Burlington, Iowa (May 9, 1982) – Native Californian Tim Green, driving the Bob Trostle sprinter out of Des Moines, flew to victory in the 20-lap main event during the fourth annual Dick Stoneking Memorial on Sunday at 34 Raceway.
The sprint car main started out on the wrong foot as Ned Fry of Burlington ran high coming out of turn four and hit the front straightaway wall hard, putting him out of action for the evening.
On the second restart, Green, starting inside of row two, dove to the inside and grabbed the lead in turn one. Tom Corbin of Carrollton, Mo., tucked himself behind Green and would follow him the remainder of the race.
Galen Martin of Fairfield, the trophy dash winner, finished third, defending champion Cliff Blundy of Galesburg, Ill., took fourth and Jim Hetrick of Gladstone, Ill., was scored in fifth.
