Another strong field of competitors were at the Cleveland Speedway for the Street division Mid Season Championship event. In a repeat of last weekends 30 lap Super Late Model feature Todd Morrow of Old Fort TN passed (again on the outside) a different, former Cleveland Speedway Track Champion (Rick Hixson 1994) for his fourth season victory in his "Shannon Trucking, Cleveland Speedway Driving School" Ford Mustang. In the Street MidSeason Championship race points leader Roy Nichols of Cleveland barely edged young Alex Nash in the 20 lap "Any Thing Goes Rumble". The Claimer Late Model division saw the triumphant return of Novice award competitor Justin Winters of Benton TN. The Pony Stock division is Jason Spraker dominated and that fact again didn't change as he extended his points lead with another win. And in the Hobby feature Jerry Coffman of Soddy Daisy TN took another win, this one coming in his second different ride of the 2002 season.

In Budweiser: King of Speed Qualifying Time Trials 23 racers signed in for battle with Hixson of Soddy Daisy TN topping Morrow's early fast lap with a 14:165 time. Third fast qualifier Dewayne Smith lined up against Hixsons' Ford Taurus for the first of two heats. Hixson blasted into the lead a won the heat over Smith, Bobby Mayse, John Owenby and Paul Tims. Morrow took command, with his Mustang, of the second heat from the pole over fourth fastest qualifier Chuck Tinker. Brad Allen finished third behind Tinker with Kevin Gibson and Chris Beavers rounding out the top five.
As the field took the green Hixson took command and seemed to be the one to halt Morrow recent streak. The race was marred by cautions for the first handful of circuits. Beavers and Gibson tangled down the front straight away battling for tenth. The yellow ended Beavers night drawing him to last place being the first car out. Morrow kept applying pressure, on the restarts as the scattered yellows flags flew overhead. Rookies Elgin Gray and P.D. Doss corralled Eddie Benefield for a lap 2 caution in turn three. Doss was able to salvage a top ten despite the incident. A pair of debut's ended early as the field got going towards the races halfway point. Eric Wilson making his SLM debut ended with a crash on the front straight away and Jake Lowry ended his top ten run with mechanical problems on lap sixteen. Morrow like last weekend began inching Hixson on the outside. Fans were also busy watching Lamar Scoggins work from his fifteenth starting position the outside passing car after car. It took plenty of patients but Morrow finally worked past Hixson on lap 23 just after Scoggins settled into fifth in front of Tinker. Smith watched the lead duo hanging in the wings for a mistake that didn't happen and would finish third with Bobby Mayse in fourth. Tinker, Tims, Ricky Holland, Brian Burke and Doss rounded out the top ten.

In the 20 lap Street MidSeason Championship feature Jeff King started on the pole after winning the Street heat. A three car pile-up in the opening laps of the feature jumbled the field as Raymond Lowery and Terry Graham all but blocked up the track in turn four. It was up to the rest of the field to overcome the obstacles in the caution free race and current points leader Roy Nichols did just that opening up an early straight away lead in his # 00 "Otto, Jimmy's Auto Repair" machine. Youngster Alex Nash plotted his course from seventh, avoided contact a came up about one lap shy of overtaking Nichols. Outside pole sitter Chad Holcomb held off front-man Jeff King for third with Jason Seaton finishing where he started in fifth. Chris Higgins, Herbert Chambers, Jimmy Shields, Daniel Hollifield, and
