Lyle Platter of Boone, brother-in-law of track promoter Vern Carman,
didn’t use his “family ties” to win the super stock feature at Boone Speedway.
Boone, Iowa (June 21, 1969) – Lyle Platter of Boone captured the 25-lap super stock feature at Boone Speedway Saturday night, his first-ever feature win at the track.
Platter grabbed an early lead, but the red flag came out on lap 10, slowing traffic and paving the way for Gene Schattschneider of Algona, a four-time winner here, to close the gap. However, “Schatzy” would blow a clutch on lap 15 and Platter coasted from there.
Schattschneider set fast time, won the trophy dash, the handicap and also the consolation. Platter, Darwin Madden of Boone, and Ray Busch of Ogden were heat winners.
Results –
1. Lyle Platter, Boone
2. Del Stokke, Ames
3. Ray Busch, Odgen
4. Greg Davis, Boone
5. Arlo Dorenbush, Boone
6. Darwin Madden, Boone
7. Arnie Braland, Boone
