(UPI) — Stock car racing has developed into a science, with hundreds of thousands of dollars used to develop the finest racing machinery possible within the NASCARframework. But for Darrell Waltrip, Sunday's Warner W. Hodgdon 400 at Riverside International Raceway came downtoa problem eventually encountered by anyone who has ever been behind a steering wheel — flattire. Waltrip overcamethe tire blowout. however, and scored a narrowvictory over Dale Eamhardt in the $180,685 Grand National event. “The tire flat exploded,” explained the 34-year-old from Franklin, Tenn. “It went down so fast 1 was barely able to limp back to thepits, running on the rim with the tire wrapped around it.”” Waltripsaidhisrightfronttire let go just as the field had taken the green flag tollowing a three-carspinoutat the end of the back straightaway on the 2.52-mile_ eight-turn course. That mishap knocked Benny Parsonsoutofsecond place and brought out the yellow flag. “Something bounced up from the track and went right into mytire.” Waltrip said. “I thought I was through for the day.” Waltrip said the incident also knocked his car’s front end outof alignment, causing the car to handle poorly , for the rest of the race. Waltrip began the race on the pole with Earnhardt. the defending series champion, next to him in the second qualifying position. Waltrip cathe: the pole position with a qi g lap Friday of 114.419 mph. Richard Petty and Neil Bonnett, who also challenged Waltrip throughout the race, finished third and fourth while Ricky Rudd wasfifth. Briefs UPITelephoto A jubilant Marvin Hagler celebrates win over Vito Antuofermo. mT just want to be a good champion and bring ice back to the middleweightdivision. If Sugar Ray Leonard or Tommy Hearns want to moveup, I say ‘C’mon guys. I'm ready for a big payday,"” Haglersaid. Hagler continued his dominance of his class — he hasn'tlost in five years — by demolishing Vito Antuofermo in four, bloody rounds Saturday night at Boston Garden to successfully defendhis title for the second time. Antuofermo’s corner gave up before the start of the fifth round. their fighter bleeding profusely from wounds atthe hairline, the corner of his right eye and the left cheek. “It was a sweetvictory.I don't care how youdoit. That’s boxing. I wasn’t goingto let him get started this time,” Hagler said. Promoter Bob Arum. who has one more Hagler fightto stage, said the folks in San Remo cameup with an unexpected harvestof $10 to $12 million from the casino thieves. The town.on the Italian Riviera, has staged bouts before but noneof this dimension. One thing does appear certain: Hagler won't fight again in Boston. The Massachusetts Legislature has refused to lower the state tax on receipts fromfights, meaning the champion can earn moreat just about any othersite. Hagler's swift disposal of Antuofermo raised his record to 52-2-2 and in all likelihood ended the challenger’s career at 46-6-2. Antuofermo has done nothing (1-3) since the controversial draw with Hagler on Nov. 30, 1979. when the roles were reversed. Hagler has now avenged all four blemishes on his boxing record, the latest being the TKO over Antuofermo. Antuofermo, who morethanlived up to his reputation as a nearhemophiliac. started bleeding profusely just 30 seconds into the fight. But the cut, which sent blood streaming from his hairline overhis entire body, came as a result of his own head butt into Hagier. Haglercapitalized on the unexpected development, sending punishing jabs to the injured area whenever possible. He also opened two cuts of his own and was unscathed when the bout ended. “He never hit me, he never touched me,” claimed Antuofermo.‘I had more than enoughto go on. Referee Dave Pearl agreed, pointing out it was Antuofermo’s corner which stopped thefight. Pearl. who had Hagler ahead in all four rounds, said Antuofermo had enough stamina to continue.
