Howard Lilly #4 cleaned up in the bomber 4's. He took the trophy, heat and main wins. Don Eutsler #68 and points leader Joe Pierce #77 finish second and third in the main.

The field was tight racing, with sideways cars and three wide racing as the Stuarts NAPA Bomber took the green. Heat race winner Justin Drake #66 was quick working his way through traffic, as he made his way up to leader Mike Drake #1. Justin got under Mike on the low side to take over the lead and held it till the end as he picked up the main event win. Points leader Ryan Troutwine worked his way to second and Mike Drake held on for third.

Dennis Dumont #45 was looking strong as he lead the early laps in the MGD/Lite Hobby Main. Points leader Willy Ovitt #0 was trying Dumont on the outside, but this allowed heat race winner Casey Brandt #31 to slip by Ovitt on the inside. Brandt then mounted a charge on race leader Dennis Dumont. Brandt just got to Dumont's door as Dumont had already committed to turn into the corner. The two made contact and Brandt blew a right front tire. With Brandt out of the picture it looked to be all Dennis Dumont. Ovitt got it lose and went for a spin on the front stretch, Doug Moeller #74 joined in as the two spun together. Dennis Dumont took home the trophy for the main event win.

House of Colors was the evenings trophy sponsor. The owner of House of Colors Lee Frank and his Son Lee Frank Jr. got to get behind the wheel of Ryan Troutwine's Kruser to get a taste of racing, and they put on a great show and ran strong. Stuart Morton and Dale McCullen of Stuart's NAPA auto care who sponsor the bomber class also got to race Jerry Taber's Kruser. There was a grudge match between the House of Colors guys and the Stuarts NAPA guys. Stuarts just edged out a win the in the best out of three one lap shoot outs. Erica Reum an eighteen-year-old out of Polson was the trophy girl. A 1956 Thunder Bird owned by Bryce Smith and a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda owned by Rich and Tina Berditt were the trophy cars of the evening.

Next Saturday night it is the Stuart's NAPA Bomber 100 and the Pioneer Days Demo Derby along with Krusers. The Bombers consistantly bring the most cars to the track every time they show up and all ways put on a great show, so you won't want to miss the 100 laps of bomber action. Demo Derby cars will be showing up to be laying some hits and entertaining the crowd. And the Krusers who sometimes drive like they are in a demo derby will hit the circle track for more crazy racing.
