The 13-time Claremont Speedway track champion won his heat race and started on the pole during the 30-lap feature event.

After fighting off challenges from TJ Bleau for the first 17 laps and eventual track champion, Dana Smith, for the final 13 circuits, Jarvis continued to add to his career feature win total. He also competed on June 9 finishing 2nd after starting 7th.
