“The track was fast all race long and having a good starting position helped” stated race winner Shaffer. Brad Sweet and Tim Shaffer led the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Cars to the green flag for their 30-lap Big R Outlaw Shootout presented by Budweiser with Shaffer in the lead. Sweet, Gravel, Stewart and Kinser top five with Schatz in sixth. Sweet would catch Shaffer while the field was in lap traffic on lap three, but Shaffer would keep the lead. Lancaster, NY native Dane Lorenc got loose entering turn two and spun his racer to bring out the first caution on lap eight, just before the leaders were about to lap him. Shaffer would take off on the restart, as David Gravel and Shane Stewart reeled in Brad Sweet to battle for second place. Sheldon Haudenschild spun in turn two to bring out the caution on lap 10 after battling with Lucas Wolfe for the 11th position. Shane Stewart would catch Gravel on the lap 11 restart, but Gravel was able to hang on to the third position. Shaffer would continue to lead Sweet, Gravel, Stewart, and Kinser at the halfway mark, as Shaffer would lead Sweet by 1.577seconds at the cross-flags. The leader would hit heavy lap traffic with nine laps remaining, allowing Sweet to reel in Shaffer. While Shaffer was negotiating lap traffic, Sweet and Gravel would catch the leader with two laps remaining. Shaffer would lead all 30 laps to get the win. Gravel would shred a right rear tire coming to the checkered flag. Sweet finished in second followed to the line by Shane Stewart, Donny Schatz, and Gravel completing the top five. Out of the 32 World of Outlaw Craftsman Sprint Cars that took time in qualifying, 30 of them broke the previous track record set back in 1997 by Mark Kinser at a 14.360 Matt Farnham and Brett Senek brought the field of Investors Service Sportsman to the green flag for their 25-lap feature event with Farnham jumping into the lead with Senek running tight behind him.
