Dick Sutcliffe
Four drivers were injured in the 20-lap super modified finale and taken to the hospital.
James Bond of Edwardsville, Kan., was the first victim when his car went into the fence midway through the first turn, rolled four times and caught fire. Bond was taken to the hospital where he was treated for minor cuts and bruises.
On lap 13, Norm Wadle of Lincoln, Neb., lost his rear axle on the backstretch. Joe Saldana of Lincoln, Neb., ran over the axle, blew a tire, and spun out.
Lloyd Beckman of Lincoln, Neb., trying to avoid the Wadle/Saldana melee, ran into the fence and Jerry Blundy of Galesburg, Ill., also trying to avoid the scene, caught Beckman’s rear tire and flipped his sprinter.
Saldana, Beckman, and Blundy were all transported to the hospital where they were treated and released.
