LANCE, JR., LODGE, SIEGEL, FARRIS AND BUTTERFIELD WINNERS AT PEORIA SPEEDWAY

PEORIA, IL July 2, 2011) - Many of the usual suspects were in victory lane Saturday night at Peoria Speedway on a hot and steamy evening in Central Illinois. 4 of the 5 divisions saw repeat winners, with only Donovan Lodge in the UMP Modifieds the only first-time winner.

Steve Lance, Jr. started 3^rd, but made a move down the backstretch to pass pole-sitter John Gardner on the first lap and was never seriously challenged in the UMP Late Model division. A lap 18 caution had erased a nearly straightaway lead for Lance as Todd Bennett had given chase, but Bennett could never close the distance and had to settle for 2^nd. Mike Mullvain finished 3^rd, with Roger Rebholtz and 15^th-starting Charley Hess completing the top 5.

“We’ve been running real good lately”, Lance, Jr. said in victory lane. “We’ve been running these Rayburn cars a long time so we’ve got lots of laps here. The car is easy to drive. I really want to thank all the fans for coming out in this heat tonight. Whether you love or hate me, I really appreciate it. You guys are hardcore fans for sure!”.

Moline driver Donovan Lodge held off a race-long challenge from Gosport, IN ace Ryan Thomas for his first win of the season at the track in the UMP Modifieds. Lodge survived 4 caution periods and repeated attacks from Thomas for the win. Thomas finished 2^nd, followed by Ray Bollinger and Erik Bruce, who both experimented in the high groove. Tommy Duncan rounded out the top 5.

“It really helped to start up front of our heat and the feature tonight”, said Lodge. “There were a whole bunch of good cars here tonight, so I wanted to get to the bottom and hold my line. It feels great to get a win here.”

Jack Siegel dominated the Limited Late Model feature, leading all 15 laps over Rob Bauman, Sr., Brian Crebo, Bobby Cowell Sr., and CJ VanBeveran. Kenny Butterfield picked up his 5^th win of the season at the track (his 10^th overall) in the UMP Hornets.

On Independence weekend, there were fireworks early in the Street Stock division as Chuck Barnes, Jr. and Paula Harrison tangled in their heat race. Harrison spun out going into turn 3, and Barnes was sent to the rear for rough driving. Visibly unhappy with the call, Barnes climbed out of the car at the judges’ stand and voiced his displeasure to Speedway officials. At intermission, Barnes requested the microphone and went on the PA system to apologize for his actions and tirade, with Harrison at his side.

As for the Street Stock feature, John Farris went 3-wide going into turn 3 on lap 1 with Harrison and Wally Zander to take the lead and drove away for the win. Harrison, Barnes, Jr., Zander and Virgil Nussel rounded out the top 5.

Wednesday night, July 6, the UMP DirtCar Late Model “Summernationals” will return to Peoria Speedway. The 40 lap “Hell Tour” feature will pay $5,000 to-win. UMP Modifieds will race for $1,000 to-win and UMP Hornets will also be in action. Weekly UMP racing resumes at the track Saturday, July 9.
