Despite a late-afternoon rain shower that delayed the program and resulted in a hammer-down race track, Cole progressed throughout the night to finish seventh in the night's finale.
Twenty-six drivers passed through the pit gate to take aim on the 1/3-mile oval. Vanderheiden started his night by sliding backwards from the fifth-starting spot to a seventh-place finish.
As a result, he was relegated to the B-Main where he finished third to lock into the 18th-starting spot for the night's feature. Persevering in the feature, Cole hard charged to a seventh-place finish at the checkered flag.
With the performance, Vanderheiden finished eighth in the 2022 season standings at Eagle Raceway.
Sunday night competition found Cole back at Huset's Speedway (Brandon, S.D.), where 30 Wyffel Hybrids Race Saver Sprint Car Series took to the state-of-the-art oval.
Cole found himself behind the eight ball early in the night. He was running in the second position, when he and another competitor made contact, causing him to slip to a fifth-place finish.
With only the Top-4 finishers moving onto the main event, he was relegated to a B-Main, which he won to lock into the 17th-starting spot.
For the second-straight night Cole raced his way through the pack to score a Top-10 finish. He crossed the finish line in eighth and picked up the $100 Hard Charger Award for his efforts.
