Keith Pratt, Henry DeLonjay, Steve Carlin and Jordon DeLonjay Rice all took feature event wins during the Budweiser/Rinella Distributing/Insight Media Night at the Races on Sunday, May 20.
Keith Pratt picked up his first Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event win proving his new engine combination was a real winner. Pratt had suffered overheating problems through the early part of the season and upon examining his engine, he found that a cracked block was the culprit of his problems. Pratt took the lead away from Matt Bailey on the seventh lap and pulled to a small but comfortable lead over the next few laps. Brian Kenning tried in vain to catch Pratt after getting into the second spot on lap fourteen but was unable to mount the necessary charge to derail Pratt’s efforts to pick up his first Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event win. Kenning was forced to settle for the second spot followed closely by Mark Burgtorf in third, Billy Genenbacher in fourth and Matt Bailey in fifth. Burgtorf, Denny Woodworth and Pratt were the heat race winners while Burgtorf claimed the win in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash.
The new race format of only twenty cars starting the main event seems to have brought some sanity to the Miller Lite Modified division as only four caution flags slowed the twenty five lap main event. Dave Wietholder paced the field for the first eighteen circuits with Henry DeLonjay putting the pressure on Wietholder for the top spot from lap fourteen to eighteen. DeLonjay finally found the right groove to sneak past for the lead on the nineteenth lap. DeLonjay claimed his second consecutive feature event win by holding Michael Long off until the checkered flag. Long settled for the second spot followed by Wietholder in third, Joe Blivens in fourth and Tony Dunker in fifth. Les Harding, Dunker and Wietholder were the heat race winners with Robbie Reed scoring the win in the Advance Trading Tony Dunker Trophy Dash.
Bobby Anders took the early lead in the Hobby Stock main event but the red flag brought the action to a stop on the third lap as Anders slid over the banking coming off turn two and slammed into the back stretch retaining fence. Anders was transported to a local hospital complaining of back and neck pain. As this is being written, there has been no report as to the extent of his injuries. Matt Burgtorf took over the lead when the green flag flew after the caution and stayed in the lead until the fourteenth lap when Steve Carlin blasted past to take over the lead. Burgtorf tried in vain to retake the lead but had to settle second with Travis Booher in third, Todd Reichert in fourth and Sarah Woodhurst in fifth. Woodhurst, Aaron Brocksieck and Burgtorf took the heat race wins. It had been rumored all night that an engine protest was going to happen after the Hobby Stock feature. Steve Carlin’s engine was protested and was torn down to inspection and found to be fully legal. Carlin then received his first place check as well as the Protest money.
Jordan DeLonjay Rice took his first ever Hornet feature event win over cousin, Steven DeLonjay second. Levi Long scored third followed by Joe Gollaher in fourth and Zack Bruenger in fifth. Rice and Joe Gollaher were the heat race winners.
The Memorial Day weekend brings two evenings of action to the Quincy Raceways quarter mile oval as the Bank of Quincy brings the Kids Candy Dash to the Sunday night racing action featuring the Budweiser IMCA Late Model, Miller Lite Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Hornets. Pit Gates open at 4, driver registration ends at 5:30, hot laps at 5:45 and racing at 6:30 on Sunday Night. Memorial Day Monday features the Eve of Destruction with a $1000 to Win Demo Derby, The Great American Trailer Race, a Rollover Contest, School Bus Racing and a huge fireworks show at the end of the night. Pit Gates open at 3 with destruction starting at 6:30 on Monday’s Eve of Destruction. Demo Cars must be checked in and teched by no later than 6:00pm with heats, consolation and main events on the schedule.
