Mattern certainly looked like the car to beat in the Late Models on Saturday night. Mattern used a long green flag run to pull a big lead over the field. As the run continued on, Bryan Bernheisel began to show some muscle as well as he closed in on the race leader.

Once again as lap traffic covered much of the speedway in front of the leaders, Bernheisel continued the pressure. Bernheisel stayed loyal to the inside line while Mattern used the high side of the race track. Mattern had the advantage as many of the lap cars ran the inside of the race track.

Bernheisel threw a slide job on Mattern on lap 19 to take the top spot away, just before a yellow flag came out.

Bernheisel used a great restart to break away from the field on his way to his second win of the season. Mattern and Gene Knaub were the top three finishers. Donnie Schick was fourth followed by Tony Adams. Adams was caught up in a first lap wreck, but recovered to finish fifth and salvage a good point night in the championship race.

Jim Yoder was sixth just ahead of point leader Steve Campbell. Dave Stamm, Meade Hahn, and Ken Yoder were the top ten finishers.

Tony Adams and Andrew Yoder took checkered flags in heat races for the Late Models.
