Elizabeth Weigelt took the early lead in the first 15-lap feature for the
Winged Women on Wheels division. Weigelt held on to the lead until
Linnea Weerda took over the top spot on lap 3. The caution flew on lap 9
when Amanda Maxwell spun coming out of turn four. On the re-start, Tammy
Hawkins got by Weerda on the inside to take over the top spot with nine laps
to go. Becky Proehl would take over the second spot with Alicia Magee in
third. At the finish it was Hawkins with the win.
Sabrina Castillo grabbed the lead in the start of the second feature
event. The caution flew on lap 4 when Magee and Amy Flippo got together
going into turn one and both heading to the outside wall. Magee’s car
would have a small fire but she would be able to walk away. Castillo
spent the final 11 laps holding off Proehl. At the checkers, it was
Castillo with the win over Proehl. Flippo would come back to finish
third. Hawkins came home fourth with Weigelt in fifth
Proehl’s two second place finish would give her the overall win.
Mangiaracina took home the 13-lap Hornet Swarm. Harvey Foster was the
early leader and had to fight off Mangiaracina. On lap 7, Mangiaracina
would take advantage of a re-start and take over the top spot from
Foster. He would pull away from Foster to the checkered flag. Nick
Lasher would sneak by Foster at the stripe for second. Ben Montemayor

start over Blume and he was penalized two positions. Jusits would get by
Blume with two laps to go to take home the win.
Bilderback took advantage of the lap traffic to take home the 15-lap Legend
feature.
Ryan Miles had the lead until two laps to go when he came upon lap
traffic. Miles went low to try to get by the lap traffic. This
allowed Kyle Lapier to get by Miles on the outside for the lead in turns one
and two. But as they went into turns three and four, Lapier got stuck
with lap traffic and this allowed Bilderback to sneak by. Bilderback
would grab the win with Lapier holding on to second. Miles would come
home third.
