Grenier would jump take control of the top spot on lap 1 and would survive various restarts to capture the win. The real battle would be for the 2nd spot as the fans were treated to a great battle for numerous laps between the 08 of Jojo Roberts and the 17 of Bobby Payne. After a multiple lap battle it would be Payne that would take control of the 2nd spot on lap 15 and he would not look back as he tried to reel in Grenier but would have to settle for runners up spot. On lap 19 Roberts would get passed by Quin for the 3rd spot. Quin would hold on to 3rd forcing Roberts to settle for 4th. Evan Jacobsen (80) would run a quiet race sneaking his way into the 5th spot.

Tystin Bodwell (17x) looking to end her spell of bad luck would start on the pole after taking the heat race win. She would be joined on the front row by the Steve Miller Sr. in the 68. Bodwell jumped out to the early lead with the 33 of Erin Aiken in tow.

It would take 18 circuits for Aiken to find a way around Bodwell for the top spot.

Leary ran away with the win but Jesse Jakubajtys in the 44 closed the gap towards the end of the 30 lap feature to finish 2nd. The battle for third was hotly contested throughout the event as Todd Warren (62) held the spot for the first 20 laps but Mike Marshall in the 29 was all over his rear bumper with newcomers to the high banks of Hudson speedway in the forms of Herve Thibodeau (2) and JT Cloutier (13) all under a blanket looking to pounce at any mistake.
