With the top 12 in points locked in to the first Sportsman feature on the Night of Features, Mark Mortensen started the first feature event in the seventh position but was never a factor in the event and finished one spot back from where he started in the eighth position.

With a last lap pass for the win Luke Munroe was the winner of the event with Mortensen getting up to the fifth position at the checkered flag. With the fifth place finish Mortensen ended up third in the final point standings for 2009, his best finish in points in his seven year racing career.
