Smith, Harrison, Pierce, Gegg & Suhre take wins at Tri-City
Speedway!
PONTOON BEACH, IL (July 2, 2010) - A perfect day for racing brought out a
solid field of cars on this holiday weekend at Tri-City Speedway. Craig
Smith of Godfrey, Illinois claimed his third consecutive Super Late Model
main event win at he swept the action by winning his heat race, dash and the
feature event. Smith led all twenty-five laps, but the final lap nearly got
away from him. Mark Voigt made a last lap effort for the lead and drove in
hard in turns three and four to attempt a pass on Smith, but Voigt would
make contact with Smith, sending Voigt into a spin in turn four. Smith raced
to the finish line for what he thought was the checkered flag and the win,
but the caution light had come on for Voigt's spin. Smith actually pulled on
the infield and came to the scales for post race inspection, when track
officials motioned him back to the track to finish the final lap. Smith
would hang on for the win as he held off Bryan Collins last lap effort.
Collins would take second with Billy Laycock finishing third. Chad Zobrist
would take the fourth spot and Brian Wolfmeier rounded out the top five.
Mike Harrison would take the win in the Modified division. Harrison would
also led the entire distance but lapped traffic would give Ray Walsh the
opportunity to challenge Harrison for the win. With four laps remaining,
Harrison encountered heavy lapped traffic and Walsh closed the gap and
pulled along side Harrison for the lead as they tried to work through four
cars battling for position as they tried to lap them. Harrison would find
his way through the field and hang on for the win. Walsh would finish second
with Dean Hoffman taking third. JD Rottler would claim fourth and Tim
Hancock would finish fifth.
Bobby Pierce claimed his second UMP DIRTcar Pro Crate Late Model win of 2010
at Tri-City Speedway. Pierce would also lead the entire twenty-lap distance,
but would have to hold off two different challengers for the win. Scott
Weber was the first to apply the pressure to Pierce as the two raced hard
early on for the lead. Weber would find trouble on lap eleven as he would
get into the wall on the front stretch and couldn't get free as he scraped
down the wall with the right side of his machine the entire length of the
front stretch, finally coming to a stop in turn one. That would end Weber's
night and then it would be Bobby Dauderman applying the pressure in the
closing laps. Dauderman pulled along side Pierce for the lead as they took
the white flag and raced into turn one. Then as they excited turn two they
would make contact and Dauderman would have to get out of the throttle to
hold on and keep from spinning. That allowed Pierce to pull away going into
turns three and four and take the win. Dauderman would hold on to second
with Bobby Martintoni taking third. Casey Montague would finish fourth and
Brant Kehrer fifth.
Tommy Gegg would hold off Buddy Love and Danny Ems to claim the Street Stock
main event. Gegg used the low side to power his way to victory as Ems and
Love took turns trying the high side before settling back in behind Gegg on
the low side. Love would finish second with Ems third. Jimmy Bell would take
fourth and Terry McCann fifth.
Jordan Suhre won again in the Factory Stock division. Suhre would get the
lead on lap five from Earl Pryor and hold off the challenges of Willie Myers
and Trevor Isaak for the win. Myers would finish second with Isaak third.
Pryor would finish fourth and Justin Suhre fifth.
