Hemrich started in the back of the inverted field. On lap seven he spun putting him to the back again. He moved up to second with ten laps to go, challenging Ron Eaton for the lead, only to hit the wall and bend his tie rods. His front right camber was out but he held on to finish second.

Harold Hardesty, Medford, OR, again couldn't get a good finish after three visits to the track.
