Karhoff Takes Quincy Checkers with Last Lap Pass
By Jack Walbring
Mike Karhoff, Brandon Lennox, A.j. Tournear and Eddie Dieker all took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways Sunday night with two features events being won with last lap passes and two other being captured by first time winners this season.
Justin Reed took the early lead in the Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event and looked to be on his way to his first win of the 2004 season as he extended his advantage to a full straight by the middle stages of the 30 lapper. Mike Karhoff and Mark Burgtorf worked there way into the second and third places by the sixteenth lap and were looking to run down the young Reed. Karhoff and Burgtorf pulled within striking distance on the twenty eighth lap when Burgtorf suffered a flat tire bringing out the caution. Karhoff put the pressure on Reed for the remaining two laps and made a last ditch effort coming off turn four to the checkered flag pay off by taking the win by a nose over Reed in second. Ron Elbe, Matt Strassheim and Jamie Wilson rounded out the top five with Jerry Weisenberger and Joey Gower taking the heat race wins while Lonnie Bailey garnered the hardware in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash. Bailey now holds a 16 point advantage over Brent Slocum, 20 points over Jamie Wilson and 28 points over Burgtorf in his effort for his first Track Points Championship.
Brandon Lennox finally got the bad luck monkey of his back by leading the last nineteen circuits of the twenty lap Miller Lite A Modified feature event to take his first win of the season. Lennox took the lead from Danny Lake on the second lap and held off Henry Delonjay and Michael Long to end his streak of bad luck and broken parts. Delonjay settled for second with Long in third, Mike Karhoff in fourth and Terry Wilson in fifth. Long and Lake took the heat race wins. Michael Long and Henry Delonjay are now deadlocked in the chase to the points championship with Mark VanWinkle in third, thirty four makers behind.
AJ Tournear looked like a real modified veteran in capturing his first ever B-Modified feature event. Tournear drove his Chevy crate motored modified in front of the rest of the field for all twenty laps to take the win, by using a lot of experience in karts on slick tracks. Wyatt Lance tried in vain to gain ground on Tournear but had to settle for second place on the black slick surface. Jim Leffew gathered up third, Tony Dunker fourth and newcomer Robbie Reed in fifth. Leffew, Terry Houston and Lance took the heat race wins with Lance winning another P&S Auto and Truck Collision Repair Trophy Dash. The battle for the Track Points Championship is another barn burner with Tony Dunker in first by one point over Lance in second followed by Jim Leffew in third, two markers back.
Brandon Wear inherited the lead of the Bomber Feature event on the second lap when leaders, Todd Reichert and Jarod Richie made contact sending both to the rear of the field. Wear held the lead and fended off all challenges until the final lap when Fast Eddie Dieker make his charge coming off turn number 4 to take the win by inches over Wear. Wear was disqualified from his second place finish when he gave a very unsportsmanship like exhibition after the checkered flag fell. Adam Birck was awarded second with Brent Chapman in third, Jessie Buss in fourth and Jerry Jansen in fifth. Darren Cawthon, Buss and Birck took the heat race wins.
Racing action continues at Quincy Raceways on Sunday July 25 with Heetco Night at the Races. Gates open at 4, Hot Laps at 5:45 and Racing at 6:30pm.
