Wolfgang and Heffner contacted in turn one, with Wolfgang getting upside down. Both were done, but uninjured. Cressman ran second on lap four, when his motor went up in smoke. Bakker led until two to go, when Rosenboom found his way around. A late restart gave Clifford the chance to grab the last transfer from Richardson.
B main two (started): 1. Brown (1) 2. L. Kennedy (2) 3. Humston (4) 4. Danley (3) / 5. Grosz (5) 6. Morgan (8) 7. T. Kennedy (6) 8. Riggins (7) 9. J. Ossenfort (12) 10. D. Ossenfort (10) 11. Dorr (9) 12. Wagner (11) 13. Dobesh (13) DNS - Gossel, Dover, Gullion
Brown led throughout, but Kennedy was never far behind. Dobesh retired with what appeared to be motor problems on lap three.
A main (started): 1. Alley (12) 2. Brown (14) 3. Chadd (1) 4. Zomer (5) 5. Nygaard (4) 6. Cornell (11) 7. Boston (2) 8. Lutz (6) 9. Droud Jr. (3) 10. Danley (20) 11. Rosenboom (13) 12.

Chadd took the early lead over Boston. Back in the pack, Alley was moving forward quickly and was fifth by the third lap. By lap nine, he had caught Chadd and took the lead. Setting a scorching pace, he diced through lapped traffic on the fast surface. Brown was in pursuit, but at a bit slower pace. By lap fifteen, he was second. The 25-lapper went non-stop, and Alley won by a 1/4 of a lap over Brown, who had another 1/4 of a lap on Chadd. Alley lapped all but the top five for the $1,500 win (paid in $2 bills).
