Radford grabbed the lead in his Chrysler LeBaron and held off challenges from Steve Lynch and Dudley Lawhorn.
There were two caution flags in the race. Dennis Gardner spun on the second lap and caused a four-car wreck. On lap 21, Lowe Smith tapped Lynch, sending both cars out of the race.
In other races:
The Pure Stock race ended in controversy after Jay Perry finished first, just ahead of Dean Cannaday, who hit Perry on the last lap. After the race, security was summoned to the infield to stem an altercation. Both drivers were placed on probation for four races, promoter Whitey Taylor said.
Cannaday blew an engine in practice, but changed engines and started in the rear. He came through the field to push Perry.
Tommy Dooley was third.
In the Street Stock division, Mike Elkin won his eighth race of the season. Mike Dudley was second and David Smith placed third.
