Race #1
Two riders were entered into the TTXGP class, both were on Lightning Motorcycles. Michael Barnes started from pole and led every lap on his Lightning motorcycle. His teamate Tim Hunt stayed with him for the first lap before dropping back on the second lap and eventually retiring with electrical issues on the third. Lightning Motorcyles did not disclose what the problem was, but felt the bike would be fixed by race #2 later in the day. Team Brammo Icon did not enter the race after crashing in both Friday practice and qualifying on Saturday. Even without competition, Michael continued to push his motorcycle and laped three of the four eSuperstock Spec entrants.
The second finisher, and the first eSuperstock Spec finisher was Martin Szwarc. Martin led a close battle with Kenyon Kluge for the first two laps before opening a gap on lap three. Kyle Schumacher was another 14 seconds behind and Ernest Montague was 35 seconds behind him.

Race #2
Michael Barnes led from the start of the race and appeared to be pulling away from the pack. After two laps, he had put a sizable distance between himself and his teammate Tim Hunt. Unfortunately, his motorcycle failed before he could complete the third lap and he could not continue. Tim Hunt went on to win the race and the rest of the bikes finished in the same order as the first race.
