”Wild Bill” Greco of New Haven won Saturday
nights 150-lap Memorial feature at the Riverside Park Speedway.
The attendance seems to increase every week as 6,131 fans looked
on as Greco breezed to the win.
Greco continued his win streak in the 150-lap event and raised his
total to four, having won three straight last summer. It was also
his third feature win of the present season.
The 1967 track champion started 16th in a field of 24,
was sixth by the 19th lap and second on the 44th.

With Ed Patnode of Westfield
leading, Greco saw his chance and grabbed the front spot on the 64th
lap.
As Patnode faded slightly, Buddy Krebs of South Windsor, the Riverside
point leader, charged from way back to take over second place on the
141st lap.
At the finish, it was Greco, Krebs Patnode, Lou Carangelo of Wolcott
and Dave Palczar of Collinsville, in that order. Thirteen cars were
still going at the flag with only Krebs and Patnode on the same lap as
Greco. |
