DATELINE: RADFORD LENGTH: Short
Although Radford was the LMSC division points leader going into the race, the win was his first of the season at the speedway. Radford, a racing veteran of 41 years, took the lead from Jeff Agnew on the 28th lap and won going away.
"I think the rest of the cars got a little loose as the race went on, while I stayed the same," he said. "My car stayed good."
Michael Ritch, from High Point, N.C., passed Agnew on the 46th lap and finished second. Agnew ended up third.
Ronnie Thomas, who had won the Late Model Stock Car feature the three previous weeks, stopped racing on the 16th lap because of an oil leak.
Grump Wills won for the fifth consecutive week in the 25-lap Pure Stock race. Christiansburg's Tommy Allie finished second.
Scott Brawley of Lenoir, N.C., easily won the 25-lap Modified Mini race. He took the lead on the first lap and won by six seconds over Christiansburg's Jimmy Hinckley.
When the dust cleared and the damaged cars were towed off the race track, Mark Akers was the winner of the 35-lap Limited Sportsman race. Akers took the lead for good on the third lap. The race took 45 minutes to complete, mainly because of a four-car pileup on the second lap. Charlie Miles finished second.
Salem's Jay McCray led the entire way and won the 25-lap Mini-Stock race for the second straight week. Galax's Robert Frost was second.
