EASTABOGA, Ala. (Sept. 22) — Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Tim Busha of Boaz, Ala., split victories in a special four-feature program at Talladega Short Track. Busha's earnings totaled $3,500 in the Keith Hays Tribute as TST racers honored the late racer.
A field of 38 Super Late Models showed up with Johnson setting fast time to earn the pole for the first of four features. Johnson led flag-to-flag in the first feature to pickup $1,500. Johnson drew an invert of four cars for the following feature, and he quickly got to the front and pulled off his second straight $1,500 victory.
The six-car inversion for the third feature put Busha on the front row and he capitalized with his own victory worth $1,500.
The fourth and final feature of the night paid $2,000 to the winner and the previous race winners faced off. Busha and Johnson ran door-to-door the last several laps with Busha nosing out Johnson at the checkered flag.
