Gary McKinney and Greg Pruitt, both driving Gamble Racing owned cars, were the semi-finalist.
	Twenty eight 5.30 cars qualified and again the number one qualifier went on to win. Paige Owens doesn't race as often as some of his competitors but whenever he shows up he is a threat to win it all as he did for the second time this year. He defeated Tim Jones in the semi-finals and Russell Nece in the finals. his 5.36 was enough to secure the win as Nece brokeout with a 5.29. Nece had advance to the finals when his semi-final opponent Chris Calloway lost oil pressure. It was the first time out for the Larry Johnson owned Camaro, that Chris drives, after a horrific accident last November.
