Teague set the fastest qualifying time on Friday, clocking in with a 16.537-second lap. LaFont’s 16.666-second qualifying time put him six points behind Teague going into the feature race on Saturday, September 25.

The top six qualifiers drew for starting positions in the feature race. Lady Luck was on LaFont’s side when he drew the pole, and Teague drew the third starting position.

Although Teague consistently threatened LaFont’s lead throughout the entire race, he was unable to make the pass at any point during the 40-lap event. When the checkered was waved, LaFont captured both the win and the championship title. Teague finished the year a mere four points behind LaFont.
