arou nd Hubbs. As the riders worked their way
into the back sira ightaway Rutten overloo k
H ub bs for second, but left the door open for
a repass a nd Casper j umped back into second.
With two laps remainmg Hubbs failed 10
come arou nd wilh the lead pack, and had
fallen back to fihh as Rawson now took over
third wit h Casper brea thi ng dow n his ·collar.
O n the last la p, Casper made a do·or·die pass
tha t netted him third.- Raw son wou nd up
sett ling for fourth with Hubbs ro undi ng out

everyone in his roost. Tom " nite was running
in the number two slo t bu t Kohler did n't wa nt
'0 let Olson get too far away an d quickly went
