ARCA veteran Bob Strait makes his only start of the 1995 season, he was
focusing on the running in the new NASCAR SuperTruck/Craftsman Truck
Series at the time. Strait's one-off saw him qualify on the outside pole
and led the race but a crash put him on the sidelines by the halfway point.

Bob Schacht went for a wild ride on his left side in this one. He and
Andy Hillenburg got together and both ended up in the outside wall with
Schacht's red #75 getting up on its side as a result, going for a ride
on the wall briefly before sliding down the track still on its side. It
led to a pit road confrontation where Schacht's pit crew blocked
Hillenburg on pit road with one even attempting to throw a punch through
the driver's window.

Longtime ARCA racer Dill Whittymore finishes second to claim his best
career ARCA finish but that wasn't what people will remember about the
finish.

This race turned into a battle of ARCA icons as former champion Tim
Steele faced off against 1994's title runner-up and local favorite Frank
Kimmel. With six laps to go Steele got under Kimmel and took the lead
but he ran Kimmel into the outside wall in the process. The Papa John's
Pizza #02 Olds bumped the back of the HSDie #16 Ford and knocked its
rear bumper loose but Steele would hold on to take a victory that proved
very unpopular with the local fans who no doubt were disappointed that
Indiana's own Kimmel didn't get the win. Whittymore sneaked past Kimmel
to take second when Kimmel got the wall.

This was just Steele's fifth ARCA win and his first in more than a year.
It would be the start of a hot streak though for the Man of Steele as he
would win out the remainder of ARCA's 1995 season.

Bobby Bowsher's top-10 here was well timed. With Hillenburg's issues
here Bowsher's success allowed the reigning ARCA champion to tie Andy
for the points lead with just two races left in the season.

Interview with Bob Schacht talking about what happened between him and
Andy Hillenburg in the race here. Highly recommend it, worth the listen.
