Tim Steele wins his 12th race in 21 starts to close his 1997 ARCA season
with an ultra-rare for racing winning record for the season.

Sadly Steele's great season ended on a bitter note. With the 1997 title,
his third in ARCA, already in the bag Steele was nearly killed in a
testing crash at Atlanta causing him to miss the last race of the season
and shattering his hopes of moving up full time to NASCAR's Cup series
for 1998.

In an odd twist, Steele was not the only Ford Racing driver with a
winning record for 1997. Tommy Kendall won 11 of 13 SCCA Trans-Am series
races that year. Ford also won the Manufacturers' Championship in the
Cup series making it a very good year for the Blue Oval Boys.

Also Tim Steele's last win on dirt, although minus the 2000 season he
did not run any ARCA events on dirt after this.

This was Steele's fifth win in a row but as noted above his injuries
prevented him from having a shot at getting a #6.

Ken Schrader finishes second driving Jim Coyle's iconic,
championship-winning #1 Riverside Auto Parts Chevrolet in the team's
final race. The late Lee Raymond won and Marvin Smoth both had prior
success driving the car.

Bill Weggy and Don Radebaugh were the commentators. Radebaugh served as
