Fourteen cars started the first main event and there was a crash on the first lap which set the tone of events that occurred during the night of racing action. Kyle Cooper grabbed the lead once the race got under way and led the first eight laps before he was passed by Justin Ward on lap nine. On lap ten Matthew Gilbert moved to the second position. On lap eleven Kyle Cooper moved back to the second position. On what appeared to be the final lap Cooper made a move back under Ward while Gilbert remained on the bumper of the top two as they battled side by side down the backstretch. When the three entered turn three there was contact and Ward’s car hit the wall and Cooper’s car spun and initially it appeared that Gilbert received the checkered flag. After Ward’s car bounced off the wall it exploded in flames which consumed the car until it was put out by the diligent track personnel at the Speedway. After a further review the flagman had the checkered flag in his hand at the time of the incident but never waved it to the apparent winner Matthew Gilbert. When the race went back to green flag conditions Matt Gilbert was at the front with Danny Sexton holding the second position.
