Tyler’s first laps around the high banked oval were the fastest out of all 29 entires in qualifying with a 11.710 sec lap around the world’s fastest 1/3 mile. Tyler’s qualifying effort gave him the pole position for one of four 10-lap heat races. Tyler led all 10 laps in his heat but had to hold off a hard-charging Michael Chilton in the closing laps before taking the checkered flag.

After Tyler’s heat race win, all four heat race winners would then redraw for the first two rows of the main event. With Tyler drawing the 1, it gave him the pole starting position in the 50-lap, $10,000 to win main event. Racing door-to-door with a couple of the hottest drivers in the country, Tyler brought his Millwood Plumbing No. 31 across the finish line in the 5th position.
