Wayne Freimund one of rookies in this division slipped in front of the super late model feature with Kent Burkoth Randy Rodgers and Rick Corso behind him.Burkoth inched ahead at the line on lap two with Freimund now taking the inside as Joe Fischer and Fran Prestay joined the fray at the front.Freimind’s persistence paid off regaining the lead on lap six.From then until lap nine it was nearly a dead heat for the lead as Burkoth led the next go round.

There was another side by side battle behind the these two with third place Corso just waiting for an opportunity to grab the top spot. Shuffling for positions on lap ten Freimund forged in front with Burkoth feeling Rodgers at his side with Corso now fourth. On lap eleven the first three rows were side by side for their positions in a flawless race. Burkoth moved in front two laps later and by lap nineteen the top seven were under a blanket as the crowd was treated to so of the best racing of the season.

Rodgers worked on Freimund but there was no change until lap fourteen as Rodgers maneuvered his way into second.It was too close to call all the way back to tenth as Rodgers crept up on the inside of the leader. Two laps later Rodgers was the leader for a split second after Burkoth spun wildly onto the infield out of the way as the race continued after contact up front. Freimund used all his horse power to take control of that top spot again before the lap had ended.

Right behind the leader it was another hotly contested race with Rodgers feeling the pressure from Corso, Fischer and Landry Potter. It took Rodgers three laps to move back in front with Eddie May entering  the top four on lap thirty. Within three laps May was on a mission to the front as he and Freimund raced side by side On lap thirty six it was Rodgers and May show at the front. With just ten laps to go May climbed in front of the field with Jerry Mueller working on Potter.

May walked way with the win as Rodgers held back Freimund, Mueller and Potter for a real barn burner. A post race inspection dropped Mueller from the finish as Corso was then credited with fifth. Mueller's weight percentage did not add up even though he was fifty pounds heavy overall.

Mike Bell held on to the lead of the super stock feature for two laps before Aaron Williams moved in front.Two laps later Adam Regnier slipped in front Willms held onto second until lap nineteen when Trevor Mock went past him. It was quite the race for second through tenth as Regnier easily won the event over Mock a rookie in his best finish to date. Mike Kooi was third with Doug Peterson and Willms a second year driver next.

Ken Joosten a rookie in the sportsman class shot out front with Zac Deeringer next with Mike Monroe and Dan Erickson in a tie for third. On lap eleven Mike DeKeuster and Shawn Utphall tangled bringing the race to a halt. On lap later fast timer Monty Coffman went flat on the restart and everyone but Utphall and DeKeuster missed him causing the another delay.

Finally underway Joosten moved back in front with Deeringer scooting in front two laps later just before a spin by Denny Norton Jr. and this produced another caution. The final caution came on lap nineteen as Deeringer and Monroe got together. On the restart Joosten was again the leader with a mixing of cars with three laps to go as Jerry Freeman became the leader and winner of the event. Joosten was second with James Swan, Terry Crowell and point leader Mike Lange next.

This coming Monday night the Lions Club great race number two takes place with time trials at 6pm. races at 7pm. Then next Saturday night Burlington camper and travel and Hi Liter Graphics presents the final "Trailer Race" of the year. The sportsman join the super late models and super stocks in a full race program. Time trials begin at 6 pm. racing at 7:30 pm. sharp.
