Carrier Jr. was able to advance to a 10th place finish.
Friday's program again found the field divided into a pair of $5,000-to-win races, and after qualifying 27th fastest he started 3rd in his heat race before advancing to a 2nd place finish, which positioned him starting 8th in the 25 lap finale.
