QUINCY, ILL (June 2, 2013) – Michael Long, Rusty Griffaw, Abe Huls, Jeff DeLonjay and Michael Grossman all took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways on Sunday June 2 during Casey’s General Stores Night at the Races.

Ricky Frankel grabbed the lead of the thirty lap UMP Super Late Model main event and looked like he would be the first repeat feature winner in the division but Dewayne Kiefer battled to catch and then pass Frankel on the fourteenth lap. Two laps later it was Michael Long, who started in the fourth row, blasted past Kiefer to take over the top spot. Long then cruised away for the feature event win, his first this season. Kiefer settled for second followed by Mark Burgtorf in third, Clint Kirkham in fourth and Jared Schlipman in fifth. Mark Burgtorf set fast time with Frankel scoring the checkered flag in the Fast Heat with Jerry Lierly taking the heat race win.

Rusty Griffaw made his first visit to Quincy Raceways this season a memorable one as he led every lap of the twenty five lap Miller Lite UMP Modified main event. The battle for the second spot was a wild and wooly affair as Dave Wietholder, Jake Griffin, Steven DeLonjay and Kenny Schrader battled for the runnerup spot. Schader gained the advantage after Wietholder slipped up and spun into the infield on the twenty second lap. Jake Griffin held onto the third spot followed by Steven DeLonjay in fourth and Jim Black in fifth. DeLonjay set fast time with Wietholder taking the Fast Dash win with Chris Spaulding taking the checkered flag in his heat race.

The IMCA Stock Car Main event came down to a matter of inches at the checkered flag. Michael Larson had led the first twenty four circuits but Abe Huls was able to catch Larson on the final lap. Larson slipped only slightly coming off turn four giving Hulss the opportunity he need to slip past Larson at the checkered flag by a matter of inches. Larson settled for second followed by Terry Houston in third, Jake Powers in fourth and Brandon Savage in fifth. Houston and Savage were the heat race winners.

Jeff DeLonjay took his first ever Summy Tire and Auto Center IMCA Sport Mod feature event win in style by holding off a hard charging Tony Dunker at the checkered flag. Brandon Dale scored third followed by Tanner Klingele in fourth and Brad Holtmeyer in fifth. DeLonjay and Bobby Anders were the heat race winners.

Michael Grossman took the IMCA Sport Compact feature event win over Craig Bangert in second, Brandon Lambert in third, Bryce Baker in fourth and Jacob Tournear in fifth. Grossman and Lane VanZandt were the heat race winners.
