Four dominating performances were given by the feature winners at Spirit Auto Center Speedway on Friday night – Mike Haggenbottom – TSRS 305 Sprint winner; Travis Hill – 600cc Micro Sprint winner; Steve Coslop – 270cc Micro Sprint winner and Art Knapp –  ServPro Four Cylinder winner.  All feature winners led their respective features from the wave the green until the checkered flag was thrown.

In the TSRS 305 Sprint feature on the 5/8th mile speedway, Haggenbottom started on the pole after an 11 invert pill was drawn following qualifying.  Haggenbottom quickly distanced himself from runner-up Tim Tanner,Jr. as Kyle Purks, Ryan Stillwaggon and Rick Stief challenged Tanner for second.  Purks passed Tanner for second on lap six.  Stief passed Stillwaggon for fourth prior to the race’s first caution on lap 17.  On the restart, Stief began to slow and brought the final caution out on lap 19 when he was unable to exit the speedway.  The scene was set for a one lap shootout.  On the restart, Purks made one final run in the outside groove to attempt to pass Haggenbottom.  As the pair exited turn two, Haggenbottom began to pull away and distanced himself from Purks for the win.  Tanner, Jr. held on for third with Stillwaggon fourth.  Jeff Geiges made a last lap pass of Chris Allen for fifth.

Hill won his fifth 600cc Micro Sprint of the season and third-in-a-row.  The feature event was slowed on the opening lap when Luke Thomas spun in turn one.  On the complete restart, Hill charged to the lead and began to pull away from the rest of the competition.  Hill was setting a torrid pace.  When the caution flew on lap 17, Hill had lapped the field up to the eighth place.  Matt Smith, Eric Bodine and Jon Keller chased Hill on the restart.  Smith finished second with Bodine, who was visiting from Colorado, taking third.  Jermain Godshall passed Keller for fourth on the final lap.
Coslop jumped into the lead at the drop of the green in the 270cc Micro Sprint feature with Rich Keller, Ryan Heim, Decker Morrow and Colin Bustard in tow.  The feature was slowed on lap 7.  On the restart, Heim passed Keller for second with Morrow and Robbie Watson trailing the leaders.  Tyler Reinhardt moved into the top five on lap eight.  One lap later, Reinhardt passed Morrow for fourth.  The feature was
slowed on lap 17 for several spins but when the race resumed,  Keller and Reinhardt passed Heim for second and third.  Coslop crossed the line to record his first win in nearly two years followed by Keller, Reinhardt, Heim and Bustard.

Knapp recorded his first win of the season in the 15-lap ServPro Four Cylinder Enduro feature.  Knapp set a record in covering the distance in 4:22.788 – a record which stood since 2005.  John Webster finished second to his teammate and extended his point lead.
