Jackson Wins on Last Lap Pass at Quad City Speedway

 

By: Anthony Sandoval

East Moline, IL. (June 15, 2014) – The Weber Auto Group Street Stocks and the U-Pull-A-Part/Cimco IMRA Midget Lites each ran a double header on Sunday night at the Quad City Speedway.

The first for each class were makeups from the June 1st rain out. Nobody was able to sweep their respective class, but that made for some thrilling action.

Chad Coyne took home the first-place trophy leading all 15 laps in the Street Stock makeup. However, his night ended early after the driveshaft on his No. 13 stock car busted in his heat qualifier for the second feature.

Rick Schriner took his No. 8 machine to the front early in the race in the dramatic second feature, but Steven Jackson slowly reeled him in. Before the caution flag waived with two laps to go, the two were door-to-door fighting for the lead. Schriner got a good restart on the green-white-checkered and was the leader at the white flag. He remained the leader until turn four. That was when Jackson was able to get the run off the bottom and sneak past Schriner for the win in a photo finish. Jackson and Jarett Franzen scored Top-5’s in both features.

“I was just hugging those tires,” said Jackson, referring to the tires along the inside of the track. “I was trying to find any spot on the track that I could find. (Schriner) tried to squeeze down there and take my line (in turn four on the final lap), but I had my nose in there already.”

Andy Baugh was close to getting the clean sweep in the midgets. He was leading the first feature until he and Mitchell Davis got mixed up. That allowed Austin Archdale to lead the final five laps and take the checkers in feature No. 1. Baugh recovered by scoring the win in the second race. He led all 15 laps.

Mike Murphy Jr. collected his third QC Speedway Eriksen Chevrolet-Buick IMCA Late Model feature win of 2014 on Sunday. He led the final 18 laps and claiming the lead from eventual third-place finisher Rob Toland. The key for Murphy was staying ahead of the No. 58 of Ray Guss Jr. Murf and Guss started in eighth and ninth.

“Things are going pretty good at this place,” said Murphy, who took soul possession of first place in the championship standings at QCS. “It’s kind of a contest to see who can get to the front first. I knew beating Ray to the front was really important. (Sunday night) the emphasis was getting there fast.”

Guss ran out of laps and settled for a second-place finish. Gary Webb and Mike Zemo Jr. rounded out the Top 5 in the late models.

Drama in Riverbend Pizza Place 4-cylinders: Brandon Dahl was officially announced as the winner after Brandt Cole refused to go through post race tech inspection. Cole claimed the ‘lead’ on lap three in the 12 lap feature after passing nine cars on the high side. Andy Loy finished second, Zach Dahl third and Eric Stogdell in fourth.

Toppert Services IMCA Modifieds: Eric Barnes led all 20 laps in a caution-free feature. Barnes started second in the feature, and made quick work of the polesitter, Jerame Mowery. The best racing the entire race was from second through fourth as the driver’s were two and three-wide at times. Mowery finished second, Todd Dykema finished third and Kevin Goben crossed the line fourth. Doug Crampton, after starting 10th, finished fifth.
