Margin of victory - 4 carlengths

Attendance - 6,000

On the heels of a race at Winchester where everyone either had crash
damage or mechanical problems, Nashville sees a rare protest and a
controversial finish. Apparently it was the first protest in the series
since 1963. Bob Dotter had dominated the race from the opening jump, but
Bob Schacht blew past Dotter coming to get 2 to go and eased to the
unlikely win. Dotter claimed that Schacht had only won through the use
of NOS. As the results sheet would indicate, Schacht kept the win as
Dotter's protest held no ground. The full review of the race did prompt
one change, though. Scott Stovall had been shorted one lap by the
scoring, originally being placed 4th. Nashville regular Dorris Vaughn
was bumped from the podium in the process.

The feature race was originally scheduled for 100 laps, but a popup
storm washed out the 6-lap heat race and the promoters were able to get
the series to add those 6 laps to the feature race distance instead so
that the fans would get every lap of racing that they were promised.
