She finished as runner-up in her heat race and started second in the 25-lap, $1,150-to-win feature. She started strong in the main event but ultimately suffered a DNF. However, she still recorded a 10tth-place finish.
For Saturday's finale, 13 WISSOTA Late Model teams were in the pit area seeking a $1,250 winner’s share. Ward won her heat and started third in the 25-lap A-Main. She came home in the eighth spot and closed out the season 10th in track points.
Overall in 2024, Ward notched two top-fives and eight top-10 finishes.
