Final "Little 500" Quals.

       Aaron Pierce of Muncie, Ind. paced final-day qualifiers for the 57th 
Payless/Remy International “Little 500” USAC Special Event Sprint Car race 
Friday as the 33-car field was filled and four cars were bumped. The 
500-lap classic will start at 8 pm Saturday night at the 1/4-mile paved 
Anderson (Ind.) Speedway.
  	Pierce will start 16th in the 33-car field, which will be paced by 
pole-winner Tom Fedewa of Dimondale, Mich. and fellow front-row starters 
Dave Steele of Tampa, Fla. and Tim Barber of San Francisco, Calif.
        In the field are three former winners and nine race rookies. Former 
winners include six-time defending champion Eric Gordon of Indianapolis, 
Ind., who is aiming at a record fifth consecutive victory; two-time 
champion Jeff Bloom of Bangor, Mich. and 1996 champ Steele.
        The race offers the largest purse (over $120,000) in American 
pavement sprint car racing and a three-abreast, 33-car start.
