Heat three was dominated by point leader Jake Blackhurst winning by nearly a straight away. Ryan Bowers finished in second ahead of Brooke Tatnell, Skylar Prochaska and Russel Borland rounded out the top five.
The foutth and final heat race was exciting as Lynton Jeffry lead the first half until a caution bunched the field up and gave Le Duc, Alberta, Canada’s Skylar Gee the shot he needed as he drove his 99 car from the sixth position to to the lead in the last half of the heat. Jeffry settled for second position over Jeremy Schultz, Mike Reinke and Travis Whitney.

The B main saw the Australian Scott Bogucki pick up the victory over Ben Schmidt in the Oz Motorsports 73. The McCarl brothers Carson and Austin took 3rd and 4th respectively to lock into the A main while Tasker Phillips missed the transfer by just 1 position finishing in fifth.

Madsen would move the Go Muddy 2m into the lead as McCarl followed suit and worked past Juhl. Madsen would pick up the win for his third IRA series win in four nights. Terry McCarl would settle for second over Lynton Jeffrey and Justin Henderson. Skyler Gee would round out the top five in his Pat Beck Motorsports 99.
