Kevin Hoffman romped to his first BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour win in the series' first visit to Jim Michny's Dog Hollow Speedway. An hour and a half rain delay forced all of the racers to change their set-ups before the show even started, but Hoffman and company obviously made all of the right choices. The race was shortened to 25 laps due to the threat of an approaching rain cell that would have ended the evening's action.

 "We made a lot of last minute changes, and we didn't know if we got it right," Hoffman said. "But the car felt great and the track was awesome and it's just awesome to get the win," he exclaimed. Moments later, Hoffman got a big bear hug from runnerup Brian Weaver.

 Ageless veteran Carl Murdick and Chris Haines led the field to the green flag in the historic first visit of the Big Block Mods to Dog Hollow Speedway. Fittingly, Murdick led the first lap, but Haines roared by him on the outside to lead the second circuit. Meanwhile, Kevin Hoffman was already at work, slicing his way to the front from his fifth starting spot. 

A caution on lap three for a spin by Rex King, Jr. put Hoffman next to Haines for the restart. Haines slipped above the cushion in turns one and two, handing the lead to Hoffman. Worse, though, Haines lost several other positions in the process. 

While Hoffman began to stretch his lead, New Yorkers Joe Kubiniec and Randy Chrysler were fighting for position with Brian Weaver and Brad Rapp close behind them.

 Action was slowed once again on lap 6 for an inadvertent yellow. The caution was called when two cars got together in between the third and fourth turns and one of them cut through the infield. The field was quickly realigned, with Hoffman on the point and Chrysler on his flank. 

Hoffman jumped out front on the the restart and led the rest of the way without further interruptions. Chrysler held second until the halfway mark. That was when Weaver went sailing by on the inside of turn four. 

Weaver started to whittle away at Hoffman's lead. When Hoffman had some trouble getting past lapped cars that were fighting for position, Weaver narrowed the gap even more. However, Weaver jumped the cushion in turn one with two to go, and that gave his pal the breathing room that he needed. 

Hoffman whisked under the checkers in first. Three Empire State racers followed: Weaver, Chrysler and Kubiniec. Haines rallied for fifth. 

Rapp crossed in sixth. Dave Murdick, the points leader heading into the event, was seventh. Jeremiah Shingledecker, Steve Feder and Rex King, Jr. rounded out the top ten. 

Heat wins were scored by J.R. McGinley and Hoffman.

There was no B Main. 

Contingency Connection awards went to Hoffman and Shingledecker.
