By Dana Royer/34 Raceway
BURLINGTON, IA (May 31) Chris Webb, (IMCA Stock Cars), Brian Hetrick, (305
Sprints) and Alex Buffington ( Hobby Stocks) all pulled out wins in their
respective classes while, Lonnie Bailey (IMCA Late Models), and Scott Hogan
(IMCA Modifieds) both got repeat wins for the year at 34 Raceway on
Saturday, May 31. Race fans came out to see five classes of racing as they
competed for points and money on Deery Brothers Automotive Night.
Chris Webb, Biggsville, Illinois took the checkered flag in the 23 car
Mike¹s Auto Parts IMCA Stock Car feature for the first time this year. Webb
took the lead from Patrick Mincer on lap seven following a caution and never
looked back as he pulled away from the field. With Webb out in front the
battle for second would wage behind him between a number of cars. When the
fifteen laps were done it was Webb getting the win and John Oliver, Jr.
taking second. Cole Simmons, Jason Cook and Cale Samberg rounded out the top
five.
Another first time win this year went to Brian Hetrick in the Sebastian
Sandblasting 305 Sprint Feature. Thirteen cars started the 20 lap feature
with Jayson Ditsworth on the pole. Ditsworth took the early lead holding off
Hetrick as they moved through lapped traffic. With four laps to go, Hetrick
would finally be able to get by Ditsworth for the lead and pulled away to
take the checkered flag with a 4 1/2 second margin. Ditsworth would have to
settle for second followed by Donnie Steward, Manny Rockhold and Scott Boles
finishing out the top five.
Quincy, Illinois¹ Lonnie Bailey made it two in a row at 34 Raceway winning
the 21 car J & J Steel Ideal Ready Mix IMCA Late Model feature on Saturday
night. Bailey took the lead in the 25 lap race from Corey Richards on lap
ten following a caution. Bailey would then pull away from the field as Tom
Goble and Matt Strassheim would battle for second. With Bailey out in front,
eyes were on the battle for second as Boone McLaughlin joined the group.
With four laps to go, McLaughlin made a move around Goble and began to pull
away in the number two spot. Bailey went on to get his second win in two
weeks at 34 while McLaughlin finished second followed by Goble, Matt
Strassheim and Matt Ryan rounding out the top five.
After winning the Miller Lite IMCA Modified feature at 34 Raceway two weeks
ago, Scott Hogan of Vinton returned to the 3/8 mile and again went home a
winner. Hogan took the lead in the 23 car field from Adam Carson following a
caution on lap twelve. But not far behind were Dean McGee and Tyler Cale.
The third of three yellow flags came out on lap eighteen which set up a
green, white, checkered finish. Hogan held his spot with McGee, Cale and
Darin Thye close behind. He went on to take the checkered flag by a single
car length over McGee in an exciting finish. Cale, Thye and Carson then
finished out the top five.
In the final race of the evening it was Alex Buffington of Wapello getting
his first win this year in the Pepsi Hobby Stocks. Buffington took the lead
from Randy Wachter on lap three of the fifteen lap race and would pull away
from the field for the first eleven laps. When a red flag came out on lap
twelve, when Todd Lange flipped going off turn one, Buffington¹s lead was
cut as Luke McLaughlin would give chase. Buffington nearly lost his lead to
McLaughlin coming of our turn four on the fourteenth lap when he got a
little loose, but the young racer from Wapello recovered and held off
McLaughlin to get his first win this year.
