Quincy, IL (April 18, 2010) - The Quincy Raceways hosted there second event of the 2010 racing season, with a beautiful night for racing action.

The first feature of the night was the 20 lap IMCA Stock Cars. Dave Warth, who was suppose to start on the pole, scratched from the event, giving Steve Steinkuhler and Aaron Brocksieck the front row. Brocksieck won the battle of the 04's to lead lap 1, but Steinkuhler would slip under him to grab the top spot on lap 2. The one and only yellow would come out on lap 11, when Kevin Tomlinson, who was running third, slowed to a stop in turn four. On the restart, Steinkuhler jumped back out into the lead, but now had to work to hold off Jeff Mueller, who started 6th. Mueller would try to get under Steinkuhler several times over the next 8 laps, but wasn't able to quite clear him going into the corners. Steinkuhler opened the bottom for Mueller going into turn three on the final lap, as the two came off four side-by-side. Steinkuhler would edge Mueller at the line to claim the win. Brocksieck held on for third, Terry Houston came from 8th to finish in fourth, with Andrew Griffin coming home in fifth.
Up next was the 25 lap UMP Modified feature, with Michael Long and David Wietholder leading the field to the drop of the green flag. Long would grab the lead on lap one, with Wietholder working to hold off Justin Reed for second. A caution on lap 3 for a spin in turn four by James Leffew, would slow the event down. On the restart, Jerry Lierly would spin in turn two to bring the caution back out. Long moved out into the lead on the restart, with Wietholder, Justin Reed and Robbie Reed battling for second. Long would pull away from the field over the final 22 laps, which were caution free, to claim his third win of the weekend.

Justin Reed came from 8th to finish in second, Keith Pratt was third, Matt Bailey came home fourth, with Genenbacher holding on for fifth.
The final feature of the night was the 15 lap Hobby Stocks, with Nathan Hayes and Adam Scott on the front row. Hayes would take advantage of his front row start to grab the lead on lap 1, but Scott would slip by on lap 2 to take over the top spot. While Scott and Hayes battled for the lead, Bobby Anders, who started 10th, was quickly moving through the field. Scott held the lead until lap 4, when Anders moved past to take over the top spot.

Steve Carlin came from 9th to finish in second, Scott was held on for third, Travis Booher started 11th and was moved up to fourth, with Jake Powers credited with fifth.
Notes from Quincy: Abe Huls lost a drive shaft in hot laps and had to scratch from the heat race, forcing him to the back of the Stock Car feature. He would pass 5 cars to take home a 6th place finish......Michael Long made a clean sweep of the weekend in the Modified, as he won Friday at Pontoon Beach, IL, then Saturday at Donnellson, IA and Sunday at Quincy, his second in a row at the track....Vance Wilson passed 7 cars from his 13th starting spot to come home in 6th......Wilson then jumped into the Late Model and started 14th. He would pass 6 cars to come home in 8th....Justin Jennings made his first start of his rookie career in a IMCA Late Models. He was the 2009 asphalt Late Model rookie at the Hawkeye Downs track in Cedar Rapids, IA. Jennings started the event in 7th and stayed out of troubles to take home a 10th place finish....Nick Ingalls, Lonnie Bailey and Terry Gallaher all scratched from the feature after heavy contact on the final lap of the heat. Gallaher would come off of four to wide and clipped the front stretch wall. Ingalls and Bailey had no where to go and piled into Gallaher. Everybody was ok, but heavy damage was done to all 3 cars to force them to scratch for the rest of the evening.....Tanner Klingele and Jim Powell would cross the finish line in 4th and 5th in the Hobby Stock feature. But after finding some "creative engineering" in the exhaust system, both drivers were disqualified and moved to the back of the finishing order.
