When the 30-lap IMCA Modified feature came to life, it was Hogge and Danny Wagner running side by side with Hogge finally getting the advantage. After winning the Ltd. Late Model feature utilizing the cushion, Hogge would work the low groove in one and two, and the top in three and four.

As the Salinas, CA driver continued to lead the way, Shane DeVolder was pounding the top at both ends of the speedway and momentum was building in his favor as he tracked down Hogge.

On the 20th lap, DeVolder would pull alongside Hogge and get the lead out of turn four as they completed the 21st lap. Staying patient, Hogge continued to run his same line as was there to pounce when DeVolder tripped on the cushion on the 22nd lap and reassumed the race lead.

Back in front, Hogge would turn in flawless laps as he went on to pick up the win.

Behind him, Nick DeCarlo would overtake DeVolder to finish second, DeVolder would finish third, while Robby Sawyer and Paul Stone rounded out the Top-5.
