Former track champion Scott Patrick of Dousman led every lap of the 35 lap Late Model main event on Friday night to come home with the victory. Patrick would have to fight every lap to maintain his lead, while being frequently challenged for the top spot. Starting alongside Jerry Eckhardt on the front row, Patrick gained sole possession of the lead after an early caution on lap two. On the restart, Andy Wendt drove to the outside of the leader to mount his challenge for the lead. Patrick would remain out front with Eckhardt right behind and Wendt to his outside as the early laps ticked away. Wendt began to lose grip on the high side as light raindrops began to fall. Eckhardt pulled back into second alone and went to work on the leader. Eckhardt stayed on Patrick's rear bumper for the remainder of the race, looking for an opportunity to get by. But Patrick remained strong and held off Eckhardt to take the win. Eckhardt came home second followed by Dean Schultz, Randy Breunig and Ron Bishofberger.
