Five Track Champions Crowned at Quad City Raceway

EAST MOLINE, IL (Aug 26) - On a full moon night in East Moline, 80 plus cars parked in the pits, waiting to run for the Quad City Raceway Season Championship. The night got under way with the Stouts Distributing 4 Cylinders. Heat one went to the 7 of Rob Harding and heat two went to the 13 of Shawn Pappas. Up next were the Fields of Pizza Street Stocks. The 63 of Buck Harmening took the first heat and the 68 of Aaron Burroughs won heat two. Then the A-Modifieds took to the track and Doug Crampton in the 40 and Kevin Blum in the 1 each won a heat. The Racer’s Edge B-Modifieds were next with three heats. The first heat went to Jerry Bailey Jr. in the 88J, second heat to Brad Pershy in the 15, and the third heat to Jake Waterman in the 10. The Builders World IMCA Late Models ran their heats last with Nate Beuseling in the 46 winning the first one and Bobby Toland in the 39T winning the second one.

The Stouts Distributing 4 Cylinders came out next to run their feature event. Neither Wade Dahl in the D26 or Todd Sibley in the 125 took the front row challenge. The race got started with some excitement. Coming out of turn 2 the 13 of Shawn Pappas and the 77 of Robert Belonga got together and Belonga’s 77 rolled. Belonga said he was okay but was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons. Once the racing got going again Dahl took the early lead with Sibley and Pappas right on his bumper. Eventually Sibley fell off the pace giving Pappas the chance to challenge for the lead. Finally Pappas would get by Dahl and start pulling away. Meanwhile Rob Harding in the 7 started giving Dahl all he could handle. Lap after lap Dahl and Harding traded positions. Up front Pappas would take the checkered flag, Harding would hold off Dahl for second. Mike Wisdom in the 112X and R.J. Gonzalez in the 39G rounded out the top five.

The Fields of Pizza Street Stocks were up next. Once again neither Rob Henry in the 00 or Aaron Burroughs in the 68 took the front row challenge. Right at the drop of the green Henry and Burroughs began their battle. Henry was running high and Burroughs was running low. Finally Burroughs would get by Henry and start building a lead. Tony VonDresky in the 000 and Buck Harmening in the 63 were starting to make their moves to first at this time too. After another roll over, this time by Rick Schriner in the 8 (he was okay), Henry and VonDresky began racing hard for second while Burroughs continued to build a lead. Matt Werner in the 93 also started coming towards the front. Then on a restart after a few cautions, Henry and Burroughs got together in the turn one causing Burroughs to spin. In frustration Burroughs got out of his car causing an instant disqualification. Henry was sent to the back and then there was a new front of Harmening and Toby Spicer in the 7. This was actually the original sixth row. This was all Harmening needed, he grabbed the lead and didn’t look back. Harmening held off a late charge by the 1 of Terry Mattly and took home the victory. Mattly took second followed by Spicer, Rob Nylin in the 1X, and Nathan Hall in the 40.

Now came out the A-Modifieds and Kevin Blum in the 1 decided to take the challenge and go to the back and try to double his money. Brandon Durbin elected to stay on the front row. So that bumped Jeff Morris up to the front row with B. Durbin. Once the green waved J. Morris took the lead and never gave it up. B. Durbin stayed on him the whole race but couldn’t quite make the move for lead. Blum was very fast and did everything he could to get to the front and put on an outstanding show. He was able to take advantage of few cautions but in the end he ended up fourth. J. Morris went to take the checkered flag followed by B. Durbin, Mike Zemo Jr. in the Z, Blum, and Jordan Schram in the 92S.

Due to time concerns the Builders World IMCA Late Models ran next to make sure their race got in because the IMCA National points ended Sunday night. Neither Rob Toland in the 39 or Jason Bahrs in the 6 took the front row challenge. Right away R. Toland proved he was the man to beat. After holding off an early threat from Bahrs and Shawn Mulvany in the 70, R. Toland pulled away from the pack and lead flag to flag. For the whole feature Bahrs and Mulvany went at it for second. R. Toland took the win followed by Mulvany, Bahrs, Andy Nezworski in the 7, and Ron Gustaf in the 90X.

The Racer’s Edge B-Modified were last onto the track for their feature race. Both Greg Durbin in the 8 and Craig Crawford in the 29 decided to stay on the front row and not take the challenge. Durbin grabbed the early lead with Crawford and Jerry Bailey Jr. in the 88J right behind him racing side by side for second. Meanwhile Jake Waterman in the 10 was coming through the pack with sight set on Durbin. Waterman would eventually get by Crawford for second and start working on Durbin but after the last of several cautions the race was called because of curfew. Durbin took home the win followed by Waterman, Crawford, Jimmy Comins in the 83, and Chad Tomlinson in the 75.
