after starting eighth.
Bruce Garber finished fourth in the race after setting fast time and spinning

the race.
The 75-lap event was slowed by five cautions and was red flagged twice
for a five car pile-up on the first lap taking out dash and heat winner
Jason O’Neil and Wenatchee’s Chris Walters. The race was also halted
on lap 13 when Terry Hoyt suffered mechanical problems and impacted
the turn four dirt retaining wall.
Seventeen cars started the event that also awarded points for qualifying,
heat finishes, and passing points in the main. The winner of the point’s
battle won the Slobber Knocker title.

points in the main took third and O’Neil who won a heat race before getting
