Swapping back-and-forth for the lead with Kale Westover, Ramirez came up short at the line to finish second. He trailed Westover to the checkers with Tyler Peterson coming in third.

Later Saturday night, Dereck outran Lance Mari in his heat race to pick up the eight-lap victory. Starting the $15,000-to-win King of America XI in fifth, Ramirez clawed forward one spot in the 60-lapper to register a fourth-place finish. He followed Jake O’Neil, Darron Fuqua, and Dustin Sorensen across the line with Jason Hughes rounding out the Top-5.
