Due to covid-19 rescheduling some conflicts were presented to racers with multiple events going on during the same weekend.

Tennessee’s Hunter Wright #29 set Bama Budweiser Fast time at 19.525. less than .5 of a second separated the top 8. Christopher Tullis #12 was second fastest but had the luck of the redraw on his side as he would start on the pole position. Plottsboyz racing brought 2 entries as Kason was pulled from his early retirement to field a car and brother Kyle had a strong qualifying effort at 19.708. Plant City Florida racer Colin Allman #67 made the trip north in hopes of another good run. Jim Wall #91 and Hudson Halder #20 would round out the top 8.

Before the feature a tribute to Dennie Rewis #26 on the front stretch saw Jody Franklins race car re skinned and painted like one of Mr Rewis’s old cars.
