Deferring to the " Boss"

Normally at this time, I would be doing a recap of Sunday night racing at Quincy Raceways. But
" Backstretch " columnist Jeff Broeg, without whom this blog site would not happen, was a visitor to the "Broadway Bullring " and his analysis is spot on with mine. So I will direct you to his column and just add a few notes. I had to smile and shake my head when I read that he was tracking Tony Dunkers charge lap by lap in the Sport Mod feature. Although we were not sitting together at that time, I was doing the same - do we all think alike?
 It was easily the best racing at QR in a while, and the lightning fast surface produced the line of the night from announcer Doug Mealy. After the late model feature, Doug said he wasn't sure if winner Michael Long was driving that fast or the throttle had stuck on his # 56J! Michael and crew had a good laugh over that one. There was even more good news from the Jennings Racing camp. Former driver Justin Jennings, son and nephew of car owners Greg and Neil, will be competing in the Friday night portion of the NASCAR weekend at Texas Speedway. And apparently Greg has been recruited as rear tire changer, while Neil will be the gas man. Greg said he had already gotten plenty of " advice " from Justin in practice.
 Ken Schrader is no stranger to the track, having raced here many times with both his late model and modified, but it may be the first time he has shown up unannounced. It was a couple years ago when Carl Edwards caused a stir by showing up and served as a crewman for a racing buddy from Columbia, Mo.
 Modified feature winner Rusty Griffaw has likewide raced in both the late model and mod divisions at the track, but it was a bit of a surprise to see the " Junk Yard Dog , " Jim Black make the long tow from the St Louis area.
 We were quite surprised to see Ste Genevieve, Mo hotshoe Dewayne Kiefer at 34 Raceway Saturday night, but hoped the damage he suffered would not prevent him from staying over and racing at QR on Sunday. He said it was a bent tie road that ended his Saturday run, and he was up front on Sunday with a runnerup finish. I am certain I am correct that Keifers last four visits to the track have resulted in a win and three seconds. Too bad QR is 200 miles from home!
  Another surprise entrant in the late model division was Jeff Riddell # 09. Jeff made the tow from Steward, Il., near Dekalb. I had previously seen him in action this season one time, and he tells me he has not been in a race car in eleven seasons. Does that make him a rookie again?
 Michael Long was a one class racer on Sunday, but hopes to have a new modified on the track this coming week.
  The one race Jeff missed was the Sport Compact feature, in which Michael Grossmanfrom Keokuk, Iowa snared the win.
 If you get a chance, make Quincy Raceways a stop on your summer racing schedule, and say " Hi " when you do. Otherwise, I will hopefully meet you all " Racin' Down the Road."
