After Mother Nature cooperated and racing returned to "America’s Bucket List Track" with 109 total entries across six IMCA classes. It was $500.00 to win IMCA Sport Compacts presented by Minute Man Painting.

First to the track where the IMCA Mod Lites presented by Drury Automotive. Dillion Bush from Milo, IA, started on the pole after Garret Barber elected to start from the tail with Garrison Anderson from Huxley, IA, to his outside. Austin Gray, who started 5th, took the lead early and would never look back as he held off Bryan Zhem to secure the IMCA Mod Lites presented by Drury Automotive feature event. Chaz Baca, Josh May, and Jaxon Carr rounded out the top five.

Following the IMCA Mod Lites presented by Drury Automotive feature, it was time for the IMCA SportMods presented by Rugged Radios feature. Kaden Rice, from Mitchellville, IA, started on the pole with Matt Avila from Boone, IA, to his outside.

Race fans saw Avila and Carter slide for the lead like it was nothing as Carter would get past Avila to secure the IMCA Mod Lites presented by Drury Automotive feature win. Will Wolf, Kyle Olson, and Colton Livezey would run a plus 11 to round out the top five.
