Brian Kenning, Mark VanWinkle, Wyatt Lance and Steve Carlin all took feature event wins Sunday night at Quincy Raceways.

Brian Kenning used his outside front row starting position to his advantage in the thirty lap Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event as he picked up his first ever Late Model feature event win. Kenning pulled out to as much as a full straight lead over Jerry Weisenberger in the second spot but Weisenberger slowly reeled in Kenning when the rookie driver had problems dealing with slower traffic. Mark Burgtorf climbed into the third spot on the twenty second lap and the two veterans set off in pursuit of the rookie. The pair ran down Kenning on the twenty fifth lap and challenged for the next couple of laps for the lead in a three way battle with Weisenberger maintaining second until contact in the third turn of the twenty seventh sent Weisenberger spinning to a stop bring out the events only yellow flag. Kenning maintained the lead over Burgtorf until the final two laps when Burgtorf challenged for the top spot. Kenning held a slight advantage at the line on the white flag lap but Burgtorf made a last ditch effort coming off of turn four going to the checkered flag. Kenning held on by a couple of feet at the line to take his first ever feature event win at Quincy. Burgtorf settled for the second spot with Brent Slocum in third, Joey Gower in fourth and Lonnie Bailey in fifth. Weisenberger and Burgtorf captured the heat race wins while Jamie Wilson took the win in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash Series. Lonnie Bailey now holds a slim two point advantage over Slocum with one race to go in the Budweiser IMCA Late Model Track Championship battle. The Season Championship for the Late Model division will be on Sunday, August 29.

Mark VanWinkle took his second feature win of the season in the Miller Lite A Modified division. VanWinkle started the twenty lap main event in the second row and took the lead from Brandon Lennox on the seventh circuit. Lennox tried in vain to retake the lead on several restarts but was unable to pass VanWinkle and had to settle for the second spot. Michael Long grabbed third with Henry Delonjay in fourth and Brandon Brown in fifth. Denlonjay and Lennox were the heat race winners with Lennox also laying claim to the P&S Auto and Truck Collision Repair Trophy Dash. Michael Long laid claim to the P&S Trophy Dash Series Points Title and now also holds a fourteen point lead in his quest for his first ever Track Points Title over Delonjay with three points races left in the 2004 season.

Wyatt Lance laid claim to his sixth feature win in fourteen points race nights in the B-Modified division. Lance came from his third row starting spot to take the lead on the sixth lap of the twenty lap main event. Lance then held off all challenges on several restarts to grab the win over Kelly Bartz in second, Joe Hooper in third, Robbie Reed in fourth and Jim Leffew in fifth. Hooper and Lance took the heat race wins. Tony Dunker took the P&S Auto and Truck Collision Repair Trophy Dash Series Championship for the B-Mods. Lance retook the lead in the chase to the Track Points Championship with his two race wins. Lance now leads Dunker by a slim 5 point margin with three points races remaining.

The bomber feature event was marred by numerous yellow flags and had to be time limited to sixteen laps but the battle for the feature event win was a great one. Steve Carlin nosed out Eddie Dieker for the win by a narrow two foot victory. Carlin led the final four circuits with Deiker challenging him for the top spot all the way to the checkered flag. Following Carlin and Dieker to the flag were Louis Miller in third, Jarrod Richie in fourth and Travis Booher in fifth. Miller, Adam Birck and Dieker were the heat race winners. Dieker now has a thirty one point lead over Birck in second and thirty four points over Carlin in third.
