Results and story by Brent Hottle below, as provided by the track (Legends portion extracted for posting on LN).
The first division to pull out onto the speedway would be the Central PA Legend Series cars. Shaun Abney and Logan Carbaugh would make up the front row. Carbaugh would lead the field into turn one at the drop of the green flag. Fourth row starting Tanner Jones would quickly challenge and take the lead out of turn four to lead lap one. By lap three Jones had pulled out to a nice lead over Carbaugh and Abney. This would be erased on lap five as Rick Hartwig would spin in turn three. Jones would continue to lead after the restart as the field would once again slow on lap eight. Chase Singleterry would spin in turn three causing Vincent Wenrich to spin to miss him. During the same incident, we would see Lincoln Kearcher spin in turn four collecting Ben Goldsmith in the process. During the next restart attempt, we would see five cars spin in turn two. Jones would once again lead at the restart, only this time he would be followed by Abney and Colton Friese. Wayne Dutterer Jr would spin in turn one bringing out the caution once again. Jones would lead the field to the green as Friese took over the second position from Abney. Jones would begin to pull away from Friese and build up to around an half of a straightaway lead at one point. However, the caution flag would once again fly on lap sixteen erasing that lead. Friese would charge hard into the first turn on the restart causing him to spin while running second. Seth Kearchner and Wes Alleman would also spin in turn one as they avoided the spinning Friese. Jones would continue to lead and take the win after a two lap shootout would arise, due to a lap eighteen caution. Shaun Abney and Logan Cabaugh would round out the top three.
