Jonathon Davenport set the qualifying and track record by finishing in 17.283 seconds.
Davenport won the first heat race to solidify pole position for the 50-lap A-main event.
The top four finishers from each of the four heats, and from each of the two B-main events, produced a competitive field of 24 for the second round of the Grand Nationals.
Chavous took the lead late, and after a final caution on lap 46, the race was a four-lap shootout.
Chavous became the second driver to win in the FASTRAK $300,000 Grand Nationals at Modoc Speedway.
