I just couldn't do anything after that." Varnes was forced to settle for fourth, with Springsteen a short distance back. '1 was just right there, but I couldn't do nothing with them," Springsteen said. "1 thought I was going to catch (Varnes), but I gained a little but jJ.lSt couldn't do anything with him. I just kind of held my own. The leaders never really got that far away." Once again overcoming a poor start, The Moroney's H-D-supported Hacker climbed to a ·sixth-place finish. "I had ~ totally different line from everybody else," Hacker said. "Our lines would connect on the straightaway and I'd.have to back off, but it was awesome. There was a lot of moisture in the track as the night went on. It was fun to ride. It seems like when I'm on the front row, I'm a little off. Then when I'm fast I end up on the back row." King, who has been strong all year, appeared to have the Missouri oval figured out early in the day but wound up with a seventh-place finish. "1 didn't get too bad a start from the second row," King said. "Three was real rough. I was just bouncing all over. Early I was getting through there real good, but in the National I couldn't miss a hole. I just mellowed out, then went backwards." Total Control Racing teammates Atherton and Butler ended up battling over eighth with Atherton getting the nod." U') ~ ..... N .... } 30 I screwed up the first lap, "Atherton said. " I think I was first or second into tum one, but I went to the high line and it was too greasy. Then guys passed me coming off the comer, and I ran up top in three and four and a bunch of them went by me again." "We both got pinched off down in turns one and two," Butler said. "The high line, after they watered it, right off the bat didn't work that well. It was real slick, but I set my bike up to run up there because I was having trouble on the groove. About the tenth lap it started coming in and we started picking up the pace. If there had been one more lap, I think I could have got back by (Atherton). It was a lot of fun." Last year's winner Jones cruised home 10th. "I had a back row start, but I didn't Upcoming Rounds Round 12 - Oklahoma City, OK, July 29 Round 13 - Peoria, Il, Augus1 6 move up front much," Jones said. "At first I got by a couple of guys, but a couple got by me too. I think I started off the first la p in tenth and finished the race tenth. I wasn't pushing that hard. I was sore and I wasn't as sure of·the track. After I fell down, I dang sure didn't want to fall down again, so I was riding a little conservative." m Ststs FsJr $pMdlny SedsJIs, MIasourI R-.dts: July 22, 1995 (Round 11 of 24) _r.
