The Late Model 40 lapper started off with #39 Jack Nugent on the pole. #27 Roger Avants had the outside of row 1. #22 Chris Eggleston had the inside of row two with #42 Ronnie Hults on the outside. The action up front was about as intense as it gets as Eggleston and Hults rode on the heels of Roger Avants. Eggleston and Hults battled for 2nd through more than 20 laps with Eggleston eventually making his way into 2nd place. Chris made multiple attempts on Roger's inside, nearly taking the lead again and again. We were led to believe Avants was simply toying with the young up-and-comer as he squashed his every attempt to take over the top spot. At the finish it was Roger Avants followed by Eggleston, Hults and #12 Bruce Yackey.

Following up the disaterous Late Model pile up which totalled half the field on July 10th, the Late Models brought out an impressive 14 cars. They raced in style this week with action so intense you could throw a blanket over the top 5. Savage, Yackey and Hults all spent some time in the lead but it was NASCAR up-and-comer Chris Eggleston who stuck it for the win!
Despite multiple yellow flags and field thinning wrecks, Bear Lynch maintains his lead over Jeff Walbaum and points leader Blackie Blackard for the win.

#41 Bear Lynch maintained a slight lead over Blackie Blackard as the two drag raced through 3 laps to start the 30 lap Sportsman Main Event. Lynch took the lead and our current point leader Blackie Blackard dropped back another spot as #8 Jeff Walbaum blazed into 2nd place. Bear stuck the lead for the duration of the race for the win. Walbaum took 2nd followed by, Blackard, #84 Bruce Borchardt and #62 Jim Bob Rogers.
Only 10 cars avoid the most disastrous pile up in CNS history to finish the Late Model Midseason Championship. Ronnie Hults rides the outside line once again to victory.

#74 Dan Savage and #31 Rick Smith blew the doors off the rest of the field, competing in a race all their own as they moved to the front of pack and dueled for the lead. At lap 24 of the 100 lapper, the leaders approached lapped traffic and Savage controlled a comfortable lead.
