Kicking off the 13th annual Silver Dollar Nationals presented by MyRacePass weekend at it's new location, Earl Pearson Jr. rolled into Huset’s Speedway (Brandon, S.D.) and entered his Papich Racing No. 46 into Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series action.
Starting off the evening with the third-fastest lap in his group, EPJ would earn the ninth-place starting position with a third-place run in his heat race. For the $12,000-to-win Go 50, Earl recorded an 11th-place finish.
With Mother Nature pushing Friday's heat race to Saturday afternoon, Pearson Jr. finished fifth in the first round of heat races while picking it up to a third-place finish in the second round.
With passing points setting the grid for the $53,000-to-win Silver Dollar Nationals finale later Saturday night, EPJ locked himself into the main event and would roll off 15th.
For the 80-lap finale on Saturday evening, Earl completed all 80 laps and landed in 19th at the checkered flag.
