3. Jon Agan
4. Thomas Kennedy
5. Jamie Ball 
6. Aaron Reutzel
7. Danny Lasoski
8. Seth Brahmer
9. Seth Bergman
10. Matt Moro 

Tim Shaffer leads Kennedy, Baughman, Agan, Ball, and Ian Madsen led the field back to green. 14 laps remain. 

Red flag for a second time involving Joe Beaver and Jonathan Cornell on lap six. Beaver says of Cornell, "that dumb son-of-a-bitch cost me two cars in two years."

Harli White returns to the track - she is still fearless. Brazier also returns.

On the opening lap, Sammy Swindell, Alex Hill, and Harli White, and Jordyn Brazier crash. All four flip. Looks like Jon Agan hooked the bottom and washed up into Sammy and drove away while chaos ensued.

Top 4 advance from the B-Main:
Seth Bergman takes the lead from Rager Phillips on the last lap to advance to the A. Calvin Landis and Jonathon Cornell also make the big show.
Tony Stewart finishes 7th and will not advance. Tyler Groenendyk was the first driver outside the cutoff.

Tim Shaffer will lead the field to green in the A-Main with Josh Baughman to his outside. Rager Phillips - who set an event record - was a casualty of the heat inversion and has to race through the B.

43 cars are running tonight; the rest of the field races tomorrow.
