Boone, Iowa (September 11, 1971) – The season point champions at Boone also picked up season championship trophies Saturday night.
Denny Hovinga, Laurens, kept the lead throughout the super late model championship contest, as did Glenn Woodard, Des Moines, in the sportsman class.
Gene Schattschneider, Algona, jumped into the lead at the start of the super late model event, but coasted to a stop before the first lap was complete when his steering wheel came loose, putting him out of the race. Hovinga inherited the lead on the restart and never relinquished it.
In the season championship for sportsman cars, Woodard had to slide through some trouble to take the win. Glenn’s brother, Leonard, also of Des Moines, finished second in the feature.
Midway through the race, Norm Carlson, Ames, went into the infield and as he came back out, his front end folded up. Woodard, who was closing in to lap Carlson, went into a slide to avoid Carlson and bumped into him. However, he came out of it unscathed, kept going, thus avoiding being sent to the rear of the pack on the restart.
Bud Peterson, Algona, who has not been a regular at Boone this year, passed Ray Busch, Ogden, on the last lap to win the A-main. The entire race was close between Busch, Peterson, Schattschneider, and Dwight Engleen, Ogden.
Peterson, Engleen, and Darwin Madden, Boone, were heat winners.
Del Stokke, Ames, started in the sixth row of the B-main, worked his way through traffic, and went to win over Chuck Cox, Boone, and Earl Tice, Ames.
