The ASA series makes its final visit to the five-turn Tri-City Motor
Speedway, Mike Eddy's home track. This race was not televised (although
it the 1997 one was) but it was run with a day into night format.

The first third of this Trick Track race saw the hometown Eddy out front
holding off a challenge from Scott Hansen before later laps saw Gary St.
Amant, Mike Miller, and Jimmie Johnson come into contention. The race
came down to a Pontiac vs. Pontiac battle between Miller and Eddy with
the Polar Bear grabbing the lead briefly with 3 to go when Miller got
way loose out of turn 5. Miller stayed on it and passed Eddy back for
the win through turn 2 on the next lap after Eddy got way loose in turn 1.

Jeff Fultz lost all the front body work of his #30 due to accident
damage, leaving the engine completely exposed. Despite his stock car
looking more like a modified he still led the race, stayed on the lead
lap, and finished in the top-10.

Oklahoma racer Billy Turner pulled an upset in qualifying as he claimed
his only ASA pole, his only start better than 17th all season. Turner's
time up front was short as Eddy passed him before they reached the end
of the backstretch. He eventually crashed out early.

Despite all the damage to his car this was Jeff Fultz' lone top-10 in
ASA competition.

Mid-Michigan's own Chas Howe makes his ASA debut and qualifies a strong
sixth. The race didn't go as well and this would be the first of just
two ASA appearances for Howe as a driver. Today he's taken over the
family business and runs chassis manufacturer Howe Racing Enterprises.
