Manufacturer races were the last two races on the track with the SportMods being the first ones to go. Jimmy Davy and Tim Eaton started from the front row but it was Izac Mallicoat leading early with Brayton Carter close behind. Carter made his move on lap four and it was all over as he sped off to the win. Mallicoat finished second with Dylan VanWyk third, Cory Pestotnik fourth and Jake Sachau fifth.
Stock Cars were the last one on the track for their manufacturer’s race with Bob Daniels and Nick Roberts out front. Damon Murty flew to the lead early and led to the end to take the win. Dallon Murty finished second with Michael Jeannette third, Bob Daniels fourth and Derek Green fifth.
