WEST PLAINS MOTOR SPEEDWAY
11th Annual Show-Me 100
Friday, Saturday; May 23-24
By Larry Olson; Mountain Home, AR
WEST PLAINS MO. Steve Francis of Ashland, Kentucky notched the quickest lap at the 11th Annual Show-Me 100. Even though Francis was the quickest qualifier, he will have to pass three cars in his heat event to earn the pole for Saturday's $37,000 to win Show-Me 100 feature event. The top 24 cars from qualifying were inverted, putting Francis on the outside of the second row for his heat.
In the two events run on Friday, Francis picked up the Manufacturer's Dash for Rocket Chassis, leading all eight laps. Terry Phillips won the Petroff Towing Race of Champions, but edged Scott Bloomquist in a photo finish as the two ran the final ten laps bumper to bumper. Phillips led the entire race, but Bloomquist challenged on every lap.
