Practice under some beautiful skies lead to most competitors taking advantage of the wide track and cooler temperatures. Two guys had misfortune when their engines let go and their night was done early. Six cars lined up for the 25 lap feature 2nd on the schedule. Marty's fast Falcon quit running during pace laps and had to be pushed off to the pits. The rest took off with a battle for the lead between Duffie Sams and Danny Toney. Kristi Peacock stayed in front of Howard  Scruggs from the start for the battle between the inline sixes. Danny Toney had the lead when the rain started getting heavier and at lap 16 Timmy Hutson, flagman, gave out the yellow and checkerd flag. Kristi Peacock grabbed her 2nd win at LPMP in her Duster ahead of Howard Scruggs for the inline 6 tie in season points with one race to go. The V8 season points can't get any closer with just one more race on the schedule with Doug Howell and Marty Reid tied at 188 points with 3rd place Jesse Martin at 171. Who knows what will happen when the CVR cars unload at the next event.

The CVR 25 lap feature was fast at the new fully paved 4/10 mile oval until lap 17 when Kristi Peacock lost a lot of fluid from turn 3 and down the front straight. Marty Reid came up thru the field, since he started at the rear since he won the last time out at Lonesome Pine. Marty had strong competition from Jerry Bryant, Danny Toney and Jesse Martin. Since CVR cars ran last in the evening, fans were treated with the closest finish of the night.  Since Peacock's car expired, Howard Scruggs cruised to get his 1st Inline 6 win of the season in his fan-favorite '51 Hudson Hornet.
