The Shiawassee Shores Pure Stocks would be next in line for their 20-lap show, with Hurley Adkins scheduled to lead the field down to the green. However, an early accident would send Adkins back to the pit area before the race could make it to lap one, handing starting responsibilities over to Ron Hart. Hart would lead the opening six laps before getting overtaken by fast qualifier Bob Elliot.
Shiawassee Shores Retirement Park Inc in Linden, Mi is sponsoring a division of race cars for their third year in a row! This season, the Pure Stock Division will have the backing of this beautiful retirement community. The Pure Stock class may also be called "Detroit Iron" or "Bombers" at other race tracks. These cars are definitely what short track racing was built around from the very beginning.
