Roberts led from the outset aboard
his GPR/Kenda/Moose Racing 450

By lap two, Crawford was 30 sec-

As the 45-minute race wound down,
he poked his front tire past Roberts

and winning on the last lap.
(Below) Paul Krause spent most of
Saturday's Magnum (50 and over) race
chasing Fred Hatch but snuck past on
the final lap to steal the win.
