Jeff Chapman and Jacob Schulz were on the front row for the Mighty TQ Midgets Legends Night event, with Schulz in the lead ahead of his Uncle Mark, and Ronnie Flaim. With the top three pulling away from the field, the battle was on behind them for much of the race, with Jonathan Reid, Nick Groff, and Brendan Wallace flip-flopping positions throughout the event. After a couple restarts bunched the field back up, Jacob Schulz was in control of the race, leading all 20 laps to score his second consecutive win at Lancaster. Mark Schulz would finish second for the second straight race to his nephew, with former Series champion Ronnie Flaim in third, ahead of Nick Groff and Brendan Wallace.
Griffin Miller and Jeff Whalen brought the Super Stocks to the green flag, with Miller in the lead. Jacob Gustafson would take the lead away on lap two, with Jason Dieter taking over second place, ahead of Miller, Tim Welshans, and Andy Cryan. Brian Hallett would take over fifth place on lap eight after passing Welshans in turn one. Hallett would then pass Cryan before lap ten to take over fourth place, as the leader Gustafson would pull away from the field. Hallett would continue to march his way to the front as he would pass Miller for third place on lap 18. The caution would come out on lap 21 as Tim Faro spun coming off turn four. The restart would see Gustafson in the lead ahead of Hallett, with Dieter, Cryan, and Miller in the top five.
Andrew Rocque and Connor Kurdziel were on the front row for the 4 Cylinders feature, with Rocque in the lead ahead of Ben Adams and Chris Deyoe Jr. Adams would take the lead away on lap two with Deyoe moving into second place. Kyle Casper would enter the top five as he would pass Kurdziel on lap four and then would go after Rocque for third place. The caution would come out on lap eight as Casper overdrove turn one. The restart green would see Adams in the lead with Deyoe challenging for the top spot. The caution would come out on lap 15 as Adams and Deyoe got together in turn three. Deyoe was able to rejoin the field, but Adams had two front flat tires. Connor Kurdziel would inherit the lead and would drive away to pick up his second win of the season. Deyoe would drive back up through the field over the final five laps to finish in second, ahead of Eric Szychowski, Andrew Rocque, and Ashton Hannon.
