After finishing fourth in the heat race, he went on to the B-main. The home-track advantage didn't prove true as car #72w struggled with transmission troubles when he went "too tech". The pit was a flurry of scrambling to get the spare transmission into the car and Howard set out for the A-main. Starting in the thirteenth position, he worked his way around the track into eleventh position when he was hit from back on the first straight, sending car #72w into the infield. It took three laps before Howard made it back onto the track, where he claimed the twentieth spot and returned the next night. 

Saturday night's race was far better for Howard as he won his heat. He started in the fourth position in the main and battled for second with Justin Yeager. After a caution, Howard battled several laps with Davis Carst for first. Another caution. On the restart Howard faced a bent wheel going into the first turn and he kept in the top five through the nigh in the feature and finished with a sixth position overall.
