Friday night saw Garrett Alberson kick off the Fourth of July weekend with the Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association (MLRA) at 34 Raceway (West Burlington, Iowa) for the 12th annual Slocum 50. Drawing 35 cars, Garrett came two spots short of a transfer position in his heat with a sixth place finish, sending him into the B-Main. Notching a second place finish behind Tim Manville, Alberson locked into the 20th-starting position for the $10,555-to-win A-Main. Wheeling his way into the Top-10, Garrett passed 11 cars in the 50-lapper to place ninth.

The following night at 300 Raceway (Farley, Iowa) for the Independence Day Shootout, Alberson laid down the sixth fastest time overall in qualifying before picking up a 10-lap heat race victory.
