The race of the night occurred in the IMCA Hobby Stocks “A” feature where the winner–Joe Beller–held sole possession of the lead for all of a single lap. Beller’s first attempt was nullified by a caution that prevented the Norfolk driver’s pass of race leader Mark Arduser midway through the 15-lap race from being official, since a complete lap was not completed.
