Great night of racing. 28 cars, actually. Heats went to Cottle, Welpott, Gardiner, and Puterbaugh. Semi was won by Clayton. The story of the night was Steve Ott. Just making the last transfer spot in his heat he started the feature in 16th. Right off the bat he started picking off cars and was in the top five by lap 9. He took 2nd with about 5 to go and was slowly reeling in Cottle. He got to about two car lengths of Shane at the end. Had it been a 30 lapper he might have won it. Look for the former Gas City UMP modified champ to win a feature early in the season. Seven total yellows and reds in the A main. Tough start to the season for last years two top point finishers. Both defending champ Billy P. and 2nd place Travis Welpott executed a double flip in turn two on lap 20. Both were ok as were Darren Clayton and Dustin Morgan who also went over in the feature. Despite a late start and all the yellows and reds the feature was checkered at 10:07. Top ten very unofficially were Cottle, Ott, Gardiner, Shuman, Neely, 71c (forgot name), Hamilton, Meseraul, Hendricks, and Goodnight. Only ten cars running at the finish.
