Quincy Raceways changed things up Sunday night as the UMP late
models and IMCA stock cars took the night off, and the Midwest Open
Wheel Association 410 sprint cars took center stage for a $2,000 top
prize. 23 of the open wheelers joined four weekly classes for the night
of racing before a nice sized crowd. Due to the heat, officials pushed
the start time back to 7:30. Jerrod Hull topped qualifying around the
.29 mile oval at 11.786 seconds. Three heat races and a dash set the
starting field for the 25 lap finale. A J Bruns blasted to the lead, but
the only caution of the race waved on lap 2. Following the restart,
Bruns was again the class of the field, leading for 24 and 3/4 laps.
Forced to slow a bit as he worked lapped traffic, second running Jimmy
Hurley Turned up the wick, catching the # 44 in turn three. The two
drivers made contact, with Bruns sliding through the infield, and Hurley
charging to the checkers, Bruns recovered for second, with Joey Moughan
and Jim Moughan in hot pursuit. Ben Wagoner completed the first five.
The
UMP modifieds ran in support of the sprints, and Michael Long completed
a trifecta weekend, with his third feature win in three nights,
following victoies at Fulton, Mo., and Pevely, Mo. Jarrod Schlipman took
runner up honors, and first timers Donovan Lodge and Ray Bollinger
sandwiched Dave Weitholder in fourth.
NASCAR veteran Kenny
Wallace dropped by with his UNOH # 36 mod, finishing tenth. Tanner
Klingele topped Brandon Symmonds in the hobby stocks, while local
celebrity Skipp Dunker added $100.00 to the top spot in the IMCA sport
mods and IMCA sport compacts. Vance Wilson recovered from a lap five
spin to best point leader Tony Dunker - Skipps brother for the sport mod
win, while Austin Becerra edged Chuck Fullenkamp for the 4 cylinder
checkers.
Friday night, the UMP Summernationals come to QR ,
highlighted by a $7,500 top prize, supported by the UMP Summit modifieds
and the QR hobby stocks.
