Chris Henson was 4-for4, in-
cluding a triple, and Chip Cash

ly defeat of the tournament and
blasted Bessemer City 17-0.

for the KM nine in the four-
inning contest. Plonk struck out
seven batters, including the first
six he faced.

300 at the Charlotte Motor
Speedway in October.
Doug Osteen of Woodruff,
S.C., the track point leader, will
be trying to regain his
supremacy in the late model
class, which has been stiffly
challenged in recent weeks.
Osteen leads the late model
division in wins with eight, but
has managed only one feature
win in the last nine races, with
that victory coming last Friday
night.
During that string of nine
races, Ernie Irvan of Concord,
N.C. has won four times, while
veterans Hayward Plyler of
Kannapolis, N.C. and Buck Sim-
mons of Baldwin, Ga. have
visited victory lane two times
each.
Young Irvan, a transplanted
Californian, led only one lap in
winning Saturday night, beating
Plyler to finish line by less than a
car length.
Other late model winners at
Concord this season have been
Gary Balough, Mike Duvall,
Wayne Sharpe, Freddie Smith
and Tim Gordon.
Doug Efird and Phil Nye will
each put winning streaks on the
line this weekend. Efird, a
15-race winner at Concord this
year, will be shooting for his
10th win in a row in the hobby
division. Nye, a nine-time win-
ner in ‘84, will be after his fourth
straight in the semi modified
class.
