The Kiss Country IMCA Modifieds saw 21 drivers take the initial green flag with Austin Kuehl all the way from Cave Creek, Arizona lead several laps before BCS regular Troy Cordes took over the top spot. Cordes lead was short lived as one of Iowa's hottest Modified drivers took over the top spot. Tom Berry Jr advanced from a ninth position start and took the lead just past the midway point and went on to score the a hard fought win over Cordes and Kuehl.

Another 21 car starting field took the green flag in the Christie Door IMCA Sportmod class on Sunday night. Kyle Olson led early from his outside front row starting spot before giving way to "The Bullring" point leader Ben Chapman.

Joe Docekal, who also was recorded as the leader during the main event settled for second ahead of Tony Olson.

The Reinbeck Auto Hobby Stock main event win went to 18 year old Kaden Reynolds on Sunday night. Reynolds found the extreme high side of the multi grooved track to his liking in sailing to the win. Reynolds took the lead away from birthday boy, Joren Fisher and went on to hold off several challenges by Nathan Ballard in scoring the win.

John Oliver Jr. broke the stranglehold of the Albert Auto Service IMCA Stock Car field by the Murty family. Oliver held both Dallon and Damon Murty at bay on Sunday night in recording the win. Oliver took the lead when the green flag waved from his outside front row start and led flag to flag in recording the win ahead of Dallon and Damon Murty.
