SIGNS TROPHY DASH

with a win in the Hutchison Signs Trophy Dash for the Red Line
Graphics Late Models. Doug picks up the win for Robertson
Drywall, United Auto Sales and Circle City Express
Heat Winners - Rodney Sizemore, Jeff Shackelford, Steve Frost
Last week he went airborne but Saturday night Bill Fortner
was walking on air. The Red Line Graphics Late Model division
rookie started up front and was never headed after getting
around pole-sitter Bob Foster early in the 25-Lap Oval
feature. Last Saturday night was a wild ride for Fortner after
contact in the Figure-8 feature sent him skyward and into the
garage for some heavy wrenching. Fellow rookie Christopher
Green held off the pack for second with veteran George Sutton
followed by rookie Mark Tunny and former class champion Bobby
Douthitt for the top five. R.J. Norton, Jr. took fast time
with Doug Greig tops in the Hutchison Signs Trophy Dash. Heat
wins went to Rodney Sizemore, Jeff Shackelford and Steve
Frost.


Bill Fortner with his biggest
win of his racing career. Bill a former Roadrunner and Bomber
Figure 8 driver wins the Red Line Graphic Late Model Oval
Feature for J.D. Byrider and crew chief Maurice Petty. Bill
becomes the 10th different winner in 11 races.
