Omaha, Neb.
(April 23, 1977) – Joe Kosiski of Omaha and Bob Shryock of Estherville, Iowa,
withstood the challenges of 50 top late models to split the twin 50-lap
features Saturday night at Sunset Speedway’s fifth annual $5,000 Spring
Invitational.
The cold
front which brought rain to delay the start of the races, stretched the program
until midnight, before Kosiski and Shyrock claimed their $500 victories.
Shryock, in
the first feature, took the lead midway through when Jack McDonald of Eldridge,
N.D., broke a rear axle. Bill Rice of Des Moines, who had led early in the
50-lapper, finished second ahead of multi-time Sunset point champion Bob
Kosiski of Omaha.
In the
second feature, Joe Kosiski won his second big race in two weeks (he won the
week before in Kansas City), by beating Kent Tucker of Aurora, Neb., to the
checkered flag.
Drivers from
Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota participated in an
annual event that has seen Ed Sanger of Waterloo, Iowa, Bob Kosiski, Bill
Martin of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Bob Saterdalen of Oronoco, Minn., win
previous titles.
