Dustin fell to #2 qualifier Erin Scott in the final round. This was Dustin's first opportunity to run in the heads-up series. Rick Dailey tuned the car to a blistering 4.312 in the final round of qualifying taking the top spot by .007 from the Team Brand X car driven by Erin Scott who clocked a 4.319 in the final round.
Ken Ryan, Dustin's father, said "We are extemely excited about our first attempt at outlaw racing. We can't thank Rick Dailey and the Griggs family enough for allowing us to use their equipment and having Rick tune it to the top qualifying spot and unlitmately the runner-up finish."
Go Fast Lion Motorsports will field a car next year for the entire series. The car will be a 2009 RPC powered by a Whaley engine.
