Hudson Nagy fought clutch issues in practice, followed by more mechanical gremlins for a 15^th in his debut.

2021 OSCAAR Modified Champion TJ Edwards placed 16^th following contact with Brad Pearsall and the backstretch wall on the opening lap of the event. Paul Townsend brought out the races’ first caution, though, after getting turned into the front stretch wall after Lowbottom got sideways on the initial start.
