Cedar Rapids-Steve Carlson "waited" until the 29th lap to take the lead in Friday Night's Keith Fleck Miller 100, then he just waited for it to be over. No one really threatened the 66 car and he put it in victory lane for the third year in a row. Overall, Carlson has won the Miller 100 six times.

Mark Krous finished 2nd. The highest local finishers were Joey Gase at 12 and Gavin McGrath at 13. NASCAR Truck driver Ron Hornaday was never a factor and finished 18th.
