Mitchell Faccinto won the 30 lap WST Sprint Car Main Event to become the fourth different winner of Speedweek. The Hanford California based racer also won the five lap Trophy Dash. During the first half of the feature, Faccinto set a rapid pace, but traffic allowed fast timer Trey Starks to catch him before a yellow flag slowed the pace on lap 18. Faccinto charged out to a good lead from there and scored a well earned victory. Starks stayed in the Speedweek championship hunt with a solid second place finish as Californians Jonathan Allard, Steven Tiner and Kyle Hirst completed the Top 5. Allard and Bricen James were the eight lap heat race winners.


Randy Wright won his first career 25 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. Wright gave indication of things to come when he won his heat race ahead of Trophy Dash winner Kurt Lorenzini. Ryder Boswell won the other eight lap heat ahead of Medford point leader Jorddon Braaten. Wright and Boswell charged into the top two positions at the start of the feature and gradually pulled away from the pack. Jimmy Lipke gained third just before the only caution flag flew in the race on lap 17. As Wright pulled away on the restart Lipke moved up to battle R. Boswell for second. Lipke made the pass for second on lap 19, but there was no catching Wright. R. Boswell settled for third ahead of Doug Franklin, Colter Boswell and Lorenzini.
