NOTE: Actual lanes not known. Winner listed first.
This promised to be a good final, but it turned out to be a thrill show. Hidalgo got the wheels way up and when he landed, the car made a hard left turn. He brought it back, but the rear end went past center and he had correct again. That pointed the nose to the left again and the car slid sideways across the track, knocking the front corners off against the left wall. The car was not badly damaged and he drove it off the track.

Zaskowski was well clear by the time Hidalgo slid across the left lane and picked up his seventh national event Wally, sixth in eight Super Stock final rounds plus one in his only national event final round in Stock Eliminator.
