Competitors in the six classes being contested for the Arizona Nationals will get one time trial beginning at 8 a.m. and go straight into eliminations from there. The run Friday will count for qualifying toward the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event and all cars entered into the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event will be eligible to make the run Friday morning. All competitors in all classes for the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series will only have one run allotted on Friday.

Stock and Super Stock eliminations for the Arizona Nationals will be random-paired for the first round and laddered second round based on furthest under the index runs during first-round eliminations. Competitors in Top Dragster and Super Street had already been paired and will remain with those pairing as eliminations are already underway.
