With a second-place finish in his heat race placing him on the fourth row for the $5,000-to-win preliminary feature, Pearson gained one spot in the 30-lapper to finish sixth.

Earning the sixth-starting position for Saturday’s $50,000-to-win Topless 100, Earl ran in the top-five early but faded to ninth when the checkered flag flew.

Pearson remains in sixth in the latest LOLMDS point standings.
