West Salem, Wis. (October 4, 1977) – Larry Detjens of Wausau captured a big weekend of racing at the La Crosse Interstate Fairgrounds on Sunday by winning the 100-lap late model feature which was part of the eighth annual Oktoberfest.

The feature win coupled with his preliminary performances enabled Detjens to take home $1,945 of the event’s total purse of $19,193.

It was Detjen’s second straight Oktoberfest victory, making him the second two-time winner in the event’s history. Tom Reffner took the 1970 and 1975 titles.

The 100-lap main event on the 5/8-mile asphalt oval featured the top-10 finishers from each of the two 50-lap features held earlier in the day. The field was rounded out by the remaining 11 fastest qualifiers.

Polesitter Rich Somers of Stevens Point jumped out to the early lead. He held until lap 7 when Don James of Bloomington, Minn., spun and hit the wall in turn three.

Somers and his 1972 Mach I continued to lead until lap 19 when Mike Miller of Wisconsin Rapids edged ahead. At the same time Detjens took the number two spot away from Somers. Somers dropped one more spot a lap later as Jim Sauter of Necedah, who had started 21st, took third.

Sauter continued his drive towards the top when he powered past Detjens on lap 32 and then set out to catch Miller. Sauter moved to the outside of Miller on lap 33, but as he was making his bid a cut tire sent Sauter spinning into the wall, ending his bid for the title.

When the green flag returned, Detjens moved up to challenge Miller for the lead. Detjens got by Miller’s 1970 Mustang on lap 37, one lap before Dick Trickle blew a tire and backed into the first turn wall bringing out the caution flag.

With Detjens pacing the field, Steve Burgess of Fall Creek moved up on Miller. On lap 54, Burgess took the number two spot and set his sights on Detjens.

Lap 70 saw the third caution of the race when Larry Nipple spun in turn four, allowing Burgess to close in on Detjens.

After the restart, Detjens slowly began to pull away. But his efforts were negated when the yellow waved moments later when Bruce Sparrman blew a tire and scraped the first turn wall.

Again, Burgess pulled in right behind Detjens as the race was green-flagged and the two battled on virtually even terms throughout the final 11 circuits. Detjens, with more power, would pull away on the straightaways, only to have Burgess close the gap in the turns by using the inside groove.

On the final lap the two were even coming out of turn two, but as they raced down the backstretch Detjens pulled to a half-car-length lead.

As the two rounded the fourth turn and headed for the finish line, Detjens maintained his half-car-length lead and won by four feet at the checkered.

Following Detjens and Burgess were Miller, John Ziegler of Madison, and Marv Marzofka of Nekoosa.

1970 - Protest Rejected as Michigan Driver Wins Sandusky 200

Sandusky, Ohio (October 4, 1970) - Despite inclement weather and a long delay in the official announcement of the final victor after a protest was filed, because of a technicality, Ed Howe of Beaverton, Mich., was crowned the Sandusky 200 super late model champion at Sandusky Speedway.

Chilly temperatures held the anticipated and expected large turnout to a minimum, but the field of cars for the two-day event was one of the most outstanding ever assembled for such an event. A total of 49 top drivers from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania and even two entries from Canada, were present.

Joy Fair of Pontiac, Mich., a local favorite here for many years, started the program off on its right foot Saturday during qualifications. The husky driver broke the track record his first trip out and then stayed on the track to take his second qualification and he lowered the mark to 19.29 seconds. This assured Fair of the pole for the big race Sunday. The old mark was 19.69.

Fair held the lead for the first 80 laps of the main event before second fastest qualifier, Jim Bickerstaff of Mineral Ridge, Pa., took over when Fair developed mechanical difficulty. The Michigan pilot pulled into the pits for what appeared to be a tire change and fell on the back of the field within minutes.

However, on the 100th lap, an overheated radiator forced Fair to the pits for the day.

Meanwhile, Bickerstaff continued to increase his margin over Howe, but in the 182nd lap, in the final turn, Ed Hage of Detroit, Mich., and Jack Chambers of Northfield, momentarily lost their cars with Bickerstaff and Howe only feet behind.

Bickerstaff took the outside route and Howe nosed through on the inside to take the lead when the cars crossed the line.

From this point on, until the 198th lap, Howe and Bickerstaff staged a two-man show. Bumper to bumper, they flew around the half -mile oval until Bickerstaff was forced out of the event with a broken differential gear.

At this point, the Auburn and Grand Rapids point champion coasted home with his nearest competitor, John Anderson of Detroit, Mich., nearly a half a lap behind for victory.

After Howe took the "checkers", Anderson's owner filed a protest which was overruled after a lengthy discussion by officials. The protest concerned Howe's position early in the race when he was given the "black flag" during a caution lap.

The flagman gave Howe the black flag in an attempt to get him to take off the trunk lid after it became partially torn off during the race. Mechanics from another crew took the lid off the car and

Howe continued in the race where he was when he received the "flag," instead of falling onto the rear of the field. At the time, Howe was in fourth place.

Anderson finished the 100-mile event second with Jerry Spear of Battle Creek, Mich., third; Ron Fike of Parma, fourth; Bickerstaff, fifth; Tom Marks, Kalamazoo, Mich., sixth; Ray Bernard of Detroit, seventh; Roy Gemberling, Kent, eighth; Danny Bird, Dearborn Heights, Mich., ninth and Chambers 10th.

Fourteen of the 32 cars that started the "grind" finished the event.

Preliminary events Saturday went to Tony DeLillo, Willowick, and Carnes and Marks. Chuck Morris of Mogador took the 25-lap consy with Paul Wright of Massillon second. In the 25-lap feature; Fair finished well ahead of the pack with Bickerstaff second and Earl Ross of London, Ont., third.

Bud Middaugh of Massillon won Sunday's consy feature when he slipped by Bill Koczos of Parma in the final turn. Bernard was third.

1982 – Reluctant Entrant Wins Top Prize at Winchester

Rusty Wallace accepts his trophy for winning the Winchester 400 stock car classic. 

Winchester, Ind. (October 3, 1982) – Early accidents Sunday at Winchester Speedway reduced the 13th annual Winchester 400 stock car race to an endurance event won by Rusty Wallace of Fenton, Mo., a guy who did not even want to be here in the first place.

An overflow crowd of more than 6,000 took advantage of warm, dry weather and saw lots of early action.

“It’s all luck,” Wallace said of running on Winchester’s half-mile high banks and the 26-year-old made his won as he evaded countless accidents (the caution flag flew 13 times for 96 laps) to win his first-ever Winchester 400.

It was his first appearance in the October classic, and only his second race at Winchester.

“I ran the Memorial 200 in 1974,” he recalled. “There was a bad accident and a fire that year and I swore I’d never come back. It’s just so damn fast here.”

The only reason Wallace came back was that he couldn’t get motel reservations in Mobile, Ala., for an All-Pro stock car race on Sunday.

But Wallace showed up, gritted his teeth, stayed out of trouble, and collected $9,800 for his troubles.

Wallace finished the 400-lap chase three laps ahead of pole-sitter Bob Strait of Flossmoor, Ill., and nine laps ahead of third lace Alan Kulwicki of Milwaukee, Wis. Both Strait and Kulwicki had problems that took them out of contention.

Wallace had no mechanical issues, but he was on the verge of being out of contention until lap 325. At the time, he was a lap plus some 100 yards behind race leader Mike Eddy, who was threatening to win his second consecutive Winchester 400 in a runaway.

A car driven by John Wilson spun on the backstretch in front of Eddy, leaving nowhere for the Midland, Mich., driver to go. Eddy’s Camaro hit Wilson’s spinning car, rode up over the front end and threatened for a time to get upside down. It came upright and slid into the dirt bank on the inside of the backstretch. Eddy was unhurt.

From there, all Wallace had to do was keep him and his car out of trouble, which wasn’t difficult since the field was reduced to 14 cars at the halfway mark and only nine cars running at the finish.

Wallace, a sometimes NASCAR Winston cup competitor, said one of his concerns at Winchester was fatigue.

“I had a neck strap on my helmet and an arm strap and everything,” he said. “but I didn’t get tired. I ran at Bristol (Tennessee) in a 250-lap race and was ready to fall out of the car I was so tired.”

It wasn’t a race for front-runners. Dick Trickle, who took the lead from Bob Strait at the start, held the top spot for 50 laps before Eddy passed him. Soon after that, Trickle slowed and came to the pits with a broken throttle. By the time it was repaired, he was a dozen laps behind.

Five-time Winchester winner Bob Senneker, running second to Eddy, broke a piston on lap 103. Kulwicki moved up to second, but he slowed right before the halfway point. He spent several laps in the pits with handling and overheating issues but returned and finished a distant third.

Strait had to call for relief from Doug Klein just past the halfway mark. Strait, who had been ill all week with intestinal flu, returned to the car late after Klein had brought it up to second.

1976 - Balough speeds to State Fair win

Gary Balough accepts his trophy after winning at Syracuse. 

Syracuse, N.Y. (October 3, 1976) - Gary Balough, a fiery and sometimes controversial modified stock car driver, added to his new nice guy image by coming up with a convincing win in Sunday afternoon's 5th annual Syracuse 100 at the New York State Fairgrounds.

This 29-year-old professional racer from Ft. Lauderdale. Fla.. netted over $12,000 in prize and contingency awards from the record total payoff of over $70,000. Leading 74 of the 100 laps on the well-prepared Geddes oval earned Gary over $1,500 in lap money.

It was also a victory for the big money teams that were drawn to Syracuse by the huge purse and Balough's car, owned by New Jersey contractor, Anthony Ferraiuolo, had an estimated value of over $25,000. This included $13,500 for the Grant King chassis and $7,000 for the exotic timed injection system on the 496 cubic inch Chevy engine.

Bobby Gerhart of Lebanon, Penn., wound up second and picked up $6,000, while “Wily” Will Cagle used an early pit stop to good advantage and took home $4,000 for third. Twenty-year-old Jim Horton Jr. of Bridgewater, N.J., was fourth and Howie Cronce of Phillipsburg, N.J., was fifth.

Sunday's finale to the four-day, super speed week saw the fourth straight sunny afternoon and for the second year in a row, the 15,000-seat Fairgrounds grandstand was jammed to capacity. Several thousand more were in the infield and pit thousand more were in the infield and pit area.

The start saw polesitter Dick Tobias bring the 53-car field down in good order and the defending champion grabbed the early lead but was knocked out with drive-line problems on the seventh lap.

Balough's neat maroon and white Gremlin-bodied machine then took over, but the yellow was out on the 18th lap, when Wayne Reutimann lost a wheel and flipped in the fourth turn.

Cagle used this caution period to shoot into the pits for his mandatory stop for gas. After 20 laps, two-time Syracuse winner, Buzzie Reutimann had moved from 43rd to 11th, but fifteen circuits later, he lost a wheel and rapped the wall right where his brother Wayne flipped earlier. Liverpool's Peppy Peppicelli dropped out on the 25th lap after running in the top five in the Bev Mead Gremlin.

The final stages of the race saw Gerhart work his way up through the top five and pass Cagle for second with 23 laps left. Nine yellow flag periods for 38 laps kept the field bunched up, but nobody could challenge Balough as he breezed home a quarter lap ahead of Gerhart and Cagle.

The winner, a guaranteed starter from the Nazareth, Penn., Speedway covered the 100-mile distance in 1 hour and 22:44 minutes.

It was his 3rd win in just five starts with his new Ferraiuolo machine, which ran M&H tires.

Twenty-eight of the 53 starters were around at the finish and two protests against the winner were disallowed after final weighing and inspection.

1976 – Hansen Outruns the Best at Sunset

Curt Hansen accepts his trophy after winning the Cornhusker - Hawkeye Challenge at Sunset Speedway. O.J. Gay presents the checkers and track owner Craig Kelley presents the trophy to the winner. 

Omaha, Neb. (October 2, 1976) – Curt Hansen did again for the Hawkeye state. The Dike, Iowa, driver won his second consecutive $8,000 Cornhusker – Hawkeye Challenge race at Omaha’s Sunset Speedway on Saturday night, enabling the continuing dominance of Iowa drivers in claiming all five of the annual championships.

Hansen, in the 100-lap race, took the lead on the 35th circuit when previous race leader Joe Merryfield of Des Moines lost the rear end on his car. Hansen would take over the top spot and lead the last 65 laps unchallenged.

The victory for the 31-year-old, 13-year veteran netted him $1,525 including lap money and a large trophy.

Hansen’s triumph concludes an outstanding victory list for 1976 including the Doc Hunter Classic and Falstaff 100 in Cedar Rapids, Minnesota’s Chateau Invitational, and the Iowa-Minn.-Wis. Challenge in Morristown, Minn.

Finishing some distance behind was Tom Steuding of Altoona, Wis., and Em Fretheim of Decorah, Iowa.

Restoring some of Nebraska’s dignity was a surprise fourth-place finisher, 19-year-old Joe Kosiski of Omaha, turning in his most meaningful performance in his young 21-week racing career. Fifth place fell to George Barton of Ankeny, Iowa.

Don Hoffman of Des Moines, Iowa, who looked impressive in his heat win, took an early lead in the 100-lapper before he exited with mechanical issues only five laps in. Merryfield would inherit the lead and keep it until mechanical problems sidelined him.

A large driver turnout of 88 cars, the best in the Midwest, competed in eight qualifying races for the opportunity to start in the 24-car field.

Ed Sanger of Waterloo, Iowa, a four-track Iowa point champion, was home sick with a lung virus and unable to attend.

1972 – Shear Dominates Rockford National Short Track

Rockford, Ill. (October 1, 1972) – Joe Shear of South Beloit, Ill., had been ruling the roost at Rockford Speedway all season long and he wasn’t about to let the invasion of drivers from several states change anything for the National Short Track Championships this weekend.

Shear started things off on Saturday by setting fast time in qualifying, winning a special qualifying contest and scoring a victory in the 25-lap Champion of Champions race that evening.

On Sunday afternoon, before a crowd of more than 5,000 race fans, he thoroughly dominated the 200-lap feature leading all but 21 circuits.

Shear has been a track champion at the high-banked quarter mile for the last six years, but had never won the Nationals up to this point. This was the seventh running of the event and the first year the Falstaff Brewing Company sponsored it.

(On a side note - Even though Falstaff was the event sponsor, patrons had to quench their thirst with something else on Sunday for the 200-lapper. Rockford was, by law, a “dry town” on Sundays and could not serve alcohol.)

The 200-lap main event started 33 cars with the 100 fastest qualifiers starting up front in inverted order. This arrangement gave Shear a 10th starting spot. Dick Trickle, who didn’t compete in Saturday’s preliminaries, was guaranteed a spot in the field by promotor Hugh Deery because of his record 66 feature wins – he would start 33rd.

Danny Bellard of Beloit, Wis., would take the lead at the drop of starter Jack Heiman’s green flag with Don James of Bloomington, Minn., and Larry Detjens of Wausau, Wis., in tow. Shear and Trickle would start making their way through the field.

When the yellow came out on lap 7, Shear was running seventh and Trickle already in 21st. When the green returned, Shear and Trickle continued to march through the field. Shear would move into fourth on lap 13 and third place on lap 19.

James would lose second to Shear on lap 21 and Bellard became runner-up on circuit 22. Shear would start to widen his margin and encounter lapped traffic.

James would slip past Bellard for second on lap 31as the latter tarted to fade. Jim Sauter of Necedah, Wis., moved his 1972 Camaro into third on lap 40.

A red flag on lap 44 allowed cars to pit for fuel and Trickle, who was 11th at the time, came back out and tagged onto the rear of the pack instead of back into his position as he could under a late rule change decided by drivers prior to the race starting.

The first lap on the restart would see Shear, James, Sauter and Dave Watson of Beloit, Wis., in the first four places. Shear pulled away fom the pack was soon on Trickle’s rear bumper. But it would take him 35 circuits before he was able to put a lap on the purple and white #99 Mustang.

Shear lapped third place runner Don James on lap 112 and Watson would follow Shear past James, who obeyed the “move over” flag. Trickle caught James for fourth one lap later.

Shear would pit for fuel during a caution on lap 122 and just make it to the front of the pack when Heiman dropped the green again. Sauter would get by Watson for third. Positions among the leaders would not change for the remainder of the race.

Trickle would drop out three laps later with a broken axle.

Jim Sauter was about a half-lap behind Shear despite the fact the “move over” flag wasn’t used for his benefit as it was for Shear and Watson. He would spin on lap 161, go completely around and recover without losing his position.

Shear would cross the finish line with Sauter, Watson, James and Greg Arenson of Minneapolis rounding out the top five.

Shear would collect $1,500 for the victory plus $895 in lap money, $500 for winning the Champion of Champions race and $200 for setting fast time.

Before the 200, a 50-lap race was held for those who did not make the starting 33-car field. Steve Arndt of Janesville, Wis., survived a trunk-shortening crash with leader Jerry Peterson of Marseilles, Ill., to take the win.

John Ziegler of Madison, Wis., won “best appearing crew” and Larry Detjens won “best appearing car” for his gleaming 1972 Challenger.
