From a correspondent: There were twelve drivers there. There were only four trucks. So the drivers decided to run three heat races with the winner of each advancing to the main race. They would draw a name from the second place finishers for the other truck in the main race. They also drew for trucks. Curtis Markham drew the best truck for his heat and started on the outside pole. Markham won the heat race and went on to the feature. Also in the main race were: Rich Bickle, Red Farmer (Gary St. Amant won the heat but gave up his seat to Red), and Kerry Earnhardt. He drew the worst truck for this and Red Farmer had the best truck. They only had three trucks by now so they put Kerry Earnhardt in a Late Model Stock Car. Kerry brought out the only caution of the night by spinning out as soon as he got on the track. Farmer won the race. The drivers there: Barry Bodine, Geoff Bodine, Mike Dillon, Kerry Earnhardt, David Green, Robert Pressley, Stevie Reeves, Randy Tolsma, Jerry Nadeau, and Gary St. Amant.(no Petty’s?)(12-5-98) (12-05-1998)
