After testing on the 1.99 mile road course, everyone at T.O.E. was ready to go race. Following two strong practice sessions the team was ready for the European style qualifying on Friday afternoon. Hubert posted a speed of 89.845 giving him a starting position of 9th.

After taking the green flag, the No. 25 Sunsweet Ford quickly moved to the front and lead laps 22-25, caution on lap 25 gave the team an opportunity to come down pit road for a gas and go. Once again on the move to the front, Hubert was spun coming out of turn eleven, with 12 laps left in the race Hubert was in 21st position, without skipping a beat, Hubert straighten out, put it in gear and was on the go. Making the most of the final green flag laps, Hubert just missed a podium finish and crossed the finish line in 4th.
