Roberts is the second first-time driver to win during this season. Cody Baker defeated Eric Kvilhaug to claim his first win.

Baker and Kvilhaug were scheduled to complete their final round at New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire. However, due to inclement weather, it had to be pushed back.

Following the Epping-based race, Baker defeated Kvilhaug on Friday night at the Maple Grove Raceway event in Mohnton, Pennsylvania. Baker became the first screw-blower car to win in the series.
