Griffin,
DeLonjay, Houston, Dunker Score Feature Wins at Quincy before Mother Nature Wins the Night
By Jack Walbring
QUINCY, IL (Aug 12, 2012) - Dustin Griffin, Steven DeLonjay, Terry
Houston and Tony Dunker all took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways
during John Wood Community College Truck Driver Training and Sullivan
Auctioneers Night at the Races before Mother Nature too her win for
the night during the Quincy Hobby Stock Feature Event. The nights
racing activities became second fiddle for the night as Quincy
Raceways honored PhotoBilly Haffer who tragically lost his life in an
auto accident in the early hours of Tuesday August 7. Billy was feted
with Missing Man four wide pace lap salutes, Prayers, Memorial
Stickers and Driver’s Helmet Collections. Billy will be sorely missed
by the racers, fans and Quincy Raceways Officials.
Dustin Griffin made it a point to back up his efforts to support
Billy’s family by taking a hard fought feature event win in the UMP
Super Late Model main event. Griffin earned the pole position with a win in the dash and
set led the opening circuit with Justin Reed taking over the top spot
on the second lap and holding
Griffin
off until the fourth circuit. Griffin then set sail and looked to be
pulling away from the field through the first half of the event but
Jason Perry started to reel in Griffin during the closing laps and
even pulled almost even with him with a only a few laps remaining. The
yellow flag waved coming to the white flag setting up a green white
checkered finish giving Perry one last shot at Griffin but it was not to be Perry’s night as Griffin pulled away when
the green flag resumed the race to take win by almost a full second.
Perry settled for the second spot followed by Jim Moon in third,
Michael Long in fourth and Justin Reed in fifth. Reed and Jake Griffin
were the heat race winners.
Michael Long looked good for the Miller Lite UMP Modified feature
event win as he was holding Steven DeLonjay at bay until disaster
struck on the twenty second lap when his engine erupted into flames
and smoke bringing night to an end. DeLonjay took advantage of Long’s
misfortune as on the restart he held Dave Wietholder off by a one
second margin as the checkered flag fell at the end of twenty five
laps. Shawn Deering scored the third spot followed by James Leffew in
fourth and Jared Schlipman in fifth. Long and Schlipman were the heat
race winners.
Terry Houston broke Abe Hul’s stranglehold on feature wins in the
IMCA Stock Car feature event.
Houston
took the lead on the second lap and pulled to a comfortable margin
until a lap twelve caution brought the field back together. Huls then
took advantage of the
Delaware
restart on grabbed the second spot from Michael Larsen and set off in
pursuit of Houston but Houston was having none of it and took the
checkered flag for his third feature win of the season. Huls settled
for second followed by Larsen in third, Darin Weisinger in fourth and
Jerry Jansen in fifth. Weisinger took the heat race win.
Tony Dunker came from his fourth row starting spot to claim the lead
in the Summy Tire and Auto Center IMCA SportMod main event after
battling with Bobby Anders on the eighth lap. Dunker then held Anders
off until the checkered flag fell with Anders in second, Brad
Holtmeyer in third, Joe Blivens in fourth and Tanner Klingele in
fifth. Dunker also scored the heat race win.
Mother Nature got everyone’s attention on lap six ot the Quincy Hobby
Stock main event as she started a downpour of some much needed rain.
Klingele was leading as the race was yellow flagged. The final nine
laps will be ran as the first event on the racing card on Sunday
August 19. The IMCA Sport Compact main event was lined up and ready to
race as well when the liquid began to fall on the Hobby Stock feature.
That race will also be ran on Sunday August 19 before the rest of the
regular scheduled events that day.
Sunday August 19 will be Kohl Wholsale Night at the races featuring
all the great racing action in all six divisions at Quincy Raceways
along with completing the Quincy Hobby Stock feature and the IMCA
Sport Compact feature event delayed for this past Sunday night. The
Pit Gates open at 4:30, Grandstands at 5, Driver’s Registration ends
