Yakima, Washington's own B.J. Tidrick fittingly scores the victory, his
only one on the Northwest Tour, as the series visits Yakima Speedway for
the final time. This was the penultimate race in series history and the
only one Tidrick ever led.

Tidrick won the big race from the pole, too. For most of the longer
races in the regional series, inverts were not used. In this case, the
field was set Daytona 500 style, with the front row being locked in on
time and the rest having to race in via twin 25 lap races. With such a
short field, though, nobody was sent home.

Also, drivers were not allowed to change tires in this race unless it
was under green flag conditions. An interesting rule for a 200 mile race
at a half-mile track, but Tidrick's Hoosiers held up well and only saw a
.3 second falloff from the beginning to the end of the race.

Pole winner - Tidrick

The qualifying race winners were Garrett Evans and Brandon Riehl.

Lex Johnson was in the #22, not the #89. Johnson crashed in the second
qualifying race and again in the main event.

The finish of this race looked much like the finish of the first
qualifier, only with Tidrick and Evans flipped for the main event. The
top two from the other qualifier, Bruce and Riehl, weren't really around
in the end of the feature. Evans was locked on Tidrick's bumper and even
hit him a couple times, but Tidrick never wiggled and Evans could never
complete the move and pass Tidrick for the win.

Yakima doesn't have a wall on the outside of most of the track besides
the frontstretch, and sure enough somebody went sailing off of turn 2 at
some point and wound up back behind the backstretch.

73 sponsor - Sandblasters Inc.

Fifth caution - 39 accident turn 3
Sixth caution - 81 slow on track
Seventh caution - 28 accident turn 4
Eighth caution - 12, 68 accident frontstretch
