Biondo and Ditocco were in the semi-final against each other and it was a heads-up race, so they took a lot of time changing their setups for heads-up. So while Biondo and Ditocco were getting ready, the decision was made to run the other finals because there was a threat of rain (according to the radar, rain was right on top of the track). They ran all the other finals and Ditocco and Biondo were not ready. At that point, all that was left to run was the semi-finals and finals in Super Stock.
They ran the semis. Kay had a bye and Biondo beat Ditocco. There was nothing left to run other than the Super Stock final, so the two finalists were given the choice of returning immediately to the starting line to run the finals or finishing the race at a later date. The two drivers wanted the time to cool their cars and Biondo wanted to change his car back into a dial-in setup. So, they decided to run the final at another date.
