Now it was time for the "Big Boys" to come out. Kyle Petty had the pole in the Victory Junction Gang Camp car. On the outside pole was Ken Schrader in Mike Murphy's No. 26. Bobby Labonte drove the No. 7 of Matt Griffin. In Randy Dye's No. 43 Dodge car was Mike Skinner. Steve Park drove Charlie Merz's No. 7. We had to No. 14 cars, both owned by Mike Murphy, with Scott Riggs and John Andretti behind the wheel. Only one driver was not able to compete because of injury from the day's testing at Daytona, Dave Blaney. Instead the car owner went out for a few laps with the big boys who was Wade Lynn.
The crowd were on their feet giving the drivers a big wave. Petty jumped to the lead on the green with Schrader, Skinner, Riggs and Labonte in the top five. Skinner tries to get under Petty for the lead and gets loose taking out Riggs, Schrader, himself, and turning Labonte around. Labonte was the only car able to return to the field.
On the restart, it was Steve Park in the lead followed by Andretti, Petty, and Labonte. Although Petty tried more than once, he could not shake Park who held on and took the checkers over Petty, Labonte and Andretti. The winner was well versed with New Smyrna Speedway having competed for three years with the NASCAR Tour Type/SK Mods during the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. Fans were on their feet.
