The Legends.Direct Legends were the second feature on the cars and it was Hayden Schmuhl and Kim Clover who found themselves on the front row. The initial start was waved off and the field had to try again. On the second try it was the 59S of Schmuhl who launched well and kept the lead until the 6E of Eric Blumer roared past him to the lead at the end of lap one. Blumer got a gap from the field before a yellow flag came out for an incident involving Faith Zellmer and Cade Reisdorf. The field would get back in order behind Blumer as the race restarted. Blumer grew the gap as the field behind him battled it out, with the 88 of Austin Winkel, 2.0 of Ryan Sullivan, 117 of Adam Zellmer, K1 of Kim Clover, and 8W of Michael Weber all battled out for the second place spot. Austin Winkel pressured Blumer for a number of laps before Adam Zellmer found something on the high line and worked his way around the 88 and challenged the 6E for the lead. A six car battle for the lead between Eric Blumer, Austin Winkel, Adam Zellmer, Michael Weber, Jordan Miklas, and Ryan Sullivan commenced with five laps left to race. Austin Winkel ran the bottom past Blumer as Blumer fell down the order a few spots. Michael Weber would challenge Winkel for the lead as the white flag came out and out of turn two, contact between the two of them causing Weber to go careening into the infield. Winkel came through to win his second feature of the season as Eric Blumer came out second and Jordan Miklas third.
