ARCA DRIVERS TOP NASCAR'S - GOULD STEALS SHOW
TOLEDO BLADE (July 29, 1973) -
It was billed as a
showdown between NASCAR Grand National East drivers and those from ARCA, but the
100-lap feature race at Toledo Speedway really belonged to just one man: Bruce
Gould. Oh, for a while, the expected confrontation did indeed occur, as
Gould, the Milford, Ohio newcomer on the ARCA Circuit, battled NASCAR veteran
Tiny Lund for the lead. But then on the 42 lap, Lund pulled off the track
with a blown engine and thereafter, that was Gould.
Driving a '71 Ford, Gould stuck to Lund like one pair of Siamese
twins, but when he got the lead, he began to put distance between himself and
his closest competitor Bobby Watson. At one point, Gould was nearly a
quarter mile ahead of Watson's 73 Camaro and then by his own admission he began
to coast. For Gould, his winning time was 33 minutes, 50 seconds, it was
his third victory of the year at the speedway.
