The third feature of the night was the most interesting feature. Ricky Thornton Jr the fastest qualifier in this group but outside pole sitter Devin Moran took the lead. He would lead the first 17 laps before RTJ slid him for the lead. Moran would return the favor a lap later and as Thornton Jr attempted to do a cross over move his RF made contact with Morans LR. The contact cut the tire on the 99 Double Down Motorsports Longhorn. On the restart Sheppard took advantage of the damaged nose on Thornton's car to take the lead and the win.

In the rained out Monday program Bobby Pierce would take the lead from Mike Marlar to claim the win. Tim McCreadie , Cade Dillard , Devin Moran, and Hudson O’Neal would round out the top 5.

Thornton led the first 12 laps from his pole position spot. As RTJ caught the rear of the field he made contact with Tyler Bruening. He lost his momentum that allowed Marlar to throw a slider on him to take the lead. The move put Thornton over the cushion as officials brought out the yellow. Thornton restarted in 7th.

As the field went back to green the leader, Marlar, slowed to bring out another yellow yielding the lead to Bobby. Now moving T-Mac into the runner up spot but could not catch the leader.
