Kaley Gharst, Matt Bailey, Robbie Reed and Travis Booher all took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways during Budweiser Rinella Distributing Night at the Races.
Jim Moughan blasted into the lead of the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders main event with Mark Shirshekan challenging in the second spot at the drop of the green flag. Shirshekan slipped past Moughan on the third lap to take over the top spot but Moughan got back by Shirshekan to take the lead for the fifth circuit of the twenty five lapper. Moughan then proceeded to hold back the field but Kaley Gharst had his sights set on the front of the field. Gharst charged through the field from his fourth row starting spot to challenge for the lead on lap seventeen, Moughan maintained the top spot for two more circuits but Gharst took over the lead on lap nineteen but was sent over turn four after getting too high in the cushion on the twenty first lap. Gharst kept his foot planted firmly on the throttle blasting back onto the track only losing the lead back to Moughan. Moughan held back Gharst challenges for two more laps but the twenty third lap saw Gharst regaining the lead for good as he pulled to a two second lead at the checkered flag. Shirshekan rallied past Moughan on the final lap to grab the second spot followed by Moughan in third, Jerrod Hull in fourth and Ryan Jamison in fifth. Russ Hall, Mike Trent and Jimmy Davies were the heat race winners with Ryan Jamison claiming the Shake-Up Dash.
Nick Ingalls led the first three laps of the Budweiser IMCA Late Model main event but Matt Bailey had his sights set on the top spot and blasted into the lead on the fourth lap and held the lead all the way to the checkered flag. Bailey maintained the lead with a furious battle taking place within a few feet of his rear bumper. Justin Reed, Mark Burgtorf and Lonnie Bailey were trading the second through fourth spots through most of the last half on the thirty lap main event with Matt Bailey only a car length or less in the lead. Justin Reed settled for the second spot at the checkered flag followed by Lonnie Bailey in third, Mark Burgtorf in fourth and Denny Woodworth in fifth. Nick Ingalls and Matt Bailey claimed the heat race wins with Keith Pratt winning his first ever Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash. Lonnie Bailey now holds a slim three point lead in the points chase over Justin Reed.
Twenty Seven Miller Lite UMP Modifieds checked in to do battle in their twenty five lap main event. Ryan Meyer jumped into the lead at the green flag and held back Robbie Reed for the first thirteen laps but Reed took the lead on the fourteenth lap and never looked back to grab his second feature event win of the season. Donovan Lodge claimed second from his third row starting spot followed by Justin Reed in third, Vance Wilson in fourth and Tony Dunker in fifth. Shawn Deering, Vance Wilson and Justin Reed took the heat race win, Chad Parsons the B-Main win and the Advance Trading Trophy Dash win went to Vance Wilson. Justin Reed now holds a sixty two point margin over Steven DeLonjay in his quest for the track points championship battle.
Travis Booher made it two in a row in the Tim’s Machine Shop Hobby Stock division as held laid claim to the checkered flag in a wild and wooly time limited feature event. Wes Mayfield held steady to take second followed by Tanner Klingele in third, Jim Powell in fourth and Adam Scott in fifth. Bobby Anders and Tanner Klingele were the heat race winners. Steve Carlin now holds a one point lead over Jim Powell and four points over Wes Mayfield.
