James Climer & Bobby Allison waged a race-long battle during one of Highland Rim Speedway's open competition features. Entering the first turn on the 10th lap, Allison tapped Climer and the #70 Falstaff Beer Chevelle ended up balanced on TOP of the wall. A crane spotted outside the track [at a construction site] enabled the track crew to lift the Chevelle off the wall without damaging anything. By the 25th lap James was leading again!
