This may have been a combination race with ARCA

A. Arnold's second was his best finish in Grand National East competition.

Some notes here:
(1) Bob Senneker was driving the exact same car Tom Colella had won the
Heidelberg race in.
(2) Tiny missed qualifying after blowing an engine in practice, which is
why he started last.
(3) Tiny charged through the field, along the way using "questionable
tactics," better known as "hitting everything but the pace car."
(4) Tiny dumped Bruce Gould while they fought for the lead, during the
ensuing caution...
(5) Tiny passed A. Arnold, who had passed him while he was dumping
Gould, so Tiny was demoted the spot at the finish.
(6) Only 7 of the drivers in this race were running for GNE points: Tiny
Lund, Dean Dalton, Neil Castles, Ernie Shaw, Bobby Fleming, Jerry
Hufflin, and Wayne Andrews.

Senneker was a local racer who knew Berlin Raceway well. Just like his
car owner Colella did at Heidelberg earlier in the month this was
another time when the proverbial hometrack hero bested the visiting
talent. When dominant Bruce Gould got dumped by Lund it looks like
Senneker capitalized to grab the lead from both and bring home the trophy.
