Dollansky grabbed the point on lap 3, while Madsen and Jacobs were wheel to wheel for third with Brian Brown closing in. Brown put a slide job on Jacobs in turns1-2, Jacobs returned the favor in 3-4, Brown got back by Jacobs on lap 4 for good. With Dollansky running away from the field, the only battle was Jacobs and Aaron Berryhill for fifth. Berryhill went by and hunted down Brown for fourth, getting past in the final laps.

Paulus Spoils Storybook Finish Paulus and Tatnell paced the 24 car field to green for the start of the 30 lap A-main. As the flag waved, Rookie of the Year contender, Kraig Kinser moved from row 2 into the lead going into turn 1. As the top ten sorted out, there was still three and four wide racing back in the pack. K. Kinser got some space as Paulus and Tatnell ran side by side for second. Tatnell got the spot on lap 4 but Paulus fought back. Allard brought on the yellow on lap when he went for a spin coming out of turn 4. Tatnell tried K. Kinser low on the restart, but K. Kinser held him off. Stewart and Meyers resumed their dash #1 battle, this time for fifth spot. The duo were still scrapping for the position on lap 10, while Swindell and Friday IROC winner, Danny Lasoski were mired in 16th and 17th respectively. K. Kinser ran up on heavy traffic on lap 11, giving Tatnell the chance to close in. With K. Kinser on the high groove and Tatnell running low, the duo sliced through traffic, until K. Kinser cleared first and got a little breathing room. At halfway the top five were K. Kinser, Tatnell, Paulus, Stewart and Meyers. Dollansky expired his motor on lap 17 and rolled to a stop on the track to bring out a caution. K. Kinser had Allard as a buffer as the race restarted, but Tatnell jumped Allard to soon as green waved. WoO officials determined Tatnell was trying to avoid Allard who got a bad restart so Tatnell was not sent back any positions for passing before the cone. K. Kinser got a good jump on Tatnell as they restarted again, with two-three wide racing in the field behind them. Tatnell’s chance at challenging for the win went up in smoke, literally, on lap 20, when he blew up for the final yellow. K. Kinser once again had a lap between himself and now second place runner, Paulus as race resumed. K. Kinser pulled away, while Stewart and Meyers were still a couple, now scrapping for third. With five to go the top five had spread out and it looked like the young K. Kinser was going to grab his first ever WoO A-Feature win, joining his dad, Steve and Uncle, Mark Kinser on the TMS Dirt Track list of winners. But wait..... Paulus changed his line and started eating into K. Kinsers lead closing in every corner. Paulus caught K. Kinser on lap 28 and snuck by on the low to get the lead and ruin a good headline and story. Paulus got slowed by a lap car on the white flag lap, but K. Kinser was not close enough to capitalize. Paulus in his P&P Motorsports/Arnold Transportation/Hanks Performance Products/Kistler Powered/Maxim Chassis was able to grab the checkers and the $10,000 payday. The win was only the second A-Feature win for Paulus, his first coming at Hartford Speedway(Michigan) in 2003.
