EAST MOLINE, Ill. (June 26) – Logan Veloz liked the track just the way it was.

The 18-year old point leader sped from the fifth starting position to the lead by lap six and won the 3rd Legacy Corporation IMCA SportMod Mike Mix Memorial Sunday evening at East Moline Speedway.

“I start at the back every week here and Davenport,” Veloz said in the winner’s circle. “It doesn’t matter. We run wherever we need to and get to the front.”

Erick Turner paced the first handful of laps. Veloz restarted third after a lap five caution before moving to the front past Rayce Mullen and Turner.

“The track is what it is, it’s East Moline,” Veloz added. “We moved to the top and the cautions helped give us a clean track ahead.”

Mullen, Chuck Fox, Jesse Bodin and Trey Grimm rounded out the top five.

Veloz became the third different Mike Mix Memorial winner in three events, sponsored by Joey Dorsey, Weekend Performance and Brandon Seitzel.

Jacob Waterman took his second straight IMCA Late Model 25-lap checkers. He opened a sizable lead after Joe Beal stayed close early. Beal, heat winner Matt Ryan, Dustin Schram and Mike Goben followed.

Mitch Morris jumped into a different car, but got the same result as a week ago. He beat Brandon Durbin in the 20-lap IMCA Modified finale. Travis Denning, B.J. Jackson and Brandt Cole were next. Denning tried to pass for the lead early and spun, drawing a caution and restarting at the tail. Jackson was piloting Denning’s other car.

Rob Henry took the 15-lap Street Stock feature. Joe Bonney, Jesse Owen, Peter O’Dell and A.J Franklin, in Frank Waters’ car, followed.

Mike Zemo ran down a quick Brandon Freeburg after a caution and won the 15-lap IMCA Mod Lites ender. R.J. Gonzales, Jon Padilla and Anthony Guss came next.

Dustin Forbes ripped around the high side and dominated the Sport Compacts 12 lapper in only his second night out in 2022. Cyle Hawkins, Thomas Adams, Dustin Porter and Dubuque visitor Henry Hess followed.

Jeff Walker piloted the Ronnie Weedon tribute car to the Nostalgic Stock Car Racing Club 12-lap finale.

Thirteen-year old Lucas Boulton topped the Kids Mods 12-lap feature.

A total of 95 cars were in the pits and the final checkered flag fell about 9:15 p.m.

The 2022 season continues this Sunday July 3 with the 3rd Greg Durbin Memorial for IMCA Modifieds. Plus, all other regular weekly classes will be in action.
