In the first Late Model feature race Mark Smith seemed to be in a different area code, as he pulled away and left the rest of the race field in his dust. The Myersdale pilot could do no wrong as he sliced and diced his way through lapped traffic on his way to another feature win. The best battles on the track were for second through fifth, as Barry Awtey captured the runner-up position in front of a persistant Travis Geisler and Bobby Henry, who finished in third and fourth respectivly. Shawn Beam made a last lap pass on Neil Brown to take home a fifth place finish.

The second Late Model race was a tough battle between Brad Creighton and Shawn Beam, who stayed glued to each other, until Beam got by for the lead on lap eighteen. From that point on it was all Shawn Beam, who was driving his back-up racecar, after an accident during last weeks race put his primary car out of commission. Second through fifth place finishers were close enough to throw a blanket over, as Creighton held onto second, with Jeff Dunmyer, Travis Geisler, and Bobby Henry closed out the top five. 

It was a Todd Price night in the Jennerstown Pro Truck division as the Alum Bank, PA driver held off the rest of his competitors to take both feature race wins. In the first race, it was a tight battle for the second spot, which saw the truck of Aaron Will get turned around on the final turn of the race, and actually record a third place finish while scraping down the inside retaining wall, backwards. Josh Coughenour took the second place honors, with Dave Brunell and Marion Reno Jr. rounding out the top five. 

The second Pro Truck feature race was a little bit harder for Price, as the starting field’s top ten drivers were inverted from the finishing order of the first feature race. That put Price back in the tenth position, and challenged the driver to work through the front of the field. Price used his superior handling to his advantage, and took over thte lead on lap twenty. The race was not exactly over at that point though, as George Englert put up a valiant fight, including leading the next to last lap, but in the end it was Price who prevailed to capture the checkered flag. Englert finished within a fender length for second place, while Marion Reno Jr., Brandon Manns, and Josh Coughenour completed the top five. 

The Brown Timber and Land Street Stock feature races were a contrast in styles, as Todd Knight and Tracy Colarusso seemed poised to dominate the entire night’s racing action. Knight pulled out to the early lead over Colarusso in race one, with the two battling throughout the twenty five-lap event. Colarusso took over the top position on lap twenty and continued onto the checkered flag for the race win.  Adam Kostelnik made a last lap pass around Knight to finish in second, with Knight in third.  Carl Trevarrow and Chris Deyarmin finished fourth and fifth.  

The second Brown Timber and Land Street Stock race saw Todd Knight learn from his earlier mistake, as the Plum, PA driver led from lap two until the checkered flag.  Tracy Colarusso methodically worked his way through the field to take home second place.  Third through fifth went to Jim Nicola, Adam Kostelnik and Chris Deyarmin.   

It was another Jason and Jason show in the Jennerstown Charger division, as Jason Fritz and Jason Holder each picked up feature wins.  In the first race it was Jason Fritz taking control on lap four from Pete Walrath, and leading the rest of the way to the checkered flag.  The closest battle was for second between Greg Praysner and Jason Holder, who battled to the final lap, where Praysner took control and finished second with Holder right behind in third.  Walrath came home in fourth with Travis Smith in fifth.   

In the second feature Pete Walrath started from the pole and pulled out to a big lead in the first nine laps.  Jason Holder continued to close the gap until lap ten when he took the lead.  Walrath hung on for second place in front of Greg Praysner, Jason Fritz and Travis Smith, who rounded out the top five.  

The Cover Insurance Agency/PA Legacy Series feature races turned into the Rick Boyer show, as the Blairsville, PA driver took control of both races en route to winning both events.  The first race saw Boyer staring in third position, and taking the lead on lap eight from Will Thomas.  A close battle ensued between Thomas and Joey Dennewitz as the pair finished second and third behind Boyer.  Todd Peck and Ricky Anderson completed the top five.   

The second feature event for the Cover Insurance Agency/PA Legacy Series saw Boyer once again starting in third position but this time it only took him three laps to reach the lead position, which he led onto for the remainder of the event.  This time his closest competition came from Jayme Bolkovac who shadowed him to the finish line.  Joey Dennewitz, Chris Brink and Art McEhlinney finished third through fifth.   

Chantal Germek won her first Ladies Enduro race of the season by beating out Connie Henry, Tiffany Bellavance, Tiffany Shaffer and Kimberly Rhoads who finished second through fifth. 

Two-time National Super Mini Cup Champion David Elswick captured the special event win at the Laurel Highlands Oval.  Matt Wallace, David Miller, David Smith and Ken Stabley completed the top five.
