Dubuque, Iowa (July 16, 1978) – Gary Crawford of Independence took his second mid-season championship in as many days at Dubuque Speedway on Sunday night.
Working up to and getting by fellow Independence driver Glen Martin on the 44th lap of the 50-lap event, Crawford crossed the finish line ahead of Martin and Joe Schaefer of Waterloo. Crawford had won the mid-season title at his hometown track of Independence the night before.
It was Duane Bentley of Fairbanks all the way in the sportsman title run. Chuck Martelle of Dubuque was a distant second with Joe Churchill of Peosta third.
Bill Murray of Hopkinton recovered from his rollover of a week ago to win the fun car mid-season title. Don Bahl of Asbury and Randy Frush of Jesup were second and third, respectively.
