By Jack Walbring

QUINCY, IL (June 3) - Sam Halstead and Levi Long took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways on Sunday, June 3, 2007 before rain stopped the action during Page Auto Center Night at the Races.

Halstead made good use of the pole position start of the thirty lap Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature and led every lap on his way to his first feature win at Quincy this season. Halstead was never seriously challenged as he guided his new CJ Rayburn to the win a feature event that went non stop from green to checker. Mark Burgtorf rallied for the second spot from his sixth row starting spot but still came up eight tenths of a second short of the top spot. The third through fifth positions went to Dustin Neese, Lonnie Bailey and Jerry Weisenberger. Halstead, Burgtorf and Denny Woodworth grabbed the heat race wins with Lonnie Bailey taking home the win in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash. The rains started to fall as Halstead celebrated his win in victory lane.

Levi Long took the feature event win in the Hornet division after the field was thinned by a multitude of accidents. Long led the way to the checkered flag followed by Tony Shankle, Jordan DeLonjay Rice, Zack Bruenger and Glen Wiley. Jordan DeLonjay Rice and Lew Aikman took the heat race wins.

The Hobby Stock heat wins went to James Leffew, Steve Carlin and Todd Reichert while the rough and tumble Miller Lite Modifieds heats went to Tony Dunker, Joe Hooper and Michael Long. Henry DeLonjay won the Advance Trading Tony Dunker Trophy Dash while Ricky Frankel scored the win in the B-Main. The Hornets and the Miller Lite Modifieds will see double features this next Sunday night, June 10 to make up their rain delayed features.
