Nick Bilbee and Brady Short led the field to the green in the 30 lap Josh Burton Memorial feature. Short led lap one over Bilbee and Casey Shuman. Throughout the first few laps, Shuman and Bilbee diced back and forth for the second spot, with Bilbee holding the advantage on the bottom. The caution flew for the first time on lap five, as Brandon Morin looped his car in turn three. When action resumed, Bilbee made a charge for the lead under Short, but wasnt able to make the move stick on lap six. Short decided enough was enough, and pulled away to a half straight lead by lap nine. Shuman was able to get around Bilbee for second on lap ten, but was still a full straightaway behind Short. Bilbee took the runner up spot back away from Shuman on lap 13, as Shane Cottle closed in on the duo. Dave Darland moved to the fourth spot on lap 17, getting around Cottle. Darland then took third away from Shuman a lap later. With ten laps to go, Short held a half track advantage over Bilbee in second. The caution flew for the second time on lap 22, as Cottle spun off the backstretch. When the green flew, Short immediately shot out to a huge lead over Bilbee, who had three lapped cars stuck between he and the leader. With the result not in doubt, Short cruised to the win over Bilbee, Darland, Chad Boespflug, and Kevin Thomas Jr. The win was Shorts third in a row at the Speedway.
Sprint Car heat wins went to Max McGhee, Nick Bilbee, Jon Stanbrough, and Shane Cottle. The BMain winners were Kyle Cummins and Brent Beauchamp
