On Wednesday afternoon, Seibers posted an 11th place outing in his heat race, sending him into the B-Main. Transferring the Top 2 into the $7,000-to-win A-Main, David fell short with a 10th-place outing.
The following night, Seibers came in 11th in his heat race, leaving him with one last shot at the A-Main with a consolation event. Needing to finish second or better, David was the first retiree from the 10-lapper on the fourth lap.
In a field of 77 Late Models on Friday, David followed up the 37th fastest lap in his time trial group with an 11th place finish in his B-Main. Transferring into the B-Main, Seibers posted a 10th-place finish, bringing an early end to his night.
On Saturday, the team departed from Tampa and headed to Boyd’s Speedway (Ringgold, Ga.) for the Valvoline Iron-Man Racing Series-sanctioned Cabin Fever. Drawing 43 cars, David failed to qualify for the A-Main via his qualifying effort. Locking the Top 4 into the $4,000-to-win A-Main, Seibers scored a fourth-place finish, which positioned him 19th on the starting grid for the show.
