Delevan, NY: Repeat winners visited victory lane during the fifth week of competition on a warm Friday night at Arcade International Raceway on Emerling Resale Center Night. John Lacki of Sinclairville, NY scored his second Emerling Resale Center FASTRAK Late Model victory of the season, Belfast, NY's Al Brewer registered his third consecutive E-Mod victory, Daniel Giboo of Franklinville, NY drove to his second Street Stock win of the season, Olean, NY's Steve Mowery swept both Four Cylinder features run during the evening with Portville, NY's Don Williams taking his second straight Pure Stock win.

Steve Mowery jumped into the lead in the postponed Four Cylinder event from May 1 from his outside pole starting spot. Greg Haynoski and Bruno Mowery followed in the battle for second. Brad Ullman moved up quickly from his eighth starting spot to take over second place on lap three. The leader was setting a quick pace as he was into lapped traffic by halfway and had about half a track advantage over the second place ride of Ullman. The caution came out with five laps remaining when the Haynoski #30 came to a stop on the backstretch. The restart saw Steve Mowery safely holding back Ullman as Levi Watson moved into third spot where he would finish.

The Street Stock feature didn't get one lap in the books as the #26 car that started on the pole spun coming out of turn four. Brett Smith's #26 also collected Adam Sixt's #6T, Brian Peterson, Jr.'s #40 and Barry Tingue, II's #22 in the melee. The restart had two-time feature winner Andy Michael on the point over Conlee Giboo and Dan Giboo. The caution flew on lap three. Conlee Giboo spun in turn one and was avoided by the entire field, and it didn't bring out a caution. That moved Joe Layfield into third place. The leader had a problem as the hood on the #17x came loose and hit his windshield which caused him to spin out in turn four just as lap five was about to be completed. The restart order was now Dan Giboo with Joe Layfield, Tim Bruce, Brett Smith who had moved from the back of the pack after his first lap spin, and Adam Sixt making up the top five positions. Scott Fuller needed a push to the pits. Giboo moved into the lead as Smith made his way into second spot. Another caution flew, and Giboo then opened a few car lengths lead over Smith on the lap nine restart. Adam Sixt moved around Tim Bruce for fourth spot on lap fourteen. Dan Giboo had the race well in hand in recording his second victory of the season in his black Camaro over the Brett Smith ride who had rallied back from his first lap spin with past feature winner Adam Sixt taking third place.

Al Brewer started on the pole in the E-Mod main event with Rich Michael, Jr. shadowing him until the #17x spun in turn three to bring out the yellow flag. Another caution came out on lap five as Justin Tatlow spun coming out of turn four. The restart had Brewer leading Nathan Hill and Michael. The Michael machine was able to make it past Brewer for the lead on lap seven. The Michael #17x broke on lap ten with the Brewer and Nathan Hill rides making it by him again before the caution waved again. Michael returned to the fray for the restart. Brewer had some breathing room with five laps remaining over Nathan Hill, and it was good enough to make it three in a row for the "Belfast Blast". Nathan was only able to close it back down to a few car lengths to finish second behind Al. Craig Bedell finished third for his best finish of the season.

The Emerling Resale Center FASTRAK Late Model feature started with John Haggerty blasting off to lead from the pole. Caution was displayed for debris as Les Lyon dove pitside. The restart on lap four had Jason Bridge spinning in turn one for another caution. Bob Kish made it underneath Tim Schram for second spot on lap five. The red flag came out as Kyle Drum got his ride upside down on the backstretch, but he was fine. Bob Dorman spun with seven laps in the books. Bob Kish took the lead from Haggerty as John Lacki moved into second and dropped Haggerty back to third spot. Lap fifteen had the final leader change as Lacki was able to squeeze under the Kish ride exiting turn four. Another caution was out for the Nick Mohawk car on lap sixteen as he spun coming out of turn four. Lacki had enough muscle to hold back the advances of Kish and Haggerty to get his second trip to victory lane this season.

The regular Four Cylinder feature had Steve Mowery taking the lead from his outside front row starting spot with Brad Ullman in tow from his pole starting spot. The battle for second heated up with Levi Watson challenging Ullman for that spot. Mowery's #48 had checked out on the field with a comfortable margin. The caution on lap twelve brought the field back together, but Mowery had enough to sweep the feature events for the night. Past winners Ullman and Watson followed again in second and third as they had done in the earlier feature of the evening.

Don Williams was on the pole for the Pure Stock feature and made good use of that starting position to take the lead on the first lap over Fred Ely. Ely was in the fight for the lead until he dropped out on lap eight with mechanical ills. Points leader George Conkey spun his #11x out of turn four on lap eleven to bring out the caution. Williams was able to bring his #28 in for his second straight trip to victory lane over Curt Pastorius and past winner John Ellwood.
