HANFORD, Calif. (Oct. 4) — Fourth-starting Chris Shannon of Merced, Calif., overtook polesitter Steve Drake of San Luis Obispo, Calif., on the 13th lap at Kings Speedway and went on to capture the unsanctioned Western Dirt Nationals. Shannon's $3,000 victory is the richest of his Dirt Late Model career.

Brad Pounds of Bakersfield, Calif., started and finished second while Rob Mayea of Bend, Ore., ran in the top five throughout the race and finished third. Richard Papenhausen of Chico, Calif., was fourth and eighth-starting Devin Crockett of Arroyo Grande, Calif., rounded out the top five. Drake fell back to fourth by the 15th lap and ended up eighth.
