Jay Foley of Fairystone led flag-to-flag in the Street Stock event, followed by Kenny Wagner of Roanoke and Randy Arrington of Redwood.

Chad Smith of Rocky Mount beat out Tim Hogan of Rocky Mount in the Six-Cylinder race. Brian Spangler of Floyd was third.

Clifford Jackson of Roanoke won his fifth rookie event of the season, and 13-year-old Donnie Taylor, son of track promoter Whitey Taylor, finished seventh in his first race.
