In a field of 21 cars, Eli’s qualifying effort placed him on the fifth row for the $5,000-to-win A-Main. Working his way through the field, Beets tracked down race-leader Dalton Cook late in the 40-lapper but was unable to get by, marking him second on the rundown. Sam Seawright, Jason Hiett, and Billy Franklin completed the Top-5 finishers.
