In a field of 40 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) entries, Pearson stopped the clock sixth-fastest in his group before placing third in his heat. Starting the $30,000-to-win Hillbilly Hundred in 12th, Earl gained four spots in the 100-lapper to register an eighth-place finish.
After saturated grounds cancelled Friday's scheduled event at Raceway 7 (Connaut, Ohio), an unfavorable forecast wiped out Saturday's Pittsburgher 100 at Pittsburgh PA. Motor Speedway (Pittsburgh, Pa.).
Earl is currently fifth in the latest LOLMDS point standings.
