Last year’s Larry Phillips Memorial winner, Terry Phillips of Springfield, MO, was running in the top five before a broken axle would force him to the infield area and end his night. Justin Wells of Aurora, MO started thirteenth in the feature and quickly found himself racing in third, however a flat tire on lap 35 would force him to the tail of the field but he recovered for a seventh place finish.

Payne records his 10th career win with the MARS series.
