The Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship Late Model Series Harold Hardgrove Memorial main event would take the green flag, with Jason Welshan and Billy Moyer, Sr. going side-by-side for the lead entering turn one. Third-place starting Jason Jameson would look to the inside of that pair exiting turn two and the trio would race three-wide down the backchute, with Jameson grabbing the lead entering turn three, with Welshan taking second, while Scott James would slip by Moyer, Sr. to snag third. Jameson would set a rapid pace at the point and would catch and start lapping slower traffic by lap eight. James would take the second position from Welshan by lap ten and would slowly reel in Jameson for the lead, however, Jameson would work slower traffic to perfection and would keep lapped cars between himself and James. Moyer, Sr. would close in on Welshan for the third position and would claim the spot on lap seventeen. Jameson continued to lap slower traffic and was in the process of building a comfortable lead when Steve Elliott would slow entering turn one to draw the first caution of the event on lap twenty-seven. The restart would see Jameson maintain the lead, with Moyer, Sr. launching off the top side of turn two to grab the second position, however, before the field could complete that lap, a massive nine-car pile-up would occur on the frontchute that would be the cause of the red flag being displayed as the track would be blocked. Once the track was cleared and action resumed, Jameson would again set a quick pace out front, with James, Moyer, Sr., Welshan, and David Webb giving chase. James would see his night end up abruptly when he would pull off the track while running second just a few laps after the restart, giving second to Moyer, Sr. at this point. Jameson would start working slower traffic again on lap thirty-four and would go unchallenged the remainder of the contest to claim the victory. Moyer, Sr. would finish in the second position in his first appearance at Lake Cumberland Speedway since 1992, while Welshan would complete the podium finishers with his third-place finish. Webb would wind up fourth, while Stephen Breeding completed the top-five finishers. Eleventh-place starter Jeff Watson would lead the sixth through tenth place finishers across the stripe, followed by John Ownbey, sixteenth-place starting Derek Fisher, twentieth-place starter Steve Godsey, and seventeenth-place starter Steve Stollings. In Brucebult Performance Iron-Man Series Modified action, Ricky Arms would take the lead at the start of the event, with he and teammate Peyton Harlow battling the entire distance and working slower traffic beautifully at times, however Arms would pull away in the final eight laps of the event to pick up the victory. Eleventh-place starting Victor Lee would charge through the field and would slip past Harlow in the waning laps of the event to score runner-up honors, while Harlow would settle for third.
