Burgtorf Bags Quincy Raceways Deery Brothers
By Jack Walbring

QUINCY, IL (Sept 2) - Sunday evening September 2, looked like it would be a great night for racing at Quincy Raceways with the temperatures in the eighties and a pit area crowded with thirty five Sunoco Deery Brothers Summer Series Late Models and a good field of competitors in the other divisions during Rick’s Transit Repair Night at the Races.

Terry Neal took the lead at the drop of the green flag and led lap one but Mark Burgtorf was on a mission as he blasted past Neal at the start of lap two into the lead. Burgtorf then set sail to a comfortable lead as the battle for the second spot raged between Neal, Lonnie Bailey and then Jason Frankel. Burgtorf worked lapped traffic easily and worked his way through the field up to the eighth place runner on lap forty four when the only caution flag of the event came out for a tire on the track in turn number two. The yellow flag closed up the field with Jason Frankel in second, Terry Neal in third and Lonnie Bailey in fourth. Burgtorf and Frankel charged out from the pack on the restart with Burgtorf slowly opening up one second lead at the checkered flag on lap fifty. Frankel settled for second followed by Kevin Tomlinson in third, Justin Reed in fourth and Jeremy Grady in fifth. Frankel, Lonnie Bailey, Burgtorf and Gary Russell took the heat race wins with Darrel DeFrance and Jerry Weisenberger winning the B-Mains. Burgtorf’s win was his eighteenth in Deery Brothers wins tying him with Rob Toland for fourth on the all time win list.

Shawn Deering may have lead the first circuit of the twenty five lap Miller Lite Modified feature but after that it was all Robbie Reed as Reed dominated the rest of the way to the checkered flag. David Wietholder made a valiant effort to give Reed a challenge but Wietholder fell victim to mechanical problems on the eighteenth circuit and watched the final laps from the pits. Reed was unchallenged the rest of the way to the checkered flag opening up a three and a half second lead over Joe Bliven in second. Chris Spalding grabbed third followed by Joe Hooper in fourth and Steve Theivagt in fifth. Reed, Bliven and Frankie Wellman Jr. were the heat race winners.

Aaron Brocksieck drew the pole position for the Hobby Stock twenty lap main event and made good use of it as he led all the way to the checkered flag. Rich Wagy challenged Brocksieck for the top spot through the first eleven laps but Steve Carlin came through the field and got by Wagy for second on lap twelve. Carlin then put the pressure on Brocksieck but had to settle for second at the checkered flag followed by Wagy in third, Chris Rees in fourth and Jared Richie in fifth. Wagy and Rees were the heat race winners.

The Hornet division main event was scared with way to many problems as only three cars finished the lap limited event at eleven laps. Levi Long took the win over Joel Kerr and Richard VanderMaidden. Lew Aikman and Long were the heat race winners.

The 2007 racing season comes to an end this next Sunday, September 9 at Quincy Raceways. 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa and Quincy Raceways are hosting a two day Fast Track Challenge event on September 8 and 9 for the IMCA Late Models with the main event for the IMCA Late Models paying $800 to win and $125 to start.

All non Qualifiers will be paid $100 at both Quincy and Burlington for the IMCA Late Models. 34 Raceway will be offering the Challenge to Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks with Quincy also offering the challenge to the Miller Lite Modifieds.
