Shawn Campbell made his first appearance of the 2007 season and proceeded to lead every lap of the "Talking Phonebook" Renegade race and claim the official victory.

Brian Beckner finished third. Jim Skinner finished fourth. Tyrone Anglin finished fifth.

Mark Timmerman claimed the official victory in the B-Mini Stock division. Chad Campbell led the first six laps of the race before he relinquished the lead position to Timmerman.

Once out front Timmerman was pressured by Campbell on almost every lap but Timmerman held him at bay to secure the victory. Chad Campbell finished second. David Darnell missed a gear at the start of the race and had to drop from the front of the field to the back of the field. Darnell battled his way to the front and was close to the leaders when the laps ran out on the race. David Darnell finished third. Scott Hamby held the second position a couple of laps but soon dropped back and finished fourth. Wayne Hammond finished fifth.

Wesley Thompson claimed the overall victory and the victory in the Pro portion of the 600 Legends race. Justin Ashley led the first seventeen laps of the race before he encountered heavy lapped traffic and as he attempted to navigate his way between two cars he made contact with one of the cars which sent the right side of his car airborne. As Ashley fought to regain control of his car Thompson closed the gap that Ashley had placed upon him and bypassed Ashley for the lead. Ashley closed on Thompson and made a last lap attempt to regain the lead as the two exited turn four on the final lap but came up short. Justin Ashley finished second and claimed the official victory in the Semi Pro portion of the race. Andrew Brown finished third. Jerry Rector finished fourth and claimed the victory in the Masters portion of the race. RS Senter finished fifth.

Will Ragsdale and Chuck Mitchell elected to start on the rear of the field after finishing first and second respectively in the heat race. By lap five the two had moved to the second and third place positions with each closing on Meyer. Mitchell pressured Meyer repeatedly the remainder of the race but failed to bypass him for the lead position. Chuck Mitchell finished second. Ragsdale didn’t fare as well since he spun near the half way mark in the race and then had other problems which forced him out of the race. Ragsdale was scored seventh. Shawn Mize finished third. Alan Mitchell finished fourth. Frank Williams finished fifth.

Dylan Wages picked up first victory of the season in the Young Guns race. Austin Northcutt led the first five laps of the race before he was bypassed by Trey Gibson.

Austin Aker came across the finish line third with Dylan Wages completing the field. Following the race the top three protested back and forth and some refused to pull down while others failed to pass the inspection. The technical inspector stated after the race that top three nit picked at each other’s cars and eventually items were found wrong on each of the top three cars. Since the top three failed inspection the official victory was awarded to Dylan Wages.
