STAFFORD SPEEDWAY – Buffalo,
N.Y.’s Tom Druer made his premiere Stafford performance payoff
to make the starting field for the 8th Annual Spring
Sizzler. He took home $1,200 for winning the 50-lap
Non-Qualifiers Race.
A relative unknown at Stafford, Druer started the feature in
second position. Druer took over the lead from fellow N.Y.’er
Don Howe on lap 28. Howe had inherited the lead from earlier
lead Jim Shampine on lap 27.
Alan Whipple drew much of the fans’ attention as he made a
valiant charge from his 22nd starting spot. Whipple
had driven all night to participate in the day’s events after
racing in Ashboro, N.C. the night before. |
