Quick Fixes Allow for Amazing Features at the Bullring
Quincy, IL — Another night of racing in the books. Quincy Raceways continued to show out with a 59-car count on the night. The heat races would see the Broadway Bullring turn into the Broadway Dustbowl, as recent weather conditions left the track dry and dusty. Reducing fan visibility. However, at the conclusion of the Late Model Dash Race. The Track Crew got to work and got the track into the conditions it needed to allow for a fun night of features. As fans and drivers raved about track conditions.
The features would open up with the DIRTcar Modifieds, as Dave Wietholder in the 05 would start in second but put on a 20-lap first-place domination. Camp Point’s Justin Reed in the B4 would start in fourth place and climb his way to a second-place finish. The 59R of Jacob Rexing out of Brigton, IL, would fall to third from his first-place start.
The IMCA Late Models would see a lot of bumping and grinding as Knoxville, IA’s Curtis Glover would come from fourth place to finish in first on lap 13 to pass Jamie Wilson, who would take second in the race. Keokuk’s Tommy Elston would make a climb from seventh to finish in third place on the evening.
