Lonnie Bailey, Michael Long, Wyatt Lance and Troy Brierton all took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways on Sunday June 13 in a wild and wacky night of racing at the quarter mile bull ring in Quincy, Illinois.

The Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event was a wild one as early in the race the lead was not where you wanted to be. Ron Elbe jumped into the top spot and looked strong as the first 5 laps went without incident. But on the sixth circuit it went awry as Elbe spun between turn three and four and collected Gary Wilson bringing out the first caution flag. Elbe retired to the pits with Wilson tagging the tail of the field on the restart. Jerry Weisenberger then led the field after the restart for a couple of laps when a disaster struck when a birdcage broke sending weisenberger over the top of turn two bringing out another caution flag. Lonnie Bailey then brought the field to green flag with Mike Karhoff in hot pursuit. Bailey held off Karhoff and extended his lead to a comfortable margin until an incident in turn two on the twenty first lap. Dustin Neese lost control of his car during the incident and slid sideways onto the backstretch straightaway. A couple of cars made it past on the inside of Neese but Neese collected Gary Wilson with Wilson rolling his car violently several times down the back stretch straightaway. Wilson crawled from his mangled vehicle with assistance from safety crews but was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Bailey resumed his stay at the front of the field when action was restarted with Mike Karhoff nipping at his back bumper. Bailey maintained his lead and captured his second win of the season over Karhoff in second, Brent Slocum in third, Mark Burgtorf in fourth and Jamie Wilson in fifth. Weisenberger and Bailey took the heat race wins with Jamie Wilson scoring the checkered flag in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash.

Brandon Lennox looked like he might just get the bad luck monkey off his back in the Miller Lite A-Modified feature event as he battled with Michael Long over the first 10 laps of the feature event. Lennox held the advantage until Long slipped past on the eleventh lap. Long held onto the top spot for the next couple of laps as Lennox battled back to race side by side with Long. Lennox gave up the fight on the as a drive shaft broke sending Lennox to the infield and the caution flag out to pick up the drive shaft. Long was penalized two spot on the restart as officials determined that the pass for the lead was a bad slide job putting Mark VanWinkle into the top spot followed by Brandon Brown and Long. Brown had engine problems two laps later as he spread oil aroung the track bringing out yet another caution flag leaving Van Winkle and Long to battle to the green, white checkered flag restart. Dry dirt was spread around the track to soak up the oil but VanWinkle found out that there were still some slick areas in the third turn going for the checkered flag. Long took advantage of VanWinkles misfortune and took the win with VanWinkle in second, Terry Wilson in third, Hank Delonjay in fourth and Joe Bliven in fifth. VanWinkle and Long were the heat race winners.

Wyatt Lance had the bad fortune of losing an engine during hot laps for the B-Modifieds Sunday night but his luck by the end of the night turned around big time. Lance borrowed the car of Chuck Ancell and made it pay off as he won both feature and the P&S Auto and Truck Collision Repair Trophy Dash. Lance got the front of the pack on the nineth lap and held of Tony Dunker and then Bobby Cookson to take the feature event win. Cookson settled for second with Duker in third, Robby Carter in fourth and Terry Houston in fifth. Cookson and Dunker took the heat race wins.

Troy Brierton had been steadily improving his racing skills over the past couple of seasons and Sunday night was very special as the Versailes, Illinois driver grabbed the top spot at the drop of the green flag of the Bomber feature event and never looked back to pick up his first ever feature event win. Brierton held off the challenges of Adam Birck over the last four laps and claimed the checkered flag. Birck settled for second with Tom Damom, grabbing a career best third, Eddie Dieker got fourth and Steve Carlin claimed fifth. Damon, Gary Lewis, Birck and Dieker took the heat race wins while Darren Cawthon took the checkered flag in the consolation event.
