Rounding out the 16 car field was Steve Assenmacher. 25 teams that made the trip to compete for 16 spots in the NEOPMA quarter mile Pro Mod series. Year to date 50 individual teams have competed at a NEOPMA event.
"Capitol Raceway is such a great track to race," said John Mazzorana. "The improvements to the track and facilities were outstanding. Their hospitality was 2nd to none. Track conditions were tricky and the staff tried addressing it throughout the event."

Due to the
light drizzle and approaching curfew, the event was called and finalist TJ Dehaven and Dean Marinis split the win and purse.
