Quincy, IL (Sunday, June 1, 2014) - Sunday night was another regular night of racing at the Quincy Raceways in Quincy, Illinois. Despite the area around the track getting rains, the track was able to survive all the showers to get there program in.
The first feature to take to the track was the 15 lap IMCA Sport Compacts, with Darin Weisinger Jr. and Brandon Lambert leading the field to green. Lambert would take advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1 over Patrick "Skipp" Dunker, who started 4th, and Bryce Baker. Lambert then held the top spot until lap 3 when Dunker squeezed by on the top of the track to take the lead. Austen Becerra, who started 5th and had a string of 13 wins in a row going at the track, tried to chase down Dunker over the final 5 laps. Going into turn 3 on the final lap, Becerra was able to get under Dunker to come out of 4 side-by-side. But Dunker used the momentum off the top of the track to edge Becerra at the line for his first win of the season at the track. Becerra settled for 2nd, Kimberly Abbott came from 6th to finish in 3rd, Lambert was 4th, with Baker coming home in 5th.
Up next was the 18 lap IMCA Stock Car feature, with Nathan Hayes and Jake Powers making up the front row for the event. Hayes used his front row starting spot to jump out into the lead on lap 1 over Terry Houston and Jim Lynch. Houston would spin in turn 1 on the completion of lap 1 and collected Abe Huls to bring out the yellow. On the restart Hayes moved back out front with Lynch and Brandon Savage battling for second. The action up front was slowed on lap 9, when Powers spun in turn 3 to bring out the caution. Hayes once again grabbed the lead on the restart, with Lynch working to hold off Huls, who came from the rear after being involved in the lap 1 crash. Huls cleared Lynch on lap 12 and then went to work on Hayes for the lead. Going into turn 3 on the final lap Huls was able to get up beside Hayes, as both came out of turn 4 side-by-side. But Hayes was able to edge Huls at the line by half a car length to score his first career Stock Car feature win. Huls settled for 2nd, Houston recovered from the lap 1 spin to come back up to 3rd, Savage was 4th, with Powers rounding out the top 5.
Denny Woodworth and Dustin Griffin led the field to the green flag in the 30 lap UMP Late Model feature, with Woodworth grabbing the lead on lap 1 over Justin Reed and Griffin. Reed tried to get under Woodworth over the first 10 laps, before he had to work to hold off Mark Burgtorf for the second spot. While Reed and Burgtorf battled for second, Woodworth was able to open up a two second lead. Burgtorf would clear Reed for the runner up spot on lap 13 and then went to work on cutting into Woodworth's lead. On lap 25 smoke from a broken power steering line appeared from Woodowrth's car, which would allow Burgtorf to cut into his lead. But Woodworth was able to battle the final 5 laps without power steering to claim the win. Burgtorf was 2nd, Reed was 3rd, Griffin was 4th, with Rickey Frankel coming from 7th to finish in 5th.
Up next was the 25 lap UMP Modified feature, with Keith Pratt and Shane Lewis making up the front row for the event. But just as the green flag was dropped the yellow light would come on, as Dylan Hoover spun in turn 4 to bring out the caution. On the restart Pratt jumped out front on lap 1 over Michael Long, who started 6th, and David Wietholder. The battle out front was slowed on the completion of lap 1, when Russ Coultas spun in turn 1 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Ryan Meyer ended up rolling in turn 3 to bring out the red flag. He climbed from his car shaken but okay. Pratt moved back out front on the restart, with Long and Wietholder close behind. Long would slip past Pratt for the top spot on lap 3 and then started to pull away from the field. The fast pace that Long was setting came to an end on lap 17, as he pulled into the infield with troubles to end his night. Steve DeLonjay inherited the lead and then held on to pick up the $750 top prize. Wietholder was 2nd, Lewis was 3rd, Pratt was 4th, with Jared Schlipman passing 7 cars from his 12th place starting spot to come home in 5th.
The final feature to take to the track was the 18 lap IMCA SportMods, with Bob Cowman and Trevor Hagerbaumer on the front row. Hagerbaumer used his front row starting spot to jump out into the lead on lap 1 over Aaron Brocksieck and Joey Gower. Brocksieck's run up front came to an end on lap 4, when he spun in turn 4 to bring out the caution. On the restart Hagerbaumer moved back out front, with Tanner Klingele, who started 5th, and Tony Dunker, who started 9th, battling behind him. The action up front was slowed on lap 6, when Cowman spun in turn 4 to bring out the yellow. On the restart disaster would strike Hagerbaumer, as he spun in turn 4 to bring the yellow light back on. Gower would grab the lead on the restart, with Bobby Anders, who started 7th, and Dunker battling for second.
