by Ed Potter

EAST MOLINE, IL (July 30, 2006) - Pole sitter, Jimmy Comins Jr took the early lead of the B Modified feature Sunday at Quad City Speedway when the caution flew at lap two.

Despite three more cautions Pershy was not giving up as he went on for his first Quad City win this year. Crawford held on for second with Morris third; Greg Durbin took fourth with Natan Hall fifth. Jason Bielema won the other heat.

Coming from his third place starting spot, Mike Zemo Jr grabbed the lead of the Open Wheel Modified feature and held it until lap eleven. On lap eleven second heat winner, Milo Veloz Jr took over the point, Jeff Morris moved into second on lap thirteen, but couldn't quite catch Veloz.

With a double front row restart of Randy Exline and Matt Werner, Exline took control and went on for his fourth win of the season with three in a row. One of the three was not a point race as it was the Fair race. Werner held on for second with third heat winner, Korey Peterson third, Buck Harmening fourth and Chris Lawrence fifth. Chris Hambright won the other heat.

Third place starter, Jason Parrish charged out front to lead the first lap of the IMCA Late Model feature with second heat winner, Rick Wages taking over on lap two.
