PEORIA, IL (July 5) - Hardware was up for grabs Saturday night at Peoria Speedway's mid-season championships. Points leaders in three of five divisions took home trophies.

Steve Lance Jr. edged Todd Bennett by about a car length to win the Late Model feature.
Lance routinely scraped the right rear of his car against the outside retaining wall in driving high through the corners.

"I was trying to get all I could," the Cuba resident said. "The bottom was good too because Todd stayed right there."
After starting in the second row, Lance took the lead on Lap 16 when points leader Bennett — who started on the pole — had difficulty getting around a lapped car. A similar situation almost cost Lance exiting the fourth turn on the 30th and final lap.

Dale Munson of Fairview started on the pole and led all 20 laps to win in Modified. It was the third feature win of the season for the 51-year-old Munson, who withstood five cautions and the second-place car of Mark Johnson.
"It always takes a while to get your rhythm back after a caution," Munson said.
Jack Siegel took the lead on the first lap and breezed to victory in Sportsman. It was the second consecutive and fourth feature win of the season for the West Peoria resident.

"The car was awesome tonight," Siegel said.
Scott Schoener of Flanagan won the Street Stock feature. He held off second-place Bryon Ray on six restarts in 12 laps.
"I was way ready for that to be over," Schoener said.

Zac Kuhel of Morton won his sixth feature of the season in the Hornet division.
"I wanted that big trophy," Kuhel said.

SPEEDWAY DIRT: Fans, drivers and track employees combined to donate over $2500.00 to the family of Kevin Lyles, the Beardstown resident who was killed last week in a racing accident at Macomb Speedway. Lyles, 35, left behind a wife and four children. Peoria Speedway official scorer Cyndi Shannon and announcer Scott Shults said they plan to personally deliver a check to Beardstown on Thursday. Speedway owner Sherrie Hamilton said the track would accept donations on behalf of the Lyles through Wednesday. ... Brad Willis Jr. drove over the wall in Turns 3 and 4 on the first lap of the first Sportsman heat. The East Peoria resident was not injured. An extension that will raise the retaining wall throughout the north turns is expected to be installed in the coming week.
