Brett Kressley Storms to 2nd Win of the Season at Grandview Speedway 

Brett Kressley used the top lane to slash through the field and overtake the lead from Mike Lisowski on a  lap 13 restart and opened a 2.5 second lead over Jeff Strunk and Craig Von Dohren until two late race restarts bunched the field back up for a final lap shootout to the checkered.  Kressley continued his dominance of the night taking the final one lap shootout by a 1 second margin of victory and driving into victory lane for his second win of the season followed by Jeff Strunk in 2nd and Craig Von Dohren in 3rd .

Ray Swinehart led the first 9 laps until the first restart of the night when Mike Lisowski took the lead with Kressley moving into second.  The second caution flew on lap 12 and the ensuing restart saw Kressley move into the lead with Von Dohren and Struck close behind.  Kressley quickly pulled away from the field and overcame two additional late race restarts to take his second win of the season.

Heat race winners for the 32 car modified field were won by Justin Grim, Ray Swinehart and Ron Haring.

 Eric Biehn won the consolation race.
