     Andrew Locuson grabbed the $1,000 top prize by winning the 30-lap 270cc Micro Sprint feature.  Locuson started 17th and avoided several mishaps and assumed the lead when Luke Thomas suddenly slowed on lap 16.  Locuson led the remaining laps unchallenged to record the win.  T.J. Greve, Dan Lane, Jr., Roland Saxton and Ryan Wozunk completed the top five for the largest 270cc Micro Sprint field of the season.
 
     Gilroy won his first career feature at Bridgeport Speedway by taking the 20-lap Slingshot feature.  William Mohring led the opening lap and then slowed and headed to the pits handing the lead over to B.J. Antonio.  Gilroy completed the pass for the lead on Antonio on lap 9 and never looked back.  Antonio crossed the line second followed by Donny Hockman, Tess Horvath and Rich Partitie.
 
     King started from the back of the field and quickly moved past his competition to take the lead by the completion of lap 4.  Once in front King pulled away from his closest competitor.  Dave Bentley crossed the line second followed by Michael Bentley, Scott Dunn and Chris Sammons.
 
     Lee Allen took over the lead early and fought off a late challenge by Tom Wolf to score his fifth win of the season in the 40-lap event for the Jack Gasko & Son Farm & Greenhouses Eight Cylinder Enduro division.   Wolf finished second and Mike “The Animal” Baldwin was third.
