The Driver Meet 'n Greet was held on the track home stretch to the delight of fans. Scott Treadway drove the #69 since his truck died at the first race of the season (he did our first ever truck cartwheel!). Adam Neeley in the #02 joined the group of drivers for his first race of the season.

Morgan placed 13th in qualifying times, which resulted in a Heat 1 race. He started in 5th place and finished in 3rd. The heat was won by Adam Neeley in the #02 truck. Heat 2 was taken by Marshall Davis after #55 turned into the #13 causing him to spin. The #51 came into the pits with a blown tire. Jon Lisenbee won the third heat race in #7.

The #88 faced Brian Cash in the Shootout, passed him early, but came in second. The overall winner was Tim Ashley in the #5.

The first Challenge race was won by Craig Kruckburg in #55 and the second Challenge race was won by Marshall Davis in #41. Morgan started in 9th and finished in 8th.
