Heat Race #1:
Ken Schrader started on the pole. Earlier in the day, he had become the oldest to grab a pole position in a qualifying session in NASCAR history. This allowed him to start up front for the first heat race of the night. The race went green and immediately the drivers spread out and battled for position. The race eventually settled into a groove with Schrader in the lead and J.R. Heffner in his tracks. Heffner would fight hard for that spot. He made contact with Dave Blaney in the middle part of the race, but the two continued on in the same position. Heffner made it close in the last few laps with Schrader, but Schrader took the win after leading all eight of the laps. This put him through to the feature and relegated Heffner and Jimmy Weller to the last chance qualifier. Dave Blaney, Joey Coulter, Tracy Hines, and Scott Bloomquist also moved to the feature. With his win, Ken Schrader will take the pole for the feature and look to grab the win.
Results:
1st: Ken Schrader*
2nd: J.R. Heffner
3rd: Dave Blaney*
4th: Joey Coulter*
5th: Tracy Hines*
6th: Jimmy Weller
7th: Scott Bloomquist*

Heat Race #2:
Jared Landers started on the pole. The race went green and he immediately jumped out to the lead. Darrell Wallace Jr. moved into second while the rest of the drivers stayed behind and battled for positions. Wallace made fierce moves on Landers and these moves would cost him. Coming into turn 1 on lap 4, Wallace got loose underneath Landers and went for a spin. He was able to save the truck and continue on. This resulted in the first and only caution of the race. The trucks were lined back up and the race went green again. Matt Crafton immediately made his move to the front. He made it past Landers to lead a lap, but Landers quickly took the lead back. Landers eventually took the win after leading seven of the eight laps. This put him through to the feature with Jeff Babcock and Norm Benning moving to the last chance qualifier. Matt Crafton, Miguel Paludo, Darrell Wallace Jr., and Dakoda Armstrong also moved to the feature. With his heat race win, Jared Landers will start to the outside of Ken Schrader and will look to take a win in his first NCWTS start.

1st: Jared Landers*
2nd: Matt Crafton*
3rd: Miguel Paludo*

Cautions:

Heat Race #3:
Timothy Peters started on the pole. He was the highest qualifying NCWTS regular, which could lead him to a huge points day if he is successful. The race went green and he immediately took the lead with Brendan Gaughan grabbing the second spot. The main battle in this heat race was with Jason Bowles and Kyle Larson. Both drivers had to race their way in and it showed. Larson made a slide job on Bowles early in the race, but it did not stick. On lap 4, Larson made another move and this one was successful. He took the third spot and held onto it for the transfer spot. Peters led all the laps and cruised to the victory. Larson moved on to the feature with Bowles and Clay Greenfield moving to the last chance qualifier. Timothy Peters, Brendan Gaughan, Ron Hornaday Jr., and Ryan Blaney also moved on to the feature. With his win, Timothy Peters will look to be the highest finishing NCWTS regular in the feature later tonight.

1st: Timothy Peters*
2nd: Brendan Gaughan*
3rd: Kyle Larson*

Heat Race #4:
Kenny Wallace started on the pole. The race went green and Wallace immediately jumped out to the lead with James Buescher behind him. Max Gresham was able to hold off Brennan Newberry for the transfer spot and stay ahead of Austin Dillon. The top 4 made it very close at the end. Dillon attempted to grab third from Gresham, but he was unable to. On the last lap, Buescher made a move on Wallace, but he was unable to take the lead. Wallace would take the win after leading all the laps. Gresham moved onto the feature while Newberry and Joe Cobb move to the last chance qualifier. Kenny Wallace, James Buescher, Austin Dillon, and John Wes Townley also moved on to the feature. With his win, Kenny Wallace will look to win the race after getting a ride at the very last minute and make a lot of people happy.

3rd: Max Gresham*

Heat Race #5:
Jeb Burton started on the pole. It was his first attempt on dirt and he looked really good. The race went green and Burton took the lead with Ryan Newman getting second. Newman was in the transfer spot and he would look to hold it. Newman finally got up to make a move on Burton and he did that in turns 1 and 2 on lap 5. After the slide job move, Newman went up the track and made contact with the wall allowing Burton to get away a little bit. On the last lap, Ty Dillon and Johnny Sauter had a heated battle. Dillon made a move on Sauter in turn 2 and slammed into his door. Sauter ended up making contact with the wall and Dillon was finally able to get past Sauter and take third spot. Sauter was pretty angry with Dillon afterwards due to losing spots for the feature and the damage to his truck. At the end of the race, Jeb Burton was the winner after leading all the laps. Newman moved on in the transfer spot with Justin Jennings and Bryan Silas moving to the last chance qualifier. Jeb Burton, Ty Dillon, Johnny Sauter, and German Quiroga moved on as well. With his win, Jeb Burton will look to gain points on Matt Crafton and possibly grab the points lead.
Results:
1st: Jeb Burton*
2nd: Ryan Newman*
3rd: Ty Dillon*
4th: Johnny Sauter*
5th: German Quiroga*
6th: Justin Jennings
7th: Bryan Silas

Last Chance Qualifier:
J.R. Heffner started on the pole. After finishing second in his heat race, he looked like the driver who would win the last chance qualifier. The race went green and his chances went away. He did not get started in the race and he fell back. Coming out of turn 1 on lap 1, he slowed and exited from the race after problems. This meant that he would not make the race. Because he slowed up the field, Brennan Newberry was able to make it past the field and grab the lead. The race went a short time before the first caution of the race on lap 11. Jimmy Weller went for a spin in turn 2 while trying to make a move on Clay Greenfield. Weller saved it and avoided damage. Now, the drivers who were on the edge of the transfer spot would have to hold off on the restart. On the restart, Norm Benning, who was running fifth, was able to hold off the guys behind him to hold the last transfer spot. Clay Greenfield moved behind him and looked to take the transfer spot. On the last lap, Greenfield made his moves on Benning. The two made contact in each corner and slammed hard into the wall. In turn 4, both piled hard into the wall and after it was said and done, Benning walked away with the fifth and final transfer spot. Brennan Newberry grabbed the win after leading all fifteen of the laps along with a transfer spot for the race. Along with Newberry and Benning, Jeff Babcock, Jason Bowles, and Justin Jennings made the race through the last chance qualifier. Clay Greenfield, Jimmy Weller, Bryan Silas, Joe Cobb, and J.R. Heffner will head home after failing to race their way in. After five heat races and a last chance qualifier, 30 drivers are set to race for history. It will be amazing to see who will come out on top and all the action that is to come in the greatest race of the year.
Results:
1st: Brennan Newberry*
2nd: Jeff Babcock*
3rd: Jason Bowles*
4th: Justin Jennings*
5th: Norm Benning*
