The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series event was completed under a shortened program at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55.

Local authority warned of the severity of the storm and measures were immediately taken for the safety of the spectators and teams.

Kerry Madsen won his fourth dash of the season to earn the pole for the famed event with fellow Australian James McFadden on the outside of the front row.

Kraig Kinser established quick time in qualifying to open the night, and Craig Dollansky, Dale Blaney and Donny Schatz each claimed a heat race.
