What a charge by Duke Hoenshell. He wins after starting shotgun on the
field at the back of a giant grid on the twisty Riverside circuit.

Duke Hoenshell lost here at Riverside to Ron Esau earlier in the year
when the Tour's May stop on the SoCal road course saw him best Esau in a
last lap battle for the lead only to taste defeat when he blew an
engine, settling for second place. It had to be some very sweet
redemption to come back just five months later and not only seal the
deal with a big win but to best Esau this time to do it.

Rod Hetrick qualified 5th, he and 6th place starter crashed out off Turn
2 on the first lap. Hetrick reportedly had his arm in a splint after the
incident, however the other driver involved was OK.

Hoenshell's car started on pole but his pole time was disallowed due to
inspection failure, the frame did not meet regulations and they had to
add 150 lbs. lead. He took the lead on lap 36, then after a slow pit
stop took it back on lap 50 to win by 8.1 seconds.

Hoenshell winnings: $6,920
