Toledo Speedway

Don Friend of Detroit, a newcomer to competition at the Toledo Speedway, quickly adapted to the new ½ mile high banked oval, taking the 20-lap supermodified main event. In doing so, Friend stopped the 4-race win streak of current point leader Al Beale of Toledo. Friend, at the wheel of a Cadillac-powered modified sprint, started last in 14^th position, but moved quickly to the front to take the lead on lap 4. He went on to win by a healthy margin over Beale, Benny Rapp, Beanie Treen and Johnny Price. Rollie Beale led the 30 total cars in qualifying with a lap of 21.30 seconds. Rollie captured his heat and the Australian pursuit over his brother Al, but Al was not to be shut out as he won the 4-car dash.
