| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 16 | L | Jack WYATT | Firebird | 0.120 | 5.445 | 273.8 |
| L | 1 | R | Terry HADDOCK | Stratus | 0.083 | No Time | N/A |
A predictable if not disappointing result for the fastest driver in qualifying. Terry Haddock's car gave out very early, leaving Jack Wyatt to take his fourth victory of the season dispite some severe wheelspin; his first in his last eight races.
| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 9 | R | Matt HAGAN | Charger | 0.090 | 4.026 | 308.8 |
| L | 8 | L | Del WORSHAM | Solara | 0.102 | 5.463 | 275.0 |
The first meeting between the two led to a simple win for Matt Hagan, putting him into his thirteenth quarterfinal of 2009. Del Worsham has lost four straight since he appeared in the final of the O'Reilly Super Start Batteries NHRA Fall Nationals and is now below .500 for the year (18-19).
| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 4 | R | Bob TASCA III | Mustang | 0.083 | 4.444 | 302.0 |
| L | 13 | L | Jack BECKMAN | Charger | 0.087 | 4.464 | 286.0 |
The season series is tied at 1-1 in a very close contest that Bob Tasca III pipped to keep his impressive run of at least one race victory in every round so far. Two-times finalist and winner Jack Beckman is now 11-11 with three consecutive defeats.
| W | 12 | L | Bob GILBERTSON | Stratus | 0.069 | 4.425 | 297.5 |
| L | 5 | R | Mike NEFF | Mustang | 0.122 | No Time | N/A |
This makes three straight wins over Mike Neff and four in all six contests for Bob Gilbertson with his opponent suffering the second big blowup of the day. This ends a run of back to back first race defeats for Gilbertson and gives Neff (11-22) his tenth defeat in his last eleven races.
| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 2 | R | Ron CAPPS | Charger | 0.084 | 4.010 | 312.8 |
| L | 15 | L | John FORCE | Mustang | 0.069 | 4.129 | 301.8 |
This was a fifth loss in seven races for John Force but he was a little unlucky to hit a red hot Ron Capps fresh from his recent runner-up finish at the Virginia NHRA Nationals. After stating out 10-15, Capps has had a record of 10-6.
| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 7 | L | Tony PEDREGON | Impala | 0.086 | 4.163 | 301.8 |
| L | 10 | R | Mike SMITH | Monte Carlo | 0.109 | No Time | N/A |
Another malfunction, another loss for Mike Smith. He now has a 4-16 record. Compare that to the nine time finalist Tony Pedregon (46-16) and it would be no surprise that Pedregon is 2-0 against Mike Smith.
| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 14 | R | Brian THIEL | Monte Carlo | 0.064 | 4.057 | 307.8 |
| L | 3 | L | Tim WILKERSON | Mustang | 0.097 | No Time | N/A |
A second loss on the year to Brian Thiel should not change Tim Wilkersons' championship position of sixth place unless Ron Capps can go all the way. Thiel on the other hand will enter the top fifteen with his sixth win of the year.
| W/L | # | L | Driver | Car | R/T | E.T. | Speed |
| W | 6 | R | Ashley FORCE-HOOD | Mustang | 0.081 | 4.014 | 301.3 |
| L | 11 | L | Robert HIGHT | Mustang | 0.118 | 4.704 | 295.0 |
Two races in three events between these two and the same result both times. Force-Hood is searching for her fourth semi-final race in seven events, while Robert Hight loses at the first race for the eleventh time in twenty-one.
