The following night at Davenport Speedway (Davenport, Iowa) on the quarter-mile oval, Godsey came one spot short of a transfer position in his heat with a fifth-place finish while Roth finished sixth. Transferring the Top 2 from the B-Main into the $5,000-to-win A-Main, Jeff fell short with a 13th-place outing. After taking a provisional into the show, Joe passed improved five spots to finish 17th.
On Friday evening at Dirt Oval Route 66 Raceway (Joliet, Ill.), Joe locked his spot into the $10,000-to-win A-Main with a fifth-place finish in his heat while Jeff finished sixth. Godsey clawed forward one spot in the 30-lapper to lace 13th while Roth pulled off with a six laps remaining.
For another $10,000-to-win A-Main on Saturday at Fayette County Speedway (Brownstown, Ill.), Godsey clocked in seventh fastest in his group before placing third in his heat. Roth fell one spot short with a fifth-place finish, but was granted a provisional into the main event. Joe held his spot for all 50 laps of the feature to finish 10th while Jeff passed seven cars to register a 14th-place finish.
To wrap up the Fourth of July weekend on Sunday at Lincoln Speedway (Lincoln, Ill.), both drivers failed to qualify for the A-Main via their heat races, sending them into the B-Main. Joe elected to scratch with a provisional while Jeff streaked to a 10-lap consolation victory. With $5,000 on the line, Godsey passed 10 cars to finish 12th while Roth jumped up three spots to place 14th.
