Along the way he scored the fastest lap time of the weekend. Brock Sellards had to put in overtime by going through the semi finals to get to the main event thus putting him on the back row for the start. Chad Johnson was ahead of Sellards in the early going before getting loose in the whoops and dropping to 7th. Johnson worked his way back to 3rd by the end of the race. Sellards finished 2nd, putting the points in a dead heat going in to the last round in Denver.
