The miniseries continued Wednesday night where all three drivers struggled on the evening. Peyton ran second in his heat race before starting 12th in the X-Mod feature and falling out of the race before the checkered. Fito raced from 9th to 7th in his heat race and then finished 5th in his Modified b-main, ending his night early and Jake ran fifth in his Mod heat but fell out of the b-main early as well.

After a Thursday off-night, action resumed on Friday night with Peyton's bad luck continuing by falling out of both his heat race and the b-main with mechanical issues. Fito was able to race from 10th up to 5th in his qualifying heat race before placing 14th in the night's feature race and Jake had the best showing of the week with an 8th to 3rd run in his heat and a 5th to 2nd run in the feature, finishing a solid runner up.

Saturday saw Fito have his best run of the week with a 2nd place finish in his heat race before starting 12th and racing forward to cross the finish line 6th in the main event. Jake struggled in his heat race, won the b-main and started 18th in the feature but unfortunately dropped out before the race finished and Peyton won his heat race and was off to a great start on the night, but after starting 5th in the feature, he fell out and was unable to finish the race.

Sunday's finale saw Fito race from 10th to 8th in his heat race before racing form 5th to 2nd in the b-main and then he was able to charge his way from his 20th starting spot in the feature up to finish 9th to cap off a solid ending to the week. Jake ran 9th in his heat race to start the night and then dropped out of the b-main continuing his streak of tough luck and Peyton, after running 6th in his heat race, finished third in the b-main and then worked his way from his 21st starting spot in the main to cap off his weekend with an 18th place finish.
