The finish came in his 10th start.
Entering Season 1 of the Busch Series, Willis was a rookie who was tabbed to drive in the SCRL's second highest division, with the team looking to make a name for themselves against some of the best the SCRL had to offer. Willis's career started off with a 19th at Daytona, 24th at Richmond, 23rd at Bristol, 38th at Martinsville, 26th at Darlington, before scoring his first career Top 10, a 8th at Hickory. Wills's team would continue to struggle with a 32nd at South Boston and 28th at Caraway before Willis scored his second ever Top 10, a 7th at the second Richmond in the last round, but the driver was still down in points and had to compete in the LCQ(Last Chance Qualifier) at Langley.
On race day, Willis would roll off starting 20th while starting last was Caraway last-place finisher #02 unsponsored Pontiac of Grayson Acevedo. The racing action would be non-stop and run without in cautions as only ten laps would determine who would advance to the main race as by the end of the race Willis would fall back into the final spot and would be scored in last.
The remaining Bottom Five were: 41st was South Boston last-place finisher the #00 Thomas Bros. Country Ham Buick of Dinkdrinker, 40th was the aforementioned #02 of Grayson Acevedo, 39th was the #16 Bobby Cash Auto Parts Pontiac of Riley Spurlytube and 38th was Hickory last-place finisher the #7 unsponsored Pontiac of Truttle.
