Track Schedules

Mark Burgtorf picked up where he left off last season by taking the victory in the Budweiser IMCA J&J Steel Late Model division feature event. Burgtorf started the main event from the inside of row two and had the lead by turn three of the first lap. The fourteen time track champion then held off the challenges of Jason Perry until the pair entered lapped traffic midway through the thirty lapper. Burgtorf made good use of the back markers to increase his lead and pull away for the win. Keith Pratt also made good use of the traffic and managed to get by Perry on the last lap for the second spot. Perry settled for third followed by Denny Woodworth in fourth and Billy Genenbacher in fifth. Burgtorf and Pratt took the heat race wins with Clint Kirkham grabbing the win in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash.

The Miller Lite Modified main event got off to a rough start as three caution flags in the first two laps slowed the action but when the event finally went green for more than a lap, it got a lot better. David Wietholder managed to take the early lead and was not seriously challenged for the most event until the closing laps of the twenty five circuits. Michael Long, who won sixteen feature events last year worked his way through the field from his ninth row starting spot and by the twenty second lap Long was closing in to put pressure on Wietholder but a pair of caution flags on the twenty second and twenty third laps slowed the final laps of the event. Wietholder held Long at bay and even increased his lead at the checkered flag to take an impressive feature event win. Long settled for second followed by Danny Lake in third, Joe Hooper in fourth and Wyatt Lance in fifth. Robbie Reed, Wietholder and Brandon Lennox took the heat race wins while rookie modified driver, Steven DeLonjay took his first checkered flag in only his second race in his father’s Henry DeLonjay’s famous number 35.

The new for the evening was the premier of the much anticipated arrival of the Triple R Performance Engines IMCA Sunoco Stock Car division. Fourteen cars checked in to race at Quincy Raceways for the first time, this was also the first appearance of the IMCA sanctioned Stock Car class in the state of Illinois since the division raced at Jacksonville and Peoria during the 1987 season. Six veteran drivers in the division showed up to do battle with the rookie Quincy Raceways drivers and they put on quite a show as Jeff Mueller took home the feature event win a dominating performance. Muller would battle through the field from his fifth row starting spot and take the lead on the ninth lap from early leader Doug Huls. Mueller would then pull away from the field to take his first ever Quincy Raceways feature event win. Abe Huls would hold off a determined John Oliver Jr. for the second spot with Oliver settling for third over Chris Wibbell in fourth and Chris Webb in fifth. Oliver and Mueller both took heat race victories.

Steve Carlin took the win in the Tim’s Machine Shop Hobby Stock main event. Carlin grabbed the lead on the second lap and held off all challengers to take his first win of the season. Bobby Anders tried in vain to catch Carlin but had to settle for the second spot at the checkered flag over Chad Cannady in third, Aaron Brocksieck in fourth and James Leffew in fifth. Aaron Brocksieck took he lone heat race win.
