Following the 14th-fastest qualifying effort, Alberson secured his spot into the main event with a fifth-to-third run in his heat. With $22,022 on the line, Garrett posted an eighth-place finish in the 50-lap affair.
On Thursday, Garrett returned with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) at Tyler County Speedway (Middlebourne, W. Va.) for the rescheduled Hillbilly Hundred. In a field of 40 cars, Alberson jumped up one spot in his heat race to pick up the win. Earning the fourth-starting position for the $30,000-to-win A-Main, Garrett nearly nosed ahead of race-long pacesetter Kyle Larson on lap 69 before fading to third when the checked flag flew in the 100-lapper. He trailed Larson and Brandon Sheppard to the checkers with Tim McCreadie and Josh Richards completing the Top-5 finishers.
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.).
Garrett sits in seventh in the latest LOLMDS point standings.
