Belt Clash Series portion of the program, a strong field of 25 NASCAR Midwest Modifieds were on hand as the support division. Although it was a non-points race for the Midwest Mods, a decent number of weekly competitors and
some occasional visitors were on hand gunning for the $400-to-win feature payout. Jason Haugerud had a strong run, eventually coming in 5th in the feature.
