McDonnell, also on a Harley, fell
into the second spot, while McDowell came off ' in the fourth spot
behind Damron. Mayfield landed in
fifth, and the catch-up game began.

find a line around Key, McDowell
was riding hard on the move to get
to the front, He was able to get
around Damron, then started out
after McDonnell but couldn 't get
around him no matter what line he
tr ied. McDonnell kept changing
lines to block the way. With McDonne ll . working hard to ho ld back
McDowell, Key was ab le to extend
his lead and came in first at the
checkered £lag followed by McDonnell, McDowell, Da m ron and
