All-time divisional wins leader Mike Nichols added another checkered to his 2017 resume in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature.

The Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature was led flag to flag by Jacob Wolsleben while the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature came down to the wire to decide the winner.
After Allen Myers led the first seven laps of the 15-lap feature, Luke Wassom took command of the lead. A series of cautions came late in the race set up a one-lap dash around the track for the win, and victory went to Wassom.
Justin Smallcomb won the caution-free Mach-1 Sport Compact feature.
