Pratt Scores Big IMCA Late Model Win at Quincy
By Jack Walbring 

QUINCY, IL (August 15, 2010) - Keith Pratt, Steven DeLonjay, Terry Houston, Jim Brown and Dustin Griffin all took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways on Sunday, August 15 during Albertson Auto Body & Mark Twain Casino Fan Appreciation Night.

 Keith Pratt came from his third row starting spot to take over the lead of the thirty lap Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event on the sixth lap and put on quite a show in dominating throughout the remaining laps. Pratt’s victory margin was almost six seconds which is about a third of a lap. The action was fast and furious for the rest of the field as Joey Gower claimed the second spot with point’s leader, Denny Woodworth in third, Jason Perry in fourth and Billy Genenbacher in fifth. Justin Reed and Woodworth scored the heat race win while Gower took the victory in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash Series. Denny Woodworth strengthened his grasp on the points lead, now holding an eight point advantage over Jason Perry in his quest for his first ever Budweiser IMCA Late Model Track Championship.

 There is a quote from some very old and wise man saying “Long Live the King, The King is Dead, which is just a little ironic in that Steven DeLonjay finally put Michael Long’s Miller Lite UMP Modified Feature Event win streak to an end Sunday night. DeLonjay did it in style by sweeping all three events that he raced in, his heat race, the Advance Trading Trophy Dash and the twenty five lap feature event. DeLonjay’s win in the dash set him up to start the feature event on the pole with Michael Long starting inside the third row. DeLonjay first held Jared Schlipman at bay for the first five laps until Long swept into the second spot on lap six. DeLonjay then held Long at bay as Long tried every move he could muster to take over the lead. The crowd was sensing something special was about to happen as the laps wound down as the rose to their feet cheering on their favorite driver. DeLonjay held off two final attempts by Long to get past over the last couple of laps and proceeded to end Long’s win streak at eight. Jared Schlipman claimed the third spot followed by Justin Reed in fourth and Ryan Meyer in fifth. Reed and Donovan Lodge took the other two heat race wins. Schlipman now holds a forty point advantage over DeLonjay and Long as they are tied for the second place position.

 Terry Houston took advantage of Able Huls over heating engine take the points lead in the Triple R Performance Engines IMCA Stock Car division. Houston’s second feature win of the season thrust him into the point’s lead by six over Huls. Andrew Griffin settled for the second spot followed by Jerry Jansen, Jason Leapley and Wes Mayfield. Kevin Tomlinson and Steve Steinkuhler took the heat race wins.

 The points chase in the Tim’s Machine Shop Hobby Stock division took a wild turn of events as point’s leader, Steve Carlin had nothing but problems throughout the twenty lap feature event. Veteran Hobby Stock driver, Jim Brown scored his second feature win of the season by holding off Nathan Anders for all twenty laps of the main event. Nathan Anders settled for second followed by Bobby Anders in third, Adam Scott in fourth and Steve Carlin in fifth. Carlin and Bobby Anders are now tied with 360 points each with only two nights of points racing remaining in the 2010 season. Brown and Nathan Anders were the heat race winners.

 The UMP Pro Crate Late Models made their second appearance of the season Sunday night and it was the same winner this time as the first. Dustin Griffin started on the outside of the front row of the twenty five lap feature event and held Gordy Gundaker at bay for every lap. Gundaker settled for second followed by Evan Fink in third, Kyle Hammer in fourth and Shawn Rayfield in fifth. Griffin and Ed Bauman were the heat race winners.

 Coming up next at Quincy Raceways on Sunday, August 22 is Best Buy of Quincy Night at the Races. Watch for a big announcement for the extension of the 2010 race season at Quincy Raceways over the next few days. Lots of special events and different race formats are in store as the season will be extended until at least October 10.
