July 9th.   Skagit Speedway mid-season championship night saw Colton Heath starting 8th in the scramble and moving up to fifth.  He used that starting position in the main to move quickly into 3rd position and set sight on the leaders. A lap 11 caution for a spinning 4th place car bunched the field. Heath used that restart to get around point leader Whitney and set sail for the leader, Jacobson. Nearing lap 20 the two encountered traffic with Jacobson choosing one line to get around the lapper and Heath the other. Heath passed Jacobson on lap 21 and was never headed the rest of the way.

After Parker, the car owner, was injured early in the year, Harkness got the call to dust off his helmet and come back to the track.
