As has been tradition the past six years, the Chevy Performance LSX Shootout was held in conjunction with the NMCA Finals, and this race had some amazing performances. The most notable being the first six-second pass ever for JE Pistons Drag Radial as Mark Carlyle and his Corvette ran a 6.99 at 211 in his semifinal race against Andy Essary.

However, Carlyle stayed on the line building boost too long in the final against Mark Brown, losing the race, despite running a 7.09 to Brown’s 7.19.

In ERL Performance LSX All Motor, Judson Massingill defeated Greg Delaney in the final as Delaney fouled at the line, and in Holly EFI LSX Real Street, Rodeny Massengale, took out Ted Timmerman.

As in the past, the largest eliminator in the race belonged to the racers of ProForm LSX Rumble, where Nicolas Massengale defeated Robin White. In the Nitto Tire LSX 5th Generation eliminator, Josh Perrymon got the win after defeating Luois Fillippides, however Fillippides did win the 5th Gen Shootout between himself and Jon Ebert.

In the LSX portion of TREMEC True Street, Anthony Peck posted an 8.57 three-lap average to outgun the 8.99 of Justin May.

Also joining the NMCA at this event were racers of the Midwest E85 Association, whose eliminator was won by Clearance Harding.
