| W | 9 | R | Matt HAGAN | Charger | 0.040 | 4.074 | 307.3 |
| L | 8 | L | John FORCE | Mustang | 0.109 | 6.577 | 221.5 |
In only his second successful qualification in the last eight events John Force loses to Matt Hagan for the second time this year. The late wheelspin was not a factor for Force as the bad start had already decided the race.

| W | 10 | L | Robert HIGHT | Mustang | 0.096 | 4.043 | 292.8 |
| L | 7 | R | Bob BODE | Impala | 0.111 | 4.857 | 283.5 |
In the first meeting between the drivers Robert Hight wins his fifth first-round race of the season; two of the previous four started him on the road to a semifinal place. Bob Bode is still looking for a win after his eighth straight defeat since reaching a semifinal of his own way back in the second event of the season

| W | 8 | R | Tim WILKERSON | Mustang | 0.051 | 4.704 | 276.5 |
| L | 11 | L | Justin SCHRIEFER | Camaro | 0.096 | 5.448 | 266.0 |
Neither driver was really on it in this contest but some adjustment for wheelspin was Schriefer's downfall, leaving Tim Wilkerson to take his twentieth victory in '09.
| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 12 | L | Jim HEAD | Solara | 0.120 | 4.742 | 271.0 |
| L | 5 | R | Gary DENSHAM | Impala | 0.096 | 5.731 | 265.5 |
Both men failed to qualify in the previous event and, after correcting their ways here, met for the first time. A similar story to the previous race but this time a slight mechanical hiccup costing Densham his third race win; Head has now won two of his seven races and qualified in four of the last five events.

| W | 1 | R | Tony PEDREGON | Impala | 0.089 | 4.971 | 283.5 |
| L | 16 | L | Ashley FORCE-HOOD | Mustang | 0.120 | 7.951 | 198.5 |
Tony Pedregon hoped to get his championship aspirations back on track by defeating Ashley Force-Hood for the sixth time this season. Force-Hood had to shut it down before the mid point of a race she was trailing in from the start; that is two first round exits in a row for her.

| W | 15 | L | Bob TASCA III | Mustang | 0.078 | 4.036 | 292.8 |
| L | 2 | R | Mike SMITH | Monte Carlo | 0.118 | 9.960 | 87.8 |
Another malfunction with the inner workings of a car, this time Mike Smith's, may not have had much effect on the race with Bob Tasca III in fine form in this race and the season, winning at least one race in each of the last nine events.

| L | 13 | L | Mike NEFF | Mustang | 0.096 | 9.998 | 84.5 |
The bad luck continues with Mike Neff the latest victim of circumstance. Del Worsham will race in his eighth quarterfinal of the year.

| L | 3 | R | Ron CAPPS | Charger | 0.085 | 5.373 | 286.5 |
The series between the two is now tied at 2-2 thanks to Jeff Arend enjoying a clean getaway while Capps was left struggling for traction.
