In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Michael Wray took the early lead with Ed Ricard slotting in second. Michael Bennett and Rich Hammann were contesting third when the cars touched and Bennett spun in turn 4 to bring the caution out with 2 laps complete.
Wray again took the lead with Josh Wood moving by Ricard to take over second place. Wayne Coury, Jr. followed Wood by Ricard and looked like he was going to take second from Wood, but the caution came out with 3 laps complete for debris on the frontstretch.
Coury took the lead on the restart with Tom Fearn following Coury past Wray to move into second. Tom Butler also got by Wray to move into third and drop Wray back to fourth after he led the first 4 laps of the race. Fearn took a look to the inside of Coury in turn 4 on lap-6 for the lead but he settled back into line in second. Fearn made the pass stick on lap-7 with a pass in turn 3 to move into the race lead. Kevin Gambacorta moved around Wood to take over fifth as Fearn continued to lead the race.
At the halfway point of the race, Fearn was still out front although Coury was right on his back bumper. Butler was third with Wray in fourth and Gambacorta still rounding out the top-5 in front of Wood in sixth.
As the race was nearing the checkered flag, Fearn’s car began to show smoke at the rear of the car but he was able to continue in the lead as Coury was still giving chase. The smoke from the rear of Fearn’s car didn’t hamper him as he led Coury to the checkered flag to pick up his 7th win of the 2015 season. Coury finished second, with Butler, Wray, and Gambacorta rounding out the top-5.
