High-speed conditions caused overheating issues for some cars and only seven cars completed the race. ... Jared Miley, who survived hitting the wall in hot laps, was running fourth when he broke an oil filter mount before halfway. ... Originally scheduled as an NDRL Northeast event, the track continued the race with its weekly DIRTcar sanctioning after that tour's demise. ... Josh Holtgraver won the Crate Late Model feature. ... The track will also run its own 26th annual Pittsburgher weekend with a pair of $5,000-to-win events Sept. 13-14; that was also originally supposed to be sanctioned by NDRL and NDRL Northeast.
