In his 8th career start, McPherson would lead 9 of the 23 laps to score his first career truck series win at Louisville. With his first victory, the team was excited to remain on the short tracks, with McPherson finishing 5th in the last round at Bristol.

On race day, McPherson would roll off starting in 31st while starting last was the #61 Roush Performance Products Ford of Nitahbk the first eight laps would be a calm, but competitive race at both the front and back of the field but on lap 9 the lone caution would come out.
