July 3, 1999; Marshfield, WI: - Since the weather was overcast all day, the sun was unable to heat the track and time trials commenced as usual.

Randy Bargender was fast timer in the 1-Man Cruisers.

In the CWRA Late Model feature Joe Krzykowski drove off with the early lead. Brian Seubert was hot on Krzykowski's heels. On lap nine the first caution was thrown for a spin. On the re-start, Krzykowski led, Seubert second, Gary Back third, Rory Melbinger who made his way from an 11th place start to fourth and Keith Witt fifth. Back and Seubert battled for second over the next four laps until lap 15 when a spin sent Seubert to the back of the pack.

Pettis then began to go after the lead but at the checkered, he ran out of laps. Fisher won, Pettis second, Dwayne Vetrone third, Kemp fourth and Pat Hinner fifth.
