Heat #1 saw fan favorite Cal Smith
lead for about 8 laps (over JJ Yeley, Richard Griffin, Tracy Hines, Rodney
Argo, & Tony Elliott) until passed by Yeley.
The wildest ride of the night goes
to Gary W. Howard, who was in a battle for the final transfer spot of Heat #3.
Howard and Bud Kaeding made contact, which sent the Ruth #25 into the turn 3/4
wall. Howard was ok, but done for the night.
Rookie Bobby Cody won his first
ever Sprint Car race in heat 4 and transferred to his first Main Events.
