Sportsman
Kody Hubred and Nick Bruley stole the show for the Lilly Auto Care Center Sportsman. The friendly rivals sliced their way through the competition and fiercely battled up front. Hubred slipped up and allowed Bruley to get to the inside. That’s the opportunity the Fast Qualifier and defending Track Champion needed. Bruley proves to be the driver to beat by winning the first feature of the season.

Hobby Stocks
Gaven Smothers and Braeden Yelland traded the lead lap after lap in the first half of the Hard Rock Landscape Hobby Stock Feature. Smothers would get spun around, ending his hopes for the win. Yelland would fend off challenges from fast qualifier, Waylon Robinson and Jim Tate Jr. to claim his first career feature victory. At the checkers it was Yelland, Tate Jr., Shane Radtke Jr., and Robinson.
UPDATE: Jim Tate Jr. Unfortunately didn’t pass tech which hands the win to Braeden Yelland! Well done battle by both drivers!

International
The Wolff Pack Apparel and Promotions International Feature saw the hardest wreck of the night. Camden Ricketts jumped out to the early lead. The youngster lost the handle on his machine and turned himself head on into the backstretch wall. The wreck collected many top contenders, including the new track record holder, Matt Berger. Action continued with Jason Uttech, Karter Stark, and Merek Pankow carving their way through the field. Stark would flex his muscle and drive on for the feature win.
