Des Moines,
Iowa (July 3, 1975) – Ernie Derr of Keokuk, Iowa, driving a Dodge, took the
lead from Cedar Rapids, Iowa’s Darrell Dake on lap 111 and then led the rest of
the way Saturday night to win the Bulldog 150 for USAC late model stock cars at
the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Dake, who
started on the outside of the front row, passed early leader Gordon Blankenship
on the fourth lap was well on his way to victory before a shredded tire caused
him to make an unscheduled pit stop on lap 111. He eventually needed another
pit stop with nine laps to go and placed fifth.
Keokuk,
Iowa’s Ramo Stott, racing race organizer Jack Housby’s Plymouth, finished one
lap behind Derr for second place. Jack Bowsher of Springfield, Ohio, was third
followed by Don White, also of Keokuk.
USAC late
model stock car point leader Butch Hartman of South Zanesville, Ohio, was
running second when he was forced out at the 125-lap mark with rear-end
problems.
Blankenship
paced the 30 qualifiers with a time of 26.36 seconds over the half-mile dirt
oval. Dake won a 4-lap trophy dash and Bay Darnell of Deerfield, Ill., won the
15-lap semi-feature.
