Cameron Marlar was the pole sitter for the race and led the first
11 laps of the race. Overton got underneath Marlar to take the
lead. Several laps later, Tim McCreadie and Mike Marlar both passed
the younger Marlar to take over second and third respectively.
The first 51 laps of the 60-lap race went caution free as Overton
lapped up to 10th place. A lap 51 caution bunched of the field
and gave McCreadie and Marlar a crack at the lead. When the green
flag waved over the field, Marlar used his low line to dive underneath
Overton. But Overton was too strong on the outside and cruised
to the win. Marlar held on for second and McCreadie finished third.

J.J. Garrett won the Kajun Mini Stock Association race. Garrett
grabbed the early lead as the action behind him was intense. Shannon
Ethridge, John Smart, and Cody Keith were locked in a tight battle
for second through much of the race. Keith eventually spun and
had to go to the rear of the field. That allowed Michael Courtney
to get into the mix. Ethridge held off the others to put some
pressure on Garrett in the closing laps. Garrett held on for the
win over Ethridge and Smart.
