Wilson gained the outside front row starting spot by finishing second to Mayes in the dash event, which set the first six starting spots. Mayes provided the first threat, but soon had to deal with challenges on his position. Wilson moved out and encountered lapped traffic in the 22-car field by lap 5. Kenny Adams shot past Mayes for second, but a caution wiped out that pass as Bob Auld spun in turn four. On the restart, Adams found himself gunned down by Friday night winner Sport Allen who charged by Mayes as well to gain second. The best action settled outside the top five as 2004 Fall Brawl champion Greg Leonard, and teenagers Matt Tiffany and Tyler Godwin swapped spots back and forth.

The red flag flew on lap 17 as Arkansas racer Marshall Skinner tumbled in the first turn while running in the top five. He was unhurt, but his night ended in the incident which also affected Stephen Darvalics and Leonard. The red allowed crew members to refuel the cars for the remainder of the event. On the restart, Brian Maddox spun, collecting Terry Gray. With the restart, Tyler Godwin battled Jason Sides for position. Ahead of them, Adams finally worked past Mayes and Godwin followed suit on the same lap. Mayes rallied back and took the position from Godwin until Bubba Clem was spun into the infield on lap 27.

Sides slipped past Godwin at the drop of the restart green and the field kept pace. After the white flag flew, Adams spun on the backstretch, which dropped him from third to 11th. Wilson prevailed with Allen in tow as both mastered lapped traffic to the end. Mayes regained third with the Adams spin. Sides took fourth and Godwin rounded out the top five.

O’Reilly USCS heat wins were taken by Paulie Milum, Daryl Smith, and Greg Leonard. Danny Martin Jr. topped the B main racers.

With the running of the event, Adams clinched the 2005 O’Reilly USCS season championship.
Jim Coursen and Josh Peacock put on a spirited battle in the Outlaw 4 main, won by Coursen. The eventual winner took the lead on lap three but could only keep it for a pair of laps. Peacock rallied back for the top spot on lap 5, but his reign was shorter, lasting less than a lap. The field ran 12 laps before the first caution for a simple spin, which bunched the pack together. Coursen powered out on the restart and led the field to the checkered flag on lap 20. Peacock retained second. Steve Miller ran a steady third, ahead of Jeff Conyers and point leader Chad Rose.

Devin Dixon moved to the top of the race track in the late stages of the Gagel’s Open Wheel Modified main event and it proved to be the winning move. After the first start was called back, the field went to town in the 20-lap main. Billy Boyd Jr. was leading until he was caught up in a spin with Wayne Hammond. The incident gave the lead to Scotty Williams with Rusty Dixon advancing to second. Williams managed to keep Dixon and the rest of the field at bay, but there were some hard chargers beginning to make a move. Buzzie Reutimann made a masterful pass to move from fifth to third while Jeff Mathews got into the thick of things by getting past Reutimann and Rusty Dixon shortly after. The move put Mathews in second. Reutimann got around Mathews, then made contact with Williams and the pair spun, leaving Mathews in command. On a lap 13 restart, Mathews was in control until the third turn when the car slowed with mechanical woes. Mathews’ demise brought a new leader as Perry Brown moved into control. Brown held the lead until Devin Dixon charged to the outside four laps later. Devin Dixon had tried every angle on the low side and decided to make his move in turns one and two. He gained the spot by the backstretch and motored away from the field. He took the checkered with a comfortable margin, but second running Brown had his hands full with a charging David Schmauss, who claimed third. Fourth went to Roger Crouse with Jamie Burrows crossing in fifth.

Buck Skinner rolled to his seventh win of the 4 Cylinder Bomber class, tying him with D.B. Hogwaler for most wins in the class. Hogwaler had a rough night as he was collected after a turn four spin, bringing heavy damage to his machine. The night was not a complete loss for Hogwaler Racing as W.B. Hogwaler finished second. Dan Bliss notched another top five with a third place run.
