   With the green light back on, Evans continued his lead, but things were about to change in the rest of the order. Smith back to lose ground as first Reinneck move past to take over second place.  Then a few laps later, Hancock to over third from Smith Jr.

   The final stoppage cam on lap 13, when Clary spun in turn three. The lineup was Evans, Reinneck, Hancock Smith Jr. and Miner in the top five.

   With just two laps left, the green flag was waving again and nothing changed in the top five as Evans went on to win his first feature at Belle Clair Speedway. Reinneck, Hancock, Smith Jr. and Miner completed the top five.

   In the UMP Sportsmen class, there were 24 cars available to race. In the first heat race, Joe Volluz took the win over Jimmy Cummins, Ronnie Bader, Troy Neager, Derek Bryant, Matt Tettaton and Louie Hayes. In the second heat, Justin Ketrow got the checkered flag followed by Tom Smallwood, Jason Keller, Brad McKinnon, Adam Haas, Randy Dietzel, Mike Jones and Chris Lodike. In the third heat, Jimmy Clark took the win with Mike Harris, Shawn Seymour, Troy Medley, Matt Workmen, Jimmy Miller and Brian Schlichter trailing. The dash went to Volluz over Ketrow, Cummins, Harris, Smallwood and Clark. The semi sent Dietzel, Jones, Workmen, Miller and Hayes to the feature.

  The 15 lap feature started with Volluz and Ketrow on the front row. With the dropping of the green flag, Volluz took command of the race with Ketrow, Cummins and Harris in tow.

  The first caution came on lap four when Hayes spun on the back straight away. The running order was Volluz, Ketrow, Cummins, Harris and Clark in the top five.

   With the race restarted, Volluz continued to dominate the race while Harris was on the move. Harris moved past Cummins for third and then past Ketrow for second.

   The final caution came on lap 11 for debris on the track. The running order now was Volluz, Harris, Ketrow, Cummins and Clark.

   Volluz took the victory over Harris, Ketrow, Clark and Shubirg to complete the first feature of the 2007 season.
