Dick Trickle
Rolla, Mo. (July 28, 1973) - Dick Trickle took the lead away from Terry Bivins on the 104th lap of the 150-lap Mid-America Stock Car Racing Association feature on Saturday night at Rolla Speedway.
Trickle went on to easily win his second consecutive MASCAR feature on the half-mile asphalt. The Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., speedster collected $1,650 of the $8,125 total purse.
Bivins, of Shawnee Mission, Kan., took the lead from Trickle, the fast qualifier and pole sitter, on the first turn of the first lap. He held that lead until Trickle made the winning pass on lap 104.
Trickle and Bivins continued to battle until the 149th circuit when Bivins and his Chevy suddenly slowed because mechanical problems. Joe Shear of South Beloit, Ill., finished second because of Bivin’s misfortune. Bivins would hold on to place third.
Trickle’s best time in qualifying was 17.32 seconds, far off his track record of 17.05 seconds.
David Goldsberry of Springfield, Fritz Wilson of Denver, Colo., Walt McWhorter of Wichita, Kan., were heat winners. Terry Brumley of Springfield was the consolation winner.
