The dash races were next with Tim Schmidt taking the factory stock win over Casey Schimmel, Todd Ferguson and Terry Bisson.

The pure stocks would see hotshoe Ryan Radziejewski on top with Stan Chaskey, Kris Riley and Dave Morrell rounding out the field.Morrel would retire pitside and repair a broken front balljoint and miss the heat action. All of the cars were very evenly matched, and put on a great show for fans. The bomber dash would see Rich Sangster back on top once again. Sangster has really been cleaning house here at Onaway. Paul Klein would be hot on his tale, but would not have enough to get the job done. Frank Pelkey and Ken Werner would round out the race.

The factory stock heat race would have fans scared and on their feet. Todd Ferguson was fighting for position with Tim Schmidt when Schmidt's car turned up into Ferguson. Tims car would get airborn catching the wall causing his car to flip into the water barriers on the pit apron. Schmidt climbed from the car under his own power, but was a bit sore in the ribs. He would retire for the night. Casey Schimmel would take the win followed by Ferguson and Bisson. The race was declared over after the accident, so that track officials could clean the fuel and water from the track.
