This was a combination race between ARCA and the USAC Stock Car Series,
technically serving as the final USAC Stock Car Series race ever held on
a paved track. The ARCA racers dominated it as Dave Weltmeyer scored his
first career ARCA victory over Bill Venturini as they both lead home Bob
Dotter in a 1-2-3 finish for the Pontiac boys.

Kenny Kotowicz comes home fifth to claim his lone top-5 in ARCA action.
The top-7 were mostly ARCA racers (Bob Brevak ran all the combination
and another USAC race) with the late Dean Roper as the best of the USAC
racers in eighth with his compatriots Rick O'Brien and Butch Garner
following him home. Roper had run some ARCA superspeedway races earlier
in the season in addition to winning the combo race at Springfield.

ARCA didn't come back for another race at the Milwaukee Mile until 2005.
Kind of weird given its status as a mostly Midwestern series.

@5 - probably a combination of the Mile being affiliated with USAC (this
race was actually a USAC race, as was the 1982 race) and thus with the
end of USAC's stock car series the track needed to look for
alternatives; and ARCA being a relatively low status series and the
track thinking they could find more prestigious events.

Perhaps a bigger surprise is that the ASA didn't race there regularly,
since that series was much more "midwestern" than ARCA.

ASA actually did run here pretty regularly from 1978 to 2000...with a
final race in 2004.
