Several times Williams pulled up alongside Bare to battle for the lead but each time Bare would hold Williams off. The two diced through lapped traffic staying within inches of each other. On several occasions the two made it three wide with a lapped car bringing the fans to their feet. In the end Bare was able to hold off Williams by .218 seconds at the line. “I feel like a just ran a two hundred lap race, the track was in great condition for having so much rain yesterday,” commented Bare in Whos’YourDriver.org victory lane. Bare added, ”those last few laps were intense as we worked through lapped traffic and I have to thank Justin (Williams) for driving me clean.” Rounding out the top five were Justin Williams, Walker Arthur, Mark Parks and Corey Almond. In other action Brett Atkins of Saluda, VA held off Tim Shelton of Fredericksburg, VA for the Truckin Thunder Sportsman win; Joey Polevoy of Powhatan, VA survived two of his own spins to come from the rear twice to win the Budweiser Modified feature and in the Collision One Limited Stocks Ryan Hutchens of Providence Forge, VA wrestled the led from James Givens on lap 8 to grab the lead and eventual win. In the Budweiser Modified 30 lap feature Joey Polevoy grabbed the lead from Jeff Solinger on lap 2 and looked to be stretching the lead out until he spun while leading on lap 10 as result of a flat right rear tire. Polevoy would join the rear of the field and would scramble his way back to the front. On lap 22 he spun once again relegating him to the rear of the field for a second time. By lap 28 he was battling with Briand Dobie and Mike Reynolds for second when his car jump a rut and collected the other two drivers. Polevoy kept going as caution came out. On the restart Polevoy worked inside Tim Schulte for the lead taking over the top spot with one lap to go. Polevoy would take the win with Schulte, James Sparks, Francis Jarrelle III and Jeff Solinger rounding out the top five. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 30 lap feature it looked like Michael Hayes would lead from start to finish but on lap 26 something broke on his car sending him for a spin and to the infield. That handed the lead to Brett Atkins who had to fend off fast qualifier Tim Shelton who worked his way to the front again after two early spins. Atkins would take the win by seconds. Rounding out the top five were Shelton, Steve Causey, James Snead and Chad Beahr. The Collision One Limited Stock feature may have been the most entertaining race of the night. It took James Givens just two laps to come from his fourth-place starting position to grab the lead from Corey Bradley with Ryan Hutchens following into second. On lap 8 Givens and Hutchens traded some paint as the two battled door to door for the top spot. Hutchens would emerge with the lead. Givens tried to get back around him but would bring out a curation and send him to pit road for repairs. Hutchens would have to fend off Cory Bradley and Chad Champion over the final 10 laps of the feature. Hutchens would finally pull away as Champion and Bradley tussled over the runner-up spot. Hutchens would go on to take the win, his third opening night wins in a row. Rounding out the top five were Chad Champion, Cory Bradley, Eddie Dettbarn and Marty Coltrain.
