On Memorial Day Weekend each year Skagit Speedway holds the John Carroll Classic in memory of former racer Big John Carroll.

On this race night the feature wins went to Barry Martinez in the Foley RV 410's, Marc Huson in the Budweiser 360's, Jimmy Deitz in the Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprints and the first ever Carroll Classic Pioneer Ford Outlaw Hornet win went to Jody Walker.

For Martinez it was his third straight win in the Foley RV 410's. Martinez led all 25 laps of the 410 Main holding off the repeated charges of Brad Pritchard. Huson was third and Kyle Johnson and Josh Edson rounded out the top five. Picking off heat race wins were Roy Blumenhagen and Gary Vaughn. Picking up the Hard Charger award for the night was Martinez with 12 positions gained.

Third through fifth place was Bob Stevens, Travis Jacobson and Cory Chamberlain. Huson won his heat race and Rod Perkins won the other heat.

It took him five years to repeat the feat but Jimmy Deitz found victory circle again in the Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprints.
