He got off to a strong start, topping the hot laps with a fast time of 56.129. The Reigning Champion assumed the early lead in race one but a mistake in the matrix section caused him to drop a position. Unable to regain the lead late in the race, Haaker crossed the line in second.

With an inverted start in race two, Haaker got off to a mid-pack start and quickly battled to get around riders early on. By the time he made his way into second, race leader Trystan Hart had already extended his lead and Haaker held strong to bring it in for second.

He positioned himself to put pressure on the leaders mid-way through but a costly mistake took him out of the lead battle and he came through with a third-place podium finish. With 2-2-3 Main Event finishes, Haaker captured second overall on the night he maintains the championship points lead with three rounds remaining.
