On lap 19 the two races into slower traffic with Maxey making it three wide under Grady as they raced into turn 3. The two would touch sending both spinning and to the rear of the field. On the restart the race got real interesting as Ferguson and LaRoque went to beating on each other and exchanging the top spot until on lap 23 where LaRouqe took over the top spot for good holding Dan Arnold off at the line for his second win of the season. Rounding out the top 5 were Dan Arnold, Jimmy Duncan, Neal Hudgins and Chris Arnold. In the Truckin Thunder Sportsman 25 lap feature Wayne Carroll and J.R.

Wood would go on to collect his first win of 2011 followed by Todd Traylor, J.R. Guy, Wayne Carroll and Bubba Holloway Jr. In the Collision One Limited Stock 20 lap feature Joe Ender and Brett Adkins led the field to green with Enders leading the first circuit. The battle up front was intense with Enders, James Givens, Wesley Givens and Ryan Toole all in close proximity. On lap 7 point leader Wesley Givens and Toole got hooked together bringing out the races first caution sending both to the rear. Enders would pace the field with a comfortable cushion over James Givens and David Bowler. On a lap 18 restart Bowler would get inside Givens out of turn 2 to take over second. Givens would get into him going down the backstretch sending both into the turn 3 wall. On the final restart Ender would jump out a comfortable lead over Ricky Douglas and would cruise to the win followed by Douglas, Ryan Toole, Wesley Givens and Brandon Sandridge.
