Leading green to checkers, Hindman inherited the pole position after Jerry Coffman (feature #1 winner, from 8/22 rainout) and Kevin Gibson failed to start the night's 2nd Late Model feature twice.

In the firsr Late Model feature from last weekend's rain-out, Jerry Coffman in the A-1 Towing, & Service Center, AAA" sponsored race car picked up the points lead after dominating the 25 lapper. Coffman would be regulated to a fourth place finish after being penalized at the start of feature #2. 

In the Crate Late Model class, Morristown’s Forrest Trent got the win passing early race leader Jason Deal for his victory. The # 101 “Storm Service 101 Disaster Recovery, Holston River Machine, Van Lester Trucking” sponsored team held off challenges from teammates Brian Pritchard and Ethan Hunter for the win in the rain-out make-up race.
 
In race #2, Jimmy Elliott of Cleveland brought his MoHawk Nation to Victory Lane beating racing legend Ray Cook in the process. Elliott grabbed the lead from the outside pole in his # J39 “Elliotts Tire Center & Auto Sales, CarSmart Auto Sales, Stealth Racing Carburetors, COR Suspension, American Race Tires” CVR race car and would bring home his first season win.
