Brad McEwan jumped into the early lead of the 25-lap Holley "A" Main, and held off Shryock for the first three laps before Shryock was able to slip by for the top spot. From there, Shryock sailed to the checkers with local favorite Kent Arment of Aberdeen, S.D., finishing second. McEwan hung on for third, with Tony Leiker of Gillette, Wyo., in fourth and Blooming Prairie, Minn's. Tommy Myer rounding out the top five finishers.

Mark Noble of Blooming Prairie, Minn., started 14th in the main event field and passed seven cars en route to earning the Olympic Fire Protection Hard Charger honors.
