At intermission, Christopher was chosen to be the POWRi West Jr fan of the night and came to roll the dice. Christopher would give the dice a roll landing on a 3, inverting the nights top 3 in passing points.
After the inversion was completed it would be Steven Shebster and Kory Schudy leading the field to green for the nights 25 lap A-Feature. The drop of the green would see Shebester jump out to the early lead with Schudy and Grady Chandler in tow. Side by side and three wide racing would occur as the track officials of I44 Riverside speedway provided a great racing surface. Shebester began to the distance himself from the field as laps dwindled away but the battle for second heating up.
