Fourth inductee was the legendary Bill Davis Sr who picked up the 1994 IMCA Modified track champion, Davis family has a legacy and that family legacy continues will Bill Davis Jr and grandson Kendall Davis. The final inductee has had many exciting finishes all over the state of iowa and was able to become the 1994 IMCA Stock car track championship and that is of Bobby Greiner Jr. Greiner even go to see his old stock car pick up a feature win.

First feature of the night was the KBOE Radio IMCA SportMods 16 lap feature but before a single lap was completed the caution came out when Brayton Carter, Curtis VanDerWal and Damon Murty got together on the front stretch. When the race got going it was Tony Johnson leading the first lap but Clint Luellen grabbed it away on lap two. Luellen saw the caution come out again on lap four when Charlie Weber spun in turn two. Luellen now had to contend with Jason McDaniel and it was McDaniel taking the lead away on lap six. Luellen refused to give up and stay close until the final caution on lap 12. Luellen was able to get a great restart and take the lead way from McDaniel on lap 13. Luellen held off challenges from McDaniel and Brett Lowry the final three laps to take the win. McDaniel came home second and Lowry was third. Brayton Carter was fourth and Curtis VanDerWal was fifth.

Nick Ulin led the opening lap in the Pepsi Cola Mahaska Bottling Company IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature but Mike Hughes took the lead away after starting fifth on lap two.
