Other notable runs included a 4.05 from Mary Reep in the "Grim Reeper", a 4.12 from Raymond Dawson in "High Octane" and a pair of 4.13's from Bobby Marriott's "Shockwave" and Ken Singleton's "High Risk" entries.

In the second and final qualifier, Bobby Marriott stepped up to a 4.08 at 176 mph and Mark Bowman clicked off a solid 4.12 at 172 mph.  Unfortunately, Bowman suffered engine damage on that run which ended his weekend earlier than expected.  Donnie Massey slid into the field with a 4.13 at 174 in "Showtime" while 2014 Series Champion John Broussard posted a 4.09 at 172 to put "Purple Haze" in the show.  Doyle Smith and the "Chemical Reaction" team fought transmission issues in both qualifiers and were unable to make the call for first round.  The Cross & Meyer "Crossways" entry had unexpected rear end troubles which kept them from making a pass, leaving eleven cars still in competition heading into the first round of eliminations.  Eric Buchanan took top qualifying honors in his first race back as the "Nitro Relapse" team would lead the field into round one.
