Sunday night found many familiar faces in victory lane at the I-35 Speedway in Mason City. With just two regular season weeks left, point battles are shaping up and could still be altered before everything is said and done.
Blake Cole once again dominated the junior hornet feature. Gary Stahl took home the extra money for the pro hornet feature as he got the win.
Scott Dobel took command of the hobby stock feature, but points co-leader Chan Gentz came to a stop on the backstretch to bring out the caution. He would scurry to the work area, but lost a lot of positions by doing so. Mick Meyers made a great move to advance two positions up to third on the restart while Stac Schroeder worked under Dobel to take away the lead. Meyers would later get by Dobel as well and close in on Schroeder. Stac Schroeder had just enough at the end to hold on for the win. Mick Meyers took over the point lead with a second place finish followed by Scott Dobel, Guy Kimpton, and Terry Litwiler.

A field of twenty-one bmods were next on the track, but things got off to a slow start in this one as four cars got tangled up in turn one on the start. When the green flag waved to resume action, it would be Mike Jaeger taking the top spot with Adam Ackerman making moves to nail down the second spot. Alex Zwanziger made his way to third while Nate Chodur passed Kyle Germundson on the low side to take over fourth. Ackerman would duck low on Jaeger to snare the lead away from Jaeger before a caution waved again. Dan Tenold would then be the one to watch as he first passed Zwanziger on the low side to grab the fourth spot at the halfway point before motoring by Chodur on the top side for third. Tenold went back to the bottom later to scoot by Jaeger for the runne rup spot, but he ran out of time to catch Adam Ackerman on his way to victory lane. Dan Tenold was second, Mike Jaeger third, Nate Chodur fourth, and Alex Zwanziger rounded out the top five.

Fourteen IMCA stock cars were ready to do battle for fifteen laps as Brad Broers took the early lead. Travis Shipman went to the high side and passed Andrew Inman for the runner up spot, but that didn't last long as Mike Jergens used the low side to get by both competitors. It didn't take long for Jergens to motor under Broers to take over the race lead. The attention then went to Kevin Opheim as he started his march towards the front by passing Inman on the outside for the fourth spot. A caution came out, and at that time Travis Shipman would exit to the pits after running second. Opheim climbed to second and tried to sneak under Jergens the last couple of laps, but Mike Jergens held his line and hit his marks on his way to picking up his 20th win of the season. Kevin Opheim finished second, Brad Broers third, Joe Willier fourth, and Bert McDaniel fifth.

The final event of the night saw Ryan Ruter jump out to the early lead in the IMCA modified feature. Points leader Jeremy Mills quickly worked his way to third after passing youngster Alex Hanson on the inside. Hanson would lose another spot to J.J. Wise while up front Levi Nielsen took the lead away from Ruter. Mills would sneak under Nielsen for the lead when Nielsen's car spun around in turn four and collected Hanson. Both drivers were okay after the hard contact. Jeremy Mills would take off like a rocket on the restart as he won by a half-lap. J.J. Wise was second, Rob Rose third, Shane Monson fourth, and T.J. Stalker finished fifth.
