Dozen of vehicles entered the competition to last to be the last running. Hundreds of fairgoers attended the show. A slight drizzle fell just before the start of the derby, but this did not affect attendance. The rain stopped before the first demo of the night. The extra rain insured a wet track for the derby. 

Darrin Werner won first in the mid-size class with Justin Dezeeuw in second and Chance Pieper in finishing third.

In Compacts, Andy Noble took first, Logan Messner finished second and Denton Strassberg in third.

In Old Irons, Dustin Reinhart took first, Digger Helget finished second and Jason Rewitzer took third.

In the ’80s division, Bixs Felska took first with Bryon Kuehn in second and Phil Whittington in third.

Travis Schneider was the last vehicle standing in the Truck Derby. Josh Luneburg finished second and Marcus Lang took third.

The night ended with a Free-For-All featuring any vehicle still capable of running. Brent Schroeder was the overall champion of this final bout.
