Oregon, Wis. (June 19, 1984) – Wheeling his 1984 Thunderbird, Mark Martin was the winner of the ASA-ARTGO Challenge Series “Tuesdays Are Terrific 100” late model feature at the Capital Super Speedway on Tuesday night.
Martin, the 25-year-old Batesville, Ark., speedster, recorded his first Challenge Series victory of the current campaign, giving him a total of 12 career wins on the Midwestern stock car circuit.
Leading all 100 circuits around the high-banked, half-mile paved oval, Martin became the first driver to win an ARTGO-sanctioned event in a Ford-powered product.
Taking home $3,825 for his efforts, Martin picked up the $1,000 bounty which was placed on current points leader Dick Trickle.
Martin, who started on the outside of the front row of the 24-car field, defeated the night’s fastest qualifier Alan Kulwicki and Trickle, who started last in the 100-lapper and finished third.
Rounding out the top six were Frank Gawlinski, Joe Shear, and NASCAR superstar Darrell Waltrip., who drove his V6-powered Camaro.
A sellout crowd of 7,388 was on hand to watch the action.
