Lincoln, Ill. (July 10) – Jeremy Standridge worked around early leader Terry Babb and promptly pulled away to earn his first career Outlaw Wingless Sprint Car victory at the Lincoln Speedway. The third generation competitor started fourth and made the winning move near the mid-way point of the 20-lapper. Babb held on for second, while Tommy Rockwell and Bill Waite, Jr. crossed the line in third and fourth. Bret Tripplett stormed through the field after being involved in an early caution and battled to a fifth place finish.
Marty Hiser got the jump on Jeff Leka and surged to the lead in the UMP Modified 20-lapper. Hiser had company with both Leka and sixth starter Doug Hobbs in hot pursuit. The trio swapped the top spot before Hiser slowed with rear end trouble. Leka dove under Hobbs and set sail to pick up his third win of 2005. Hobbs equaled a career-best second, while Brian Lynn, Kelly Kovski, and Jason Fletcher followed across the line.
Larry Russell, Jr. and Terry Miller dueled at the front of the 15-lap Street Stock main. Russell, Jr. came out on top for the third time this season, besting Miller by a couple car lengths. Lance Johnson, Chris Tackett, and Kevin Skelton rounded out the top five.
