Willis would get sent to the pits for the and would have to settle for a B main start. This would leave 5 cars on the track giving them all a qualifying spot. There would be no major problems in any of the other heats.

In the B main 8 cars would take the green but before the finish the first lap Kluth's car would plow the 06 of Whitt and drive him to the wall. Kluth's car had a stuck throttle and Whitt was caught in the middle. This would end the B main giving all the cars a qualifying spot for the main.
