Memphis, Mo. (June 8, 1979) – Ramo Stott of Keokuk, Iowa, captured the late model feature Friday night at Scotland County Speedway.
Stott took the lead away from Johnny Babb of Ottumwa, Iowa, at the end of the second lap and was never headed. Babb held onto second place with three Keokuk drivers, Mike Benjamin, John Miller, and Gordy Blankenship, following.
A real duel in the back of the pack between Larry “PeeVine” Pipes and Bo Smith had the crowd on its feet. They battled wheel-to-wheel for fifth place for 20 laps before Pipes dropped out. Smith would follow him to the pits on lap 22.
The first heat was an all Keokuk with Stott, Miller, and Blankenship – 1,2,3. Babb won the second heat, edging out Bejamin and Pipes. Bo Smith won the third heat by a good-sized margin over Dave Marks of Ottumwa.
