by: Jack Walbring

QUINCY, IL (July 08) - Lonnie Bailey, Michael Long, Steve Carlin and Steven DeLonjay all took feature event wins during Miller Beer/Mississippi Belle Distributing Night at the Races on Sunday, July 9 at Quincy Raceways.

Jason Perry grabbed the lead of the thirty lap Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event at the drop of the green flag and looked to be well on his way to his first feature event win but it just was not to be. Perry held the top position through a couple of yellow flag periods but Lonnie Bailey was on a mission as the tenth place started had worked his way into second by the eleventh circuit. Bailey worked on getting past Perry for several laps then managed to get the job done on the eighteenth lap. Bailey then had his hands full holding off Jason Frankel over the last ten circuits. Bailey held on to take the win, his second of the season over Frankel in second, Mark Burgtorf in third, Perry in fourth and Terry Gallaher in fifth. Frankel, Ron Elbe and Dustin Neese were the heat race winners while Burgtorf took the win in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash Series. Burgtorf now holds a thirty four point margin over Bailey in point’s championship battle.

Michael Long continued to work his magic at Quincy Raceways by grabbing up his seventh points paying feature event win in the Miller Lite Modifieds but it was not as easy as leading from green to checkered. Long was caught up in an early lap multiple car incident sending him to the hot pits to change a tire. Long returned to the fray on the restart and began his quest to get to the front of the field. Tony Dunker had gotten into the lead on the eleventh lap but Long charged past to take the top spot away on the sixteenth circuit. Long then held Dunker at bay until the checkered flag fell. Dunker settled for second followed by Henry DeLonjay in third, Brandon Lennox in fourth and Joe Bliven in fifth. DeLonjay, Robbie Carter and Jared Schlipman all took heat race wins while Lennox scored the win in the Advance Trading Trophy Dash. Long now holds a fifteen point advantage over DeLonjay in the point’s battle.

Steve Carlin continued his dominance in the Hobby Stock division by taking his sixth feature event win of the season. Rookie Louis Goodwin lead the first sixteen laps but Carlin slipped past to take the lead on lap seventeen and held on for the rest of the twenty laps. Goodwin settled for second followed by Aaron Brocksieck in third, Travis Booher in fourth and Michael Lay in fifth. Goodwin and Bobby Anders were the heat race winners. Todd Reichert now holds a ten point margin over Carlin in the point’s battle.

Steven DeLonjay took the win in the Hornet feature event in spectacular fashion as he powered by Levi Long on the last corners going the checkered flag. DeLonjay took his third feature event win over Long in second, Jordan DeLonjay Rice in third, Bill Winkle in fourth and Rodney Prewitt in fifth. DeLonjay and Cody Houseweart were the heat race winners.
