Carney and his team were 2 seconds back with one lap remaining but with his incredible speed Carney was able to easily take the win.
Women's racing for the evening was extremely competitive with top riders Sarah Uhl and Becky Conzelman leading the way. In the women's miss and out Sarah Uhl (Quark) dominated the entire field. She led the pack throughout the race, and breezed through the finish line in first place. Ashley Kimmet (Colavita Bolla) placed second, with Argentinian Veronica Martinez (Coach Argentina) in third. The women's 20-Lap points race was a close finish between Becky Conzelman (Frisco Cycling Club) and Ashley Kimmet (Colavita Bolla).

In the Women's Mid-Atlantic Team Sprint Championship the times were close in qualifying with Conzleman's team taking the top seed. The final was then contested by The Cats in the Capes (Sarah Uhl and Allie Warfel) against the top seeds dubbed the Angel Biker Club (Becky Conzelman and Liz Reap).
