by Wayne Rayuse
Maybe Nanno City veteran stack car driver Herb Shannon is in o rat .
Al least when of comes to the Central States Racing Association
Busch Series .
Shannon, the series point lender, placed second for he third
straight week in the series this time to Chicago s Tony low .
Ism, won his first lecture of the series and led all 30 lop . I . doing so .
Shannon ran second to no, the pole-sine,, far all but the first two lops .
No and Shannon had to survive four restarts .
Icro. who won the second Peoria Speedway Busch event last season
on his way to the season title in the point race which pays St0.000 .
doesn I think a repeat of that will be as easy "No sir :' no said, 'That
pvW who ran second (Shannon) hes got an awfully good car and he is
leading the point series . "
But Ina didn I hide his appreciation of Peoria Speedway and the
series .
"I really get a deep feeling far the farts hen In Peorb .- mid Inc .
They re molly great people and really seem to appreciate good racing .
At home (Santo F. Soeedwayl . I guess I I . too much and like Reggie
Jackson I get booed because I win too much .
'This is really a great spies for me because it gives me a chance to
come to another track during the week m I don" lose pelting to Min at
home on the weekend:'
Shannon, who had won four straight regular feaWre most of PeorIa
Speedway . was pleased with his finish although he couldn't win . "A coo .
pie of flmo, I thought I really cut into his lead he said . but when you
get aides Iike me you yet o IINIe conservative . I spun Mice in heat races
to I didn't want a third spin . You re never happy with wand but I'm not
stupid either, '
Following no and Shannon across the finish line were in order
Mechanicsburg Joe Rms . Dernilles Rick NuHod . and Georgetown s
Marvin Burton . Top finishers for other Peora Speedway regulars were
9th by Tom McWrs of Pontiac and IOM by Creve Coeur's Randy Mahririg .
Peorion Chuck Strube . making his tint start in Peoria this season, plac.
ed eighth .
Mahnng opened the evening with a six-lop trophy dash victory
which was followed by IGlap heal win by Peoria's Ed Bien, Bloominglon
s Eddie Shickel and Galesburg s Darrell McGee . Don Palmer of
East Pwria won the SD-lop semiAeature .
both into and Shannon got is mare following their 1 .2 finish, when
neither was able a tip the scales for the 1 .830-pound Busch weight
minimum . After checking the scale if was found to be broken and none
of the other on were weighed .
Tea not stupid enough to come downstate and try and race light,"
said Iuo . "I even added 40 pounds of weight to my ear fig the feature to
make up for the full that I would use . Figure five pollens for 50 lap,
that s where I decided on e0 pounds . A lgkt car wouldnt have had a
chance out more tonight as bumpy as it was. "
