Another driver to pull off there first Chateau Feature Win was USRA B Mod Driver Kevin Johnson who was still listed as from Bakersfield California on the entry sheet although he just moved to Austin this past week. He and brother Michael Johnson, who moved to Austin before the season, finished one-two and celebrated in victory lane one week after Michael got his first Chateau Feature win. The two had raced out on the west coast before moving to the area and making Chateau there new home track. Heat winners were Hunter Kennedy of St Ansgar Iowa and Michael Johnson.

In Power 96 WISSOTA Pure Stock Andrew Eischens of Taopi scored another feature win as he made a late pass on Jack Maas of Faribault for the win and completed the sweep of the class for the night.
