On Saturday evening, Chris edged his way into the $50,000-to-win finale with a third-place finish in his heat race. Rolling off 11th, Ferguson suffered a flat right-rear tire on lap 26 that sent him pitside. He charged from the tail in the remaining distance of the 77-lapper to salvage a ninth-place outing.
