When Sunday rolled around and all the money was on the table, the racers prepared to battle it out for the prestigious honor of being the "Super Chevy Show Champion" in their respective classes. As the eliminations progressed and the championship was within sight, the weather from the west reached MIR with evening storms moving into the Millington area. As a result, no overall winner would be proclaimed due to rain shortened eliminations.
 
The Jr. Dragster saw Brianna Moore, Tyler Poindexter and Justin Poindexter having to split the event. R.T. Turbines D.O.T. Raymond Kendall, Michael Crass and Todd Berry split the event. The DriveDuracell.com Bracket 1 class still had 12 drivers remaining and Bracket 2 had 11 remaining with no declared a winner because of the rain shortened event. One of the most high powered classes of the day, the Pro Mod's presented by Neal Chance Racing Converters were able to complete their eliminations with Tim Savell, from Terry, Miss. taking the win over Jerry Prater, from Ripley, Tenn. by .046 seconds.
