The second event weekend in the Radical Cup North America program started with a test day on Thursday, followed by NTT IndyCar Series teams setting up their paddock. Friday morning had good weather and early qualifying sessions led by Jon Field in Platinum, Nicholas d’Orlando in Pro 1500, and PJ Hyett in Pro 1340. The first wheel-to-wheel action took place Friday afternoon, with these three drivers leading their classes in the first trophy hunt of the weekend. Jon Field took an early lead in the Platinum class, but Michai Stephen eventually won the race, becoming the first non-Field driver to win in that class. In the Pro 1500 class, Nicholas d’Orlando secured his first win in the series, while PJ Hyett dominated in Pro 1340, earning the win. McMurry initially won in Pro 1340 but faced a post-race penalty, resulting in a challenging day for Crown Racing.
