in America Series contest. Jimmy Owens, who debuted a new paint
scheme, narrowly missed out on transferring into the 50-lap feature
after placing fourth in both his heat race and his B-Main.

on Thursday, Jimmy grabbed the third transfer spot through his heat
race and was running inside of the top ten in the 50-lap main event

grand finale, Jimmy won his heat race in preliminary action, but
a flat tire before the halfway mark in the 100-lap crown jewel headliner
helped drop the Newport, Tennessee star to a fifteenth place effort.
