| L | 8 | L | Mike SMITH | Monte Carlo | 0.211 | 11.763 | 65.3 |
Mike Smith has lost three races in a row since defeating Ashley Force-Hood at the Northwest Nationals. A terrible start, and the quick shutdown from Smith, was later credited to a severe problem with the inner workings of his car.

| W | 10 | R | Matt HAGAN | Charger | 0.083 | 4.709 | 290.5 |
| L | 7 | L | Jim HEAD | Solara | 0.124 | 5.640 | 278.5 |
A first-time race between these two was not one to send the crowd into raptures but the better start from Hagan was enough to build early momentum and see off Head.

| L | 11 | L | Del WORSHAM | Solara | 0.098 | 5.458 | 281.5 |
Another debut meeting and one which Bob Gilbertson, after failing to qualify in the last event, had little to worry about even without some wheelspin from Worsham.

Ron Capps continues to struggle through the second half of the season losing to Tasca III for the third time in 2009 who in turn has won at least one race in his last ten events.

| L | 1 | R | Tim WILKERSON | Mustang | 0.086 | 4.560 | 285.5 |
After the effort of qualifying fastest and winning the Fram Autolite nationals Tim Wilkerson falls at the first hurdle to his son, Daniel, tying the season series between them at 1-1.

| L | 15 | L | Jeff AREND | Solara | 0.091 | 4.741 | 293.5 |
Arend's lean streak of one win in his last five races since reaching the final four events ago continues, and Tony Pedregon beats out Gilbertson as the fastest man on track in the round by 0.001 and goes 2-0 against Arend.

| L | 4 | R | Mike NEFF | Mustang | 0.093 | No Time | N/A |
Brian Thiel earns his fifth win of the year by default, although his performance was worthy of victory. Mike Neff now has a 10-15 record this season, reaching two finals and losing in ten first round races, including the last three.

After winning only one race in the eight of twelve events he qualified for, Jack Beckman has won five on the bounce with his sweep of the Mopar Mile-High event three rounds past. Robert Hight's record degrades to 7-14 with defeat in his debut against Beckman.
