Pratt Scores Big IMCA Late Model Win at Quincy
By Jack Walbring
QUINCY,
ILL (August 15, 2010) - Keith Pratt, Steven DeLonjay, Terry Houston,
Jim Brown and Dustin Griffin all took feature event wins at Quincy
Raceways on Sunday, August 15 during Albertson Auto Body & Mark Twain
Casino Fan Appreciation Night.
Keith
Pratt came from his third row starting spot to take over the lead of
the thirty lap Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event on the sixth
lap and put on quite a show in dominating throughout the remaining
laps. Pratt’s victory margin was almost six seconds which is about a
third of a lap. The action was fast and furious for the rest of the
field as Joey Gower claimed the second spot with point’s leader, Denny
Woodworth in third, Jason Perry in fourth and Billy Genenbacher in
fifth. Justin Reed and Woodworth scored the heat race win while Gower
took the victory in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash Series.
Denny Woodworth strengthened his grasp on the points lead, now holding
an eight point advantage over Jason Perry in his quest for his first
ever Budweiser IMCA Late Model Track Championship.
There
is a quote from some very old and wise man saying “Long Live the King,
The King is Dead, which is just a little ironic in that Steven
DeLonjay finally put Michael Long’s Miller Lite UMP Modified Feature
Event win streak to an end Sunday night. DeLonjay did it in style by
sweeping all three events that he raced in, his heat race, the Advance
Trading Trophy Dash and the twenty five lap feature event. DeLonjay’s
win in the dash set him up to start the feature event on the pole with
Michael Long starting inside the third row. DeLonjay first held Jared
Schlipman at bay for the first five laps until Long swept into the
second spot on lap six. DeLonjay then held Long at bay as Long tried
every move he could muster to take over the lead. The crowd was
sensing something special was about to happen as the laps wound down
as the rose to their feet cheering on their favorite driver. DeLonjay
held off two final attempts by Long to get past over the last couple
of laps and proceeded to end Long’s win streak at eight. Jared
Schlipman claimed the third spot followed by Justin Reed in fourth and
Ryan Meyer in fifth. Reed and Donovan Lodge took the other two heat
race wins. Schlipman now holds a forty point advantage over DeLonjay
and Long as they are tied for the second place position.
Terry
Houston took advantage of Able Huls over heating engine take the
points lead in the Triple R Performance Engines IMCA Stock Car
division. Houston’s second feature win of the season thrust him into
the point’s lead by six over Huls. Andrew Griffin settled for the
second spot followed by Jerry Jansen, Jason Leapley and Wes Mayfield.
Kevin Tomlinson and Steve Steinkuhler took the heat race wins.
The
points chase in the Tim’s Machine Shop Hobby Stock division took a
wild turn of events as point’s leader, Steve Carlin had nothing but
problems throughout the twenty lap feature event. Veteran Hobby Stock
driver, Jim Brown scored his second feature win of the season by
holding off Nathan Anders for all twenty laps of the main event.
Nathan Anders settled for second followed by Bobby Anders in third,
Adam Scott in fourth and Steve Carlin in fifth. Carlin and Bobby
Anders are now tied with 360 points each with only two nights of
points racing remaining in the 2010 season. Brown and Nathan Anders
were the heat race winners.
The
UMP Pro Crate Late Models made their second appearance of the season
Sunday night and it was the same winner this time as the first. Dustin
Griffin started on the outside of the front row of the twenty five lap
feature event and held Gordy Gundaker at bay for every lap. Gundaker
settled for second followed by Evan Fink in third, Kyle Hammer in
fourth and Shawn Rayfield in fifth. Griffin and Ed Bauman were the
heat race winners.
Coming
up next at Quincy Raceways on Sunday, August 22 is Best Buy of Quincy
Night at the Races. Watch for a big announcement for the extension of
the 2010 race season at Quincy Raceways over the next few days. Lots
