At the green flag, Shawn Pfaff took the early lead and had Steve Holzhausen close on his tail. While the remainder of the pack was shuffling positions, Holzhausen was able to keep Pfaff within reach. Burgess meanwhile, was quickly closing in, and was able to pass Pfaff with 15 laps to go. He was able to gain a 10 car lead over the rest of the field at one point. Later in the race Steve Carlson was able to work his way to the front of the pack positioning himself in 3rd behind Mark Lamoreaux. As the finish got closer, Burgess appeared to have used up his tires, as Lamoreaux chopped away at the margin over the last five laps. Burgess was able to hold on and win over Lamoreaux and Carlson. “I could see him coming in my mirror,” commented Burgess, “I know Lamoreaux has been really, really fast all season, and It’s a good thing the race ended at 25 laps, otherwise I would have had to deal with the 26 (referring to Lamoreaux’s Yellow #26 Late Model).”

The Ray Hutson Chevrolet Grand National Sportsman feature was again, one of the best of the 2006 season. On the Start Jamie Millis narrowly took the lead, followed by Larry Bolster Jr. Close racing in the top ten looked like the field was lined up two by two during the parade laps. With 7 laps to go, Randy Steinhoff lost his rear bumper cover and was black flagged to the pits. Meanwhile, Bolster was finally able to break away from the pack to take the lead, and maintained it until the finish, giving him a second feature win in the last three weeks. Second position went to Sportsman Track Record-Holder John Olson, and Trent Boettcher of LaCrescent finished 3rd.

Dusty Pfenning took the lead at the beginning of the United Auto Supply Thunderstox Feature. Pfenning battled with Jake Krueger for the lead when he left the track with 8 laps to go giving the lead to Krueger, who was able to maintain it throughout the remainder of the race. Steve Owen later spun with 5 laps to go bring out the yellow caution. On the restart Krueger had the lead, and was followed closely by Winchel and Joey Johnson until the checkered flag. Krueger was later disqualified after technical inspection, and the win then went to Rusty Winchel.
