Gayman led the Whiskey Road Race from the 3/4 mile mark to secure the men’s title while Joan Kinley, newly moved to Walterboro, won the women’s 10K in 43 03 on a humid day. Kinley, 22, described the race as a speed workout and noted her goal to race strong for years. About 395 runners finished three races starting and ending at the H Odell Weeks Center on Whiskey Road.
After jubilant celebration, NASCAR inspectors found an illegal carburetor in Martin's Ford Thunderbird. He kept the win but paid a 40000 dollar fine and lost 46 championship points, with his title bid still tight as Earnhardt pressures him by 26 points in the $1 million race duel with eight races left on the 29 race schedule.
