With 22 laps to work his way forward in the field, Tom reached the second position at the checkered flag behind only Jacob Hobscheidt. Ryan Jenkins, Terry Phillips, and Cody Thompson rounded out the Top-5 finishers.
While he didn't win the night's feature Tom did bag the victory in the night's Dash for Cash. He was followed across the finish line by Jacob Hobscheidt, Terry Phillips, Cody Thompson, and Kelly Shryock.
