The following night at Senoia Raceway (Senoia, Ga.), Payton laid down the second-quickest lap overall but hit a hole in his heat, relegating him into the B-Main. After going for the win on the final lap, Freeman got spun around, forcing him to rely on a provisional into the A-Main. With $10,053 on the line, Payton advanced forward 10 spots in the 53-lapper to place 11th.
