Round 3 was concluded shortly before 11:30 p.m. Rain delays combined with a huge car count, multiple oil-downs and air temps in the low 40's convinced series race director Chris Schneider to call the race for the night for safety concerns and finish it the next day. That meant a sleepless night for Russ Berens, who was still three winning laps away from an improbable World Championship.

Sunday morning came and the sun was shining on the track. Shortly before 10 a.m., the fourth round of eliminations began with Fenice putting a holeshot on the Scott Bourrell and his 9-second ’64 330 Mopar and getting an easy win. Holeshots were cheap in the fourth round as Berens used one to defeat Kevin Miller, who had pushed his Dodge too hard at the finish line and broke out by two-hundredths. Jamie Guy ran a 10.508 on his 10.500 index in his single to move on to Round 5.

Because of an odd number of entries there were three cars left in competition when the semifinals were run. Berens got the bye and in yet another race decided by the red light, Guy fouled against Minnesota racer Fenice. Berens getting to the finals guaranteed the Wisconsin Mopar racer at least a points tie for the series championship event if he were to lose in the final. 

The final round was anti-climatic. Victory Performance NSS rookie Fenice was trying to qualify for the A&A NSS race at the same event. That race’s final Qualifier followed Round 5 of the Victory NSS race. Fenice was on a qualifying pass when his Max Wedge gave up the ghost. The breakage was catastrophic, not only destroying the motor but taking out the transmission too.
