Billy Torrence won over Mike Salinas after a time of 3.694 seconds and 329.50 mph and Don Schumacher Racing driver Antron Brown defeated Lee Callaway. Others advancing to the second round include Steve Torrence who won against Mitch King and Justin Ashley, after eliminating Leah Preutt in Round 1.

The next scheduled match-up is slated to be No. 6 qualifier Brittany Force against Doug Kalitta who qualified ninth.
