Notes: This was the first nationally televised event of a controversial 1990. As a result, several new trucks were not completed, and thus this event featured many trucks from the 1989 season. Among those were Steve Cain's Awesome Kong, Jesse Birgy's Play'n for Keeps, and Mike Wine's Outlaw. Several other trucks were new for this event. Those trucks were Ken Deppe's Whisky Business, which was formerly Bob Breen's Wild Hair, Marvin Smith's Wild Hair, which was previously called Stomper, and the biggest story of 1990, Andy Brass' Bigfoot. Several months later, Bigfoot would be banned from TNT racing to let the other trucks catch up, though Brass would eventually be crowned champion anyway. Several drivers, by the end of this event, would already concede the year to Brass, however it turn out to be a much closer race than expected, going down to the final weekend between Brass and Greg Holbrook, who would replace David Morris in Equalizer later in the year. Jon Breen's Mad Dog broke a transfer case in qualifying. Jesse Birgy's Play'n for Keeps was involved in an accident on the way to this event, and was running a broken truck the entire weekend. Morris would defeat Brass after Bigfoot went dead following the roller hill.
