Rochester,
Minn. (June 29, 1978) – Dick Sorenson of Rochester, took home $1,000 for
winning the 40-lap late model invitational at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds on
Thursday night.
On lap 33, Sorenson
was running behind Ed Sanger of Waterloo, Iowa, and Phil Prusak of Eau Claire,
Wis., when Sanger’s engine let go. This put Sanger out of competition while
Prusak ran into oil spewed from Sanger’s engine and lost his vision enough to
allow Sorenson to sneak by for the lead.
Sorenson
would run untouched the remainder of the way while Prusak held on to take
runner-up honors. Red Steffen of Eau Claire, Wis., finished third followed by
Jack Harder of St. Paul, Minn., and Tom Bartholomew of Waterloo, Iowa.

1. Dick Sorenson, Rochester, Minn.
