For the first time this season, Hudson Performance presented its Dash For Cash Program. This program will be run during the first race of each of the three Money Trail sessions. Winning this time around were Paul Thimm Jr. (Mohnton, Pa.) in Super, Mowery (Pro) and Brittany Heffelfinger (Wernersville, Pa.) in Street. Thimm and Mowery each received $250, while Heffelfinger won $150.

The other Dash for Cash races are scheduled for June 27 and Aug. 14.

Before the beginning of eliminations, a moment of silence and then a memorial pass were held for three Maple Grove regulars who died in the offseason: Bruce Miskar, Rob Terreson and Randy Schoenly.
