He recorded a 3.675-second pass at 201.40 mph at the Virginia Motorsports Park event. 
 
Camp and fellow first-time low qualifiers Johnny Pluchino (Liberty’s Gears Extreme Pro Stock) and Jimmy Pelcarsky ($hameless Racing Pro Outlaw 632) led the pro classes along with Tommy Franklin (Switzer Dynamics Pro Nitrous) and Paul Gast (Drag 965 Pro Nitrous Motorcycle).
