Joe Dekutoski looked like he might get his first career win in BB, one too many cautions ended his chances. Ricky Johnson gests around in turns 3 & 4 and has to start in the rear. By lap 10 Johnson was back in the top five really reeling in the top 5. Lap 14 Norman Short blew a big puff of smoke out the rear and ending his night. Lap 14 Johnson was 3rd, and on the restart he moved into 2nd as a caution flew for Glenn Richards car around. Another caution for Richards and Howard O’Neal, Duane Rust all tangled in turn 3. Richards and O’Neal were sent to the pits for consultation. Lap 18 Johnson takes the lead. Laps 20 & 21 Matt Jester & Dekutoski run wheel to wheel for 2nd before Jester would claim it.
Mark Byram ran strong in the heat to win, but when the feature started the car did not go.

At halfway Simpson leads Hill, Ricky Elliott, Richard Jarvis, Jr. and Hertz. On lap 14 Elliott had taken the lead but the yellow was back out and the lap not in, so Elliott had to go back to 2nd. Again Elliott takes the lead on lap 15 just and the yellow came back out and the lap not in. Lap 16 on a restart Donald Lingo, Jr. got out of shape with help most likely, and sits just at the start of the infield and no yellow waved. Finally on lap 16 Elliott took the lead, with a lot of shuffling going on in the top 5.
Ross Robinson broke a shock in the heats and not able to make the show.

Ryan Walls 21.249 seconds and 84.710 MPH on lap 4
Jon Callaway 21.364 seconds and 84.254 MPH on lap 3
Dan Fielder 21.368 seconds and 84.238 MPH on lap 4
Jack Mullins, Jr. 21.396 seconds and 84.128 MPH on lap 2
Joe Warren started on the pole and on the start Jon Callaway clinched the lead. Jack Mullins, Jr. on lap 2 had contact from Herb Tunis and Mullins heads hard into the turn 4 / front stretch wall. Mullins was okay, but the car was not. His car was moved to the infield near turn 4. Mullins started 4th and Tunis started 2nd. Next lap or so Tunis has damage to his car and can't go on, he comes to the infield near turn 3. Mullins sees Tunis come in and runs over to his car, probably to check and see if he was okay. So that was entertaining. On lap 11 new comer George L. Ralph III heads off turn 4 even harder than Mullins to smack the 4th turn front stretch wall even harder. The car was destroyed but Ralph was okay, I saw him driving out on his own.
