Gerry Harrison accepts his trophy after winning the IMCA new model stock car feature at the Missouri State Fairgrounds. Flagman Al Hall and track announcer Jimmy Glenn join Harrison in victory lane.
Sedalia, Mo.
(August 25, 1973) – Gerry Harrison of Topeka, Kan., got sweet revenge and $350
for his win Saturday night in the IMCA new model stock car race at the Missouri
State Fairgrounds.
The new
models moved from the mile to the half mile for the evening program, running
three 10-lap heats and the 25-lap feature.
Harrison
brought his 1972 Chevrolet home a half-lap ahead of Mike Derr of Keokuk, Iowa,
the winner of the 101-mile Missouri International in the afternoon.
Harrison led
all the way for the win, a repeat of his 1972 finish in the same race. He and
Derr, along with IMCA point leader Gordy Blankenship of Keokuk, Iowa, qualified
for the 25-lapper through the 10-lap consolation. Derr won that event with
Harrison second and Blankenship third.
Heat winners
were Ray Blohm of Arlington, Tex., Shorty Acker of Windsor, Mo., and Mike
Wallis of Gardner, Kan.
