The finish came in his 1st career start. In the SCRL Formula E Series, it's the 1st for car #28 and the 3rd for engine issues. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 11th for the #28 and the 43rd for engine issues. Stewart was one of twenty drivers who signed up to compete in the second season of the Formula E division and was looking to make an impact in his first ever SCRL start.
On race day, Stewart was scheduled to roll off 1st while starting in the final spot was the #18 Sonny's Real Pit BBQ of Jeff Cornils, but as soon as the drivers began their pace lap, Stewart's car began to lose power, forcing Stewart to pull on pit road as the green flag was waved. Stewart's crew looked over the car and discovered that the engine had blown, ending their day in disappointment after high hopes in qualifying.
Rounding out the Bottom Five was; 19th the #9 Target of Mikali Kose, 18th was the #67 Hartman Oil of Blaise Zebrataur, 17th was the #20 Fuzzy's Vodka of TJ Dent and 16th was the aforementioned #18 of Jeff Cornils.
