In a field of 70 World of Outlaws Case Late Model Series entries, Trent laid down the second-fastest lap in his time trial group before picking up an eight-lap heat race victory. Receiving the third-starting position for the $15,000-to-win opener via the redraw, Ivey snuck past Brandon Overton for second on lap 23 before fading to third when Shane Clanton wrestled away the runner-up spot with two laps remaining. He went onto place third in the 40-lapper, trailing Mike Marlar and Clanton to the checkers with Brandon Overton and Tim McCreadie completing the Top-5 finishers.
For another $15,000-to-win feature on Thursday, Ivey rebounded with a fourth-place finish in his heat after breaking a rocker arm in his qualifying session. With a consolation victory pinning him on the 10th row for the A-Main, Trent faded to 26th when the checkered flag flew.
Earning a second-place starting spot in his heat courtesy the World Finals - Every Lap Matters points system, Trent lost one spot in his heat, positioning him to start 18th in the $25,000-to-win finale. Ivey completed 18 laps before pulling off the speedway to finish 26th.
