Horstman kicked off the weekend with a win at Attica (Ohio) Raceway Park (ARP) over a stout co-sanctioned field of Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS)/K&L Ready Mix National Racing Alliance (NRA) entries to earn his third victory of the 2017 season. Qualifying fourth out of 23 entrants, Horstman finished second in the first heat race to earn an outside row two starting position for the feature event.

Houseman scored the win at Boone (Iowa) Speedway on Saturday, May 13, as he took the checkered flag in the IMCA RaceSaver division. Finishing second in the first heat race, Houseman navigated to the lead at the start of the feature event and held on through caution periods that shortened the race to 15-laps.
