Appleton racer Kevin Eggert, fresh off a heat win, was the polesitter for the feature. Jeff Schmidt from Slinger was seated on the outside of row one, then Beaver Dam's Joe Pantely and Chilton's Dave Lisowe in the third and fourth starting spots.

starting from the ninth spot.

bit, but Eggert managed to hold the lead again after the restart. Sippel, starting third
on the restart, swiftly moved into second, while Fredonia's Mike Kertscher motored his way
into the forth spot.
After fifteen laps, Sippel took the lead away from Eggert and never looked back. One last caution was brought out for Dave Lisowe after he wound up spinning out into the infield.
