John Chance (61) would follow in 2nd with a lap of 16.03, and Joe Piazza (99) 3rd with a lap of 16.14. After the fan determined invert of 6 rows, the top qualifiers would find themselves starting 11th and 12th on the grid. The 6 row invert would put J D Goff (16) and Kenny May (10) on the front row for the start of the feature. May would jump to the early lead with Leonard Arnold (60) 2nd, and Bubba Martone (98) in 3rd. Martone would move by Arnold for 2nd, and bring Tim Alexander (63) with him to 3rd.
