After the victory, Langston said, "It feels good to come up here and get a win. I started off on the bottom, but didn't feel like i was gaining ground on the leader. After the red flag, I moved up, and raced the high side." Third belonged to MCS racer No. 83 Wes McIntire.

In the USAC Ford Focus Midgets, Cincinnati's No. 33 Ronnie Wuerdeman took the checkered flag. "I went four years without a win," Wuerdeman explained.

" Taking second place was No. 22 Joe Liguori, while third went to No. 38 Jimmy Simpson.
There was a battle for the win in the UMP Modified A-Main. It came down to No. 25 Bub Patrick and No. 88 Scotty Orr. Patrick passed Orr for the feature win. "It always feels good to win.
