Hubbard, a pavement specialist who has raced for several years in the Super Stock Division at Evergreen Speedway, as well as competing for several seasons on the NASCAR Reybestos Brakes NW Series, was thrilled with his first dirt victory. "I wish I would have done this sooner, this was absolutely the most fun I have ever had behind the wheel", an excited Hubbard stated in victory lane. Hubbard collected $1500.00 for the victory, with local Bomber champion Jeff Brookshire coming home in second place. Dan Walker and Brian Roth raced to third and forth place finishes respectively, with Enduro "Hotshoe" Mike Mikelson rounding out the top five.
