Whitlow won the A heat and started deep in the pack for the main event. An opening lap 5-car malay in turn one restarted the race and allowed Whitlow to move up quickly. Whitlow nudged by leaders Joel Schrader and Bob Willis with “Crazy Taxi” driver Darryl Carillio in tow.

Rodney Sankey scored his first Fever 4 main event of the season holding off John Vallone in the closing laps of the 30-lap feature for the win. Vallone finished second followed by fast time setter Mel Auckerman. Colton Garber and dash winner Matt Schoen rounded out the top five.
