Dave Brigati of Calverton, father-in-law to the Modified winner Roger Turbush also found his way to victory lane as he topped the 25-lap Late Model feature. Brigati and Riely O'Keefe, making his first start in a Late Model made up the front row with "The Fancy Farmer" Brigati breaking to the early lead. One lap after an early race restart O'Keefe left the bottom open ever so slightly with defending champion Gerard Giordano sneaking under him for second on lap 8. However, another yellow would wave for a Ray Minieri and Kevin Metzger tangle in turn four on lap 12. On the restart that followed O'Keefe repaid the favor back to Giordano sliding under Gerard for second. All the jockeying for position, combined with a fast hot rod allowed Dave Brigati in his Coors Light Chevy to drive away to his 11th career victory. Riely O'Keefe of Manorville continues to enjoy a magical 2026 season bringing the VIP Property Services and Serv Pro Team KC Ford home second subbing for Ed Cheslak. Sean Glennon of Northport drove the Middle Country Auto Service entry out of the Paprocky-Cheslak shops to a third place showing.
