QUINCY, Ill. (Sept. 3) – Mark Burgtorf’s mastery of his hometown track continued Friday night as the IMCA Late Model ace led all 40 laps of the Deery Brothers Summer Series main event at Quincy Raceway.
Burgtorf’s green to checkers run at the front of the rescheduled Titan Wheel and Tire special paid $3,000. The tour victory was his career ninth at Quincy and 26th overall, second on the all-time Deery list to Jeff Aikey’s 54.
Point leader Ray Guss Jr. challenged briefly but settled for second. Denny Woodworth, Rob Toland and Mark Preston rounded out the top five.
Burgtorf drew the outside front row start and led through five cautions that slowed the first half of the race. Guss moved up from fifth starting and made his try just after midway, but that bid fell short and Burgtorf kept the door shut the rest of the way.
Toland qualified from his “B” feature and flew into the top four after being involved in one of the early yellows and restarting at the rear. T.J. Criss took a provisional and also capitalized on the 15 lap green flag session that ended the feature, advancing 13 positions.
Now four time Deery winner this season, Burgtorf had been tied with Curt Martin on the career wins list.
Guss won the $250 Sunoco bonus drawing. Friday’s show had been postponed from June because of rain.
Night two of a holiday weekend doubleheader takes the tour to Lee County Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 4. Pit gates and the grandstand both open at 5 p.m., hot laps are at 6:30 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m.
IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods are also on the program at Donnellson, along with local hobby stocks and four cylinder wild things.
The 24th annual series headlines the opening night IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals program at Boone Speedway on Labor Day Monday, Sept. 6 and concludes with the $10,000 to win Pepsi USA Nationals at 34 Raceway on Sept. 17-18.
