm #69 XXX. Heat race wins went to Brock Lemley in the Haling Seafood #40 XXX, Mack Brown in the Birch Equipment #96 XXX and Brian Kirkpatrick in the Hyundai #5k XXX.

Ryan Nootenboom led all 20 laps of the Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprint main event for his first career main event win.
