ith completion of the PRO World Street Finals at Memphis Motorsports Park, the unofficial 2003 PRO world champions were also crowned. They include Steve Miller (Denso Pro Street), Joel Greathouse (Nitto Tire Super Street), Ross Stomp (Flowmaster Nostalgia Pro Street), Nick Rinehart (Vortech Xtreme Street), Chris Uratchko (TCI/FAST Pro Stock), Jeremy Taylor (Car Craft Cheap Street), Jeff Puckett (Hamburger's Oil Pans Nostalgia Super Stock) and Steve Jones. The Superchips Open Comp championship points have not been completely tabulated.

In racing action, Miller and his twin-turbo truck entered the event with a slight points lead over last year's champ, Pat Musi. Miller maintained that lead and clinched the championship after a semi-final round win. He faced Musi in the finals and took the win after the engine builder's car had transmission problems.

Joel Greathouse survived all sorts of problems to emerge as the race and points champion after his car limped to the starting line and took the green light. His final round opponent, Ray Sanchez, couldn't repair his transmission and missed the final round call.
