In the opener, Frye started on the pole and led all the way, winning by six lengths.  Brandon Hinson edged Tommy Sweeney by half a car-length for second. Jamie Sample and Mark Claar rounded out the top five.
In the nightcap, Frye was the pole-sitter, but gave way to Hinson on the start. Hinson led laps 1 through 10 before Frye regained the top spot on Lap 11.  At the finish, Frye was the winner by nearly half a straightaway over Shawn Scovel.

Michael Waters, Bubba Johnston and Mark Claar tailed the lead duo to the checkers.
