NOTES
- Round 5: Throwdown took place in front of a capacity crowd at Evergreen Speedway

- Top qualifier Michael Essa (USA) was eliminated by Dylan Hughes who finished third and ahead of Field by virtue of a superior qualifying position
- Jonathan Hurst (USA) was the top rookie at FD SEA, finishing ninth overall driving the Cash Racing Infiniti G37
