The Tazewell Late Models drew eighteen hotshoes from all around east Tennessee with multi-time champion Jason Trammell setting fast time with a lap of 12.621 seconds. Trammell would draw a two on the invert and start on the outside of the front row alongside Steve Smith. Trammell charged into the early lead pulling away from Smith and Josh Collins, who took second away from Smith on lap three. By lap twelve Collins tracked down Trammell and on the next lap a blown right rear tire would end Trammell's bid for the win. As Collins stormed away on the restart Smith and Josh Henry wowed the crowd as they battled for the second spot. Henry would use the moisture in the low groove in turns one and two to pull up alongside Smith yet Smith would hold off the Henry in turns three and four. This action repeated for several laps with both drivers racing closely yet giving respect. Cory Hedgecock, who was driving the car normally driven by Dakotah Knuckles would bring out the caution on lap seventeen as he spun in turn four. On lap eighteen Mitchell Childress would spin high in turn four just as race leader Collins was coming through the turn. Collins slammed on the brakes and slid sideways into Childress with minimal damage. Collins would retain the lead and continue for his fourth win of the season in the Doug Gregory Motorsports, B&B Race Engines, TrakStar Race Car sponsored by O'Reilly Auto Parts, Outlaw Graphics and Weeks Fabrication. During the post race interview a smiling Coillins revealed that he injured his left hand in the collision with Childress yet soldiered on for the victory.
