The contentious 1976 Winnipeg to St. Paul race was led by Bob Przekwas until a nasty crash left him knocked out for a bit. When he awoke, he finished the race only to find out the Brian Nelson on his John Deere had beaten him by tenths of a second.
But Bob Przekwas, Loren Zutz, Ronnie Zutz, Burt Basset, Wes Pesek, and Mark Johnson filled in positions 2 through 8. Not bad in a race where it’s a miracle if you even finish!
