This race represents the first time that the Slim Jim All Pro Series cars will race at a distance of 100 laps. The four previous events were either 200 or 250 laps in length. 1997 REVIEW Taking charge from the pole position two-time former series champion Mike Cope led the first 69 laps of the 200-lap Pep Boys 200. Cope handed the lead to Ron Young on lap 70 when he chose to pit, then Carl Long took the point on lap 103, under similar circumstances. Cope regained the lead on lap 112 and appeared to be headed towards victory. On lap 151 Cope ran into the back of a lapped car and had to head to the pits for body damage repairs. This again handed the lead to Long, who had not pitted, and the rookie managed to stay out front for the victory despite not pitting for fuel or tires. Scot Walters, Young, Jeff Fultz and Bobby Gill rounded out the top five. Cope managed to stay on the lead lap and finished ninth.

RECORDS Qual. Record: Dick Anderson, Wildwood, Fla., Dodge, 15.532 secs., 123.539 mph, 6/26/95 Fastest Avg. Speed (100 laps): To be determined on June 5.
