Woodworth Solidifies Quincy Raceways Points Lead with Victory
By Jack Walbring
QUINCY,
IL (August 8) - Denny Woodworth, Michael Long, Steve Steinkuhler,
Steve Carlin and Logan Moody all took feature event wins at Quincy
Raceways on Sunday August 8, 2010 during Budweiser Rinella
Distributing and Noxin Trucking Night at the Races.
Denny
Woodworth used a lot of patience and a little luck to pick up his
third Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event win this season.
Woodworth started the A Main in the fifth row and steadily worked his
way to challenge Dustin Griffin for the top spot on the fifth teen
lap. Woodworth blasted past Griffin on the high side of turn two on
lap 16 and held off the challenges of Jason Perry over the closing
laps to cement the win. Perry settled for the second spot followed by
Keith Pratt in third, Griffin in fourth and Billy Genenbacher in
fifth. Darin Weisinger and Joey Gower were the heat race winners with
Woodworth claiming the win in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy
Dash. Woodworth’s win now gives him a 350 to 344 points lead in his
chase to his first Budweiser IMCA Late Model Track Championship.
Steven
DeLonjay looked like he was going to end Michael Longs domination of
the Miller Lite UMP Modified division Sunday night but a late race
caution allowed Long to close up the gap to the leaders with six laps
to go. Long disposed of second place running Rusty Griffaw on the
twentieth lap and set his sites on DeLonjay. Steven held off Long
until twenty third lap but put up a valiant fight as he refused to go
away quietly. DeLonjay kept up the pressure on Long until the
checkered flag fell on the twenty fifth lap, settling for second by
.096 of a second. Long’s eighth feature win of the season comes in his
eighth feature start. Third went to Griffaw followed by Justin Reed in
fourth and Jared Schlipman in fifth. Schlipman, David Wietholder and
DeLonjay were the heat race winners with DeLonjay scoring the
checkered flag in the Advance Trading Trophy Dash series. Jared
Schlipman now holds a 684 to 642 point advantage over Wietholder as
the season winds down.
Steve
Steinkuhler outlasted the rest of the Triple Performance Engines IMCA
Stock Car field as carnage on the track and overheating engines put
much of the field in trouble. Steinkuhler took the lead on the tenth
lap and held off the challenges of Terry Houston to the checkered flag
on the twentieth lap. Houston settled for second followed by Kevin
Tomlinson in third, Jerry Jansen in fourth and Aaron Brocksieck in
fifth. Mayfield and Andrew Griffin were heat race winners.
The
Tim’s Machine Shop Hobby Stock main event was a wild and wooly affair
that saw numerous caution flags, pit stops and penalties for rough
driving. Steve Carlin survived the carnage to take his first feature
win of the season. Carlin held off the challenges of Bobby Anders in a
terse battle over the closing laps with Anders settling for the second
spot at the checkered flag. Nathan Hayes scored third followed by
Brian Hoener in fourth and Jeremy Buss in fifth. Hoener and Justin
Bartz were the heat race winners. Carlin now holds a slim four point
margin over Anders in the point's battle.
The
Kid Moods came to town for their first appearance of the season and
the youngest had a very tough time of it on the track. Jake Griffin
crashed hard head on into the turn four wall and walked away but not
until he had regained his bearings. Logan Moody took the feature event
win easily outdistancing Braden Johnson after the field was reduced to
two cars when Logan Mitchell and Blake Vinson crashed into the back
stretch guard rail. Vinson took the heat race win.
One of
the most anticipated nights of the season, the Fan Appreciation Night
is up next on Sunday August 9, 2010. All Grandstand Tickets are $5
with Kids 10 and under getting in free. The Albertson Auto Body & Mark
Twain Casino Night at the Races will feature an added attraction as
