McMains was lucky to even be in the finals as in the first round as McMains did his burnout a plug on the engine block used to drain water broke and water leaked out onto the track and, as he left the starting line, the rear tire hit the water causing the car to make a hard sharp right turn. McMains was able to get the car under control and avoid hitting anything and staying in his lane. His opponent broke out and since McMains was able to stay in his lane get the win and advance to the next round.
