Mike was credited with a 17th place night.

The second race was the rescheduled Charles Trammell Memorial NASRA race at Tazewell Speedway. The race was moved to Sunday to allow for an extra day of track prep. As was expected, the track was dry and slick from the warm sunshine. The race was filled with plenty of cautions. But Mike stayed ahead of most of the incidents and brough home a 6th place finish.
