NOTE: Actual lanes not known. Winner listed first.
Seibenick had mechanical problems and Frantz apparently knew it, with a leisurely light and an easy win, even after spotting Siebenick an extra tenth on the tree. This is his second national event Wally in Competition Eliminator and his second of the event, earning him an elusive "double." He also won this weekend in Super Stock, earning his second Wally in that eliminator. His other Super Stock win came at the 2013 Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals and his first, in Competition Eliminator, came at the 1997 U.S. Nationals. He was the runner-up in Competition Eliminator here last year, went one win farther this year.
