HEAT 1: Once Matt Webb was able to work past Jimmy Gustin, he was able to opening a comfortable lead as the white flag comes out. Gustin runs second. Ronn Lauritzen was able to slip past Hunter Marriott to take third. Marriott is fending off a last lap challenge from Vern Jackson for the final transfer to the VDTC Bill Colwell Ford Main Event.

HEAT 2: JD Auringer maintains the point in Heat 2, but Todd Shute is still within striking distance on the final lap. Cayden Carter and Dustin Smith run third and fourth respectively. Kyle Brown is still close, but he will need a fan-voted boost if he wants to catch Smith.

HEAT 3: Kelly Shryock takes the white flag as the leader, but Richie Gustin Jr. has been closing in on Skryock. Troy Cordes has joined that fight running third. Scott Hogan rounds out the Top 4.

Top 4 Advance to the VDTC Bill Colwell Ford Main Event

HEAT 1: Jake McBrinie has started to pull away in the closing laps of Heat 1. Tyle Soppe runs second. Dakoda Sellers sits third.
