Mike Carlson (son of Steve) started from the pole for the first time in his career. All of the drivers stayed patient until just after the halfway point when things started to heat up. Mike Carlson had a strong lead, but defending Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model Champion Kevin Nuttleman quickly caught up to Mike in turn one. A lap later Mike lost control of his car in turn four with three other cars spinning as a result. No damage was done to any of the cars.
A few laps later the race was again under yellow for an incident on the front stretch involving Todd Oliver, Skylar Holzhausen, Paul Proksch and Todd Korish. Nuttleman was able to maintain the lead until his teammate Steve Carlson passed him with less than five laps to go. Carlson was able to hold on to the lead for an exciting finish. Nuttleman was able to stay close and finish second. Andy Burgess of Fall Creek, Wis. finished in third.

Randy Steinhoff of Cashton, Wis., was the winner of the North Country Contractors Sportsman Division A-Main. He started in the third position and quickly took the lead. Jamie Millis finished second giving the race a one-two truck finish. Larry Bolster took third.

Andy Barney won the caution filled United Auto Supply Thunderstox Division. A spin by Troy Schnitzler brought out a caution with only five laps to go and three laps later Steve Owen, who was in second, hit the wall causing a caution with only 1 lap left in the race. Josh Inglett finished in the second place position and Jason Bolster of La Crosse finished in third.

Next week the racing will continue as Coca-Cola presents the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Models, North Country Contractors Grand National Sportsmen and United Auto Supply Thunderstox. The Features Sports Bar and Grill Hornets will also be making their first appearance of the season. Gates open at 5:00 and qualifying begins at 5:45.
