Morris led the short track final but could not hold off Rooks Derosear who took the lead at the halfway mark. Andrews Hughes and Zapfe were moving through the field and their charge led Hughes to the double pass and win on the last lap. Derosear held on to second while Zapfe moved to third past Morris, McFadden, AlIyx Camp, Baird and Krog.

Bailey Edsall ruled the 50cc chain class with wins in both races. Drew Ide led Springer Derosear, Quinten Lewis and Zach Myers in the top five KTM sweep on the short track. Lewis moved up to second in the TT over Zach Loehr's cobra, Derosear and Ide.

Hayden Gillim swept the 65cc ranks with dominating wins each time out. He hole-shot the short track and left Kevin Walter and Jake Lewis to battle for second. Ian Keith joined the mix and nabbed third on the final lap. Derosear led Andrew Johnson and Kole King for fifth.

Gillim was away again in the TT and rode to an easy win. Walter was second for the duration while Lewis came from the penalty stripe to third past Keith, Johnson and Zach Loehr.

Jeff Carver continued to rip up the 80cc and 200cc Amateur classes. He was superb as he swept to wins in all four divisions. Michael Johnson tried his best to run him in as he rode to second in both 80cc races.

Jonathan Heiden led a three-pack in the TT for third while Hayden and Nick Page filled in the top five.

Jed Dunham came home third in the oval, holding off Walter and Page.

Frankie Lee GiIlim held off Hayden after a race-long bout for second in the 200 short track with C. J. Cooper and Joel Johnson close behind. Cooper and Johnson would charge to second and third on the TT over Danny Didiuk, Frankie Lee and Guy Divittorio. Carver's bid for the 200cc Pro-Am short win was a good one but came up a little short to race winner Brock Schwarzenbacher. Kyle Snyder was a strong third over Heiden and Frankie Lee.

Schwarzenbacher backed up the win with a TT title also over Snyder, Carver, Michael Johnson and Page.
