The Sit’n Bull Tire Shootout had Eric Gledhill and Cory Turner starting on the front row to begin the 25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Cory Turner was able to get around Gledhill and lead the first seven laps. NASCAR Truck Series regular and dirt track ace Stewart Friesen quickly entered the top five after starting in eleventh on the grid while Mike Bowman swept into the lead on lap seven.
The lap counter quickly ticked down while Friesen hunted down Cory Turner for the second spot, eventually overtaking Turner. Bowman took advantage of their battle and extended his lead further; this proved to be his key to success as he picked up the victory and the $10,000 grand prize from Sit’N Bull Tire. Rounding out the top five were Friesen in second, Cory Turner third, Dylan Westbrook fourth, and Matt Farnham fifth.

John Cadman and Dale Curran brought the field to the green flag for the 25 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Cadman rocketed out in front of the field, leading the first three laps. Mike Bowman charged his way into first after finding a line that worked perfectly for his setup; this allowed him to thread through traffic, putting a three second margin over the field.
The rest of the field were racing hard but fair as there were no cautions throughout the entire race. Bowman was the head of the class as he crossed the finish line with only three cars left on the lead lap and picked up the $5,000 grand prize from Sit’N Bull Tire. Next to cross the finish line were Cadman in second, Rob Neely third, Mack DeMan fourth, and Matt Billings fifth.
