In the 100-lap late model feature event it took two tries to get the first lap in the books, but when the green flag came out on the third time, outside front row starter Tim McCreadie blasted into the race lead. As McCreadie lead easily, 11th-starting Josh Richards was on the move as he had worked his way to second by the 12th circuit. Richards tracked down McCreadie to take the top spot on lap-28. Once in the lead Richards was on a mission as he lapped up to the 8th place car before the fuel stop on lap 50. However, during the fuel stop the right rear tire on Richards Rocket no. 25 went flat. After the race went back green Richards was the next caution as he dove to the pits for fresh rubber, handing the lead back to McCreadie. Even though Richards would blast back through the field to grab second at the line, McCreadie would lead the final 50-laps, unchallenged, to post his first-ever Octoberfest late model feature win.
"Josh (Richards) had the better car." McCreadie stated from victory lane. "I knew during the fuel stop that unless something happened to Josh he had the car to beat. I didn't even realize that Josh had made it back to second until the checkered was out." McCreadie praised his crew for the big win. "Yeah, I have to thank the guy's on the crew they gave me a great car and it's an honor to win here at Hagerstown."
2008 MACS champion Jason Covert was third, Rick Eckert was fourth and 13th starting Alan Sagi completed the top-five. Heats for the 38 cars on hand went to Devin Friese, Frankie Plessinger and McCreadie with Gary Stuhler winning the consolation.
