Quincy Raceways Crowns Champions on Final Night of 2011
By Jack Walbring 

QUINCY, IL (September 26, 2011) - Quincy Raceways put the crown on the 2011 season during the Tom Boland Ford/Selby Implement Company Season Championship races on Sunday September 25.

Joey Gower captured the Budweiser Late Model feature event in dominating fashion with Mark Burgtorf making a late race charge to make it close at the checkered flag. Denny Woodworth claimed the third spot with Keith Pratt in fourth and Jason Perry in fifth. Woodworth and Pratt were the heat race winners. Justin Reed took the Track Champion point’s title earlier in the year.

Steven DeLonjay edged Mark Burgtorf for the Season Championship feature event win in the Miller Lite UMP Modifieds by a mere .024 or a second to seal up his first ever Modified Track Point’s Championship. Burgtorf settled for second followed by Robbie Reed in third, Dave Wietholder in fourth and Jared Schlipman in fifth. Schlipman, Wietholder and Burgtorf were the heat race winners.

Terry Houston won the battle in the Triple R Performance Engines IMCA Stock Car Season Championship feature event but came up one point short of the Track Championship as Aaron Brocksieck claimed the overall title. Abe Huls scored second followed by Gabe Harrison, Jerry Jansen and Brocksieck in the feature event. Andrew Griffin and Houston were the heat race winners.

The IMCA Northern Sport Mod Season Championship feature event had stacked up to be a great race with Tony Dunker and Joe Bliven entered the night tied in point’s. Dunker’s chance at the first ever IMCA Northern Sport Mod Track Championship went up in smoke as he blew an engine on the first lap of the main event. Bliven then had the misfortune of a flat tire after a tangle on the restart. Bliven’s restarted at the tail of the field but Jim Gillenwater had the Season Championship feature event well in hand and took his second win of the season. Rick Barlow scored second followed by Bliven in third, John Oliver in fourth and Brandon Dale in fifth. Dunker took the lone heat race win. Bliven’s third place finish was enough to claim his first ever Track Point’s Championship in the first season for the IMCA Northern Sport Mods which will become a regular class at Quincy during the 2012 season.

Jake Powers scored his fourth feature event win of the year in the KRNQ Pepsi Inside Track Hobby Stock Season Championship feature event. Powers held off Bobby Anders to take the win followed by Jim Powell in third, Nathan Anders in fourth and Jeremy Buss in fifth. Powers and Buss were the heat race winners. Steve Carlin came home in sixth which was enough for him to claim his fifth Track Point’s Championship.

Kimberly Abbott scored her third straight Summy Tire and Auto Center Wild Things feature event in the Season Championship main. Abbott off Craig Bangert in second, Austin Uppinhouse in third, Nick Wilkerson in fourth and Seith Woodruff in fifth. Abbott and Uppinghouse were the heat race winners. Woodruff scored enough points to claim his first ever Track Point’s Championship.

The Kid Modz were an added attraction for the Season Championship night with Logan Mitchell taking the heat and feature win over Kayle Gibson in second and Joey Gibson in third.

The Tom Boland Ford & Selby Implement Company Season Championship night brings the 2011 race season at Quincy Raceways to a close. Look for some very exciting news about the 2012 season at Quincy Raceways in the near future as plans are laid out for the new season.
