During the same night in a stout field of 59 United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) entries, Cade fell short of a transfer spot in his heat with a seventh place finish, transferring him into the B-Main. Needing a fourth place finish or better to make the show, Dillard logged an 11th place outing.

In the USMTS ranks, Dillard came in third in his heat, sending him into the consolation event. Transferring the Top 4 into the $5,000-to-win A-Main, Cade fell one spot shy with a fourth place finish.

On Saturday evening, Cade passed seven cars in Late Model heat to place third. Starting the $10,000-to-win finale in sixth, Dillard jumped up three spots in the 50-lapper to score a third place finish behind Rick Hanestad and Jimmy Mars with Jesse Glenz and Pat Doar rounding out the Top-5 finishers.

Starting the night off with a heat race victory in his Modified on Saturday, Dillard locked into the third-starting position for the main event.
