Farley, Iowa (July 18, 1984) – Bob Lekander got a break to start on the front row, and he made the most of it, as he won the “Busch Bash 50” feature Wednesday night at Farley Speedway.
Lekander was slated to start in the second row, but veteran Darrell Dake had motor problems and dropped from the front row to the rear of the field, moving Lekander up a notch.
Lekander led from start to finish, closely followed during the event on a couple of occasions. First to challenge was Scott Braun of Cedar Falls, who dropped back when he got sideways during an attempt to pass Lekander and took Ken Walton with him. The Curt Martin of Independence applied pressure but was unable to get by the Burlington driver.
The win also gives Lekander the point lead, 99 -98, over Walton in the six-race “Busch Bash” series.
