The 20 lap main event went to the new 2017 series champion Kyle Smith, who took the lead from Kenny Perkins on lap 15. He lead the rest of the race to claim the win and the 2017 Sprint Car title. Following Smith across the line were Guy Woodward, Steve Brown, Brandon Wiley and Brent Owens. Kyle Smith’s championship is his third in the VRA Sprint Car Series.

The Greg and Maureen Kauffman Hobby Stock Memorial event drew a large field of 23 Hobby Stocks.

Their four heat races went to Tom Stephens Sr. in heat one, Gary Curtis in heat two, Sam Garvin in heat three and Robby Witwer in heat four.
