BUSTI, N.Y. (Aug. 30) — Fourth-starting Rich Gardner of Waterford, Pa., took the lead on the 11th lap at Stateline Speedway and went on to win the inaugural Lloyd Moore Memorial at Stateline Speedway. Gardner earned $5,000 in outrunning polesitter David Scott of Garland, Pa., in the 30-lap feature.

Scott and fellow front-row starter Doug Eck of Corry, Pa., battled up front early before Gardner swept into the lead. While Eck faded, Scott stuck with Gardner as the frontrunners entered lapped traffic in the final 10 laps. While Gardner successfully maneuver through the traffic, Scott briefly lost the second spot to Greg Oakes before moving back into the runner-up spot. Oakes was third followed by Eck and Scott Gurdak in the event that honored the pioneer NASCAR racer who died in May at age 95.

Notes: John Lobb brought out a lap-three caution. ... Jason Dupont got crossed up after the first restart and collected Mike Bihler and Bruce Hordusky in the incident. ... Merle Terry spun in turn two to bring out a lap-four yellow flag. ... Bump Hedman spun on the eighth lap. ... Adam Ferri pulled his smoking machine out of the race on the 21st lap, avoiding the need for a caution. ... Lloyd Moore of Frewsburg, N.Y., ran 49 NASCAR events between 1949-55. He was a contemporary of NASCAR pioneers Lee Petty, Herb Thomas, Tim Flock and Buck Baker. His lone NASCAR victory came in 1950 at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway. ... Matt Urban won the Late Model King of the Hill action.
