Gallaher Claims Pepsi Mid-Season Championship at Quincy Raceways
by: Jack Walbring

QUINCY, IL (June 24) - Terry Gallaher, Michael Long, Steve Carlin and Lew Aikman all took Pepsi Mid-Season Championship feature event wins at Quincy Raceways on Sunday, June 24.

Veteran Terry Gallaher has slowly been working his way out of an early season slump and Sunday night he blasted his way into victory lane to pick up a huge win. Gallaher battled throughout the thirty lap main event with Nick Ingalls with not more than a car length separating the two the entire race. Ingalls slipped by Gallaher on the high side coming off of turn four to lead the eighteenth lap by a mere .015 of a second but Gallaher rallied back past Ingalls as the youngster slipped up going through turn one on the next lap. Gallaher then held Ingalls at bay at the finish by a car length to grab his first feature event win this season. Ingalls settled for second followed by Mark Burgtorf in third, Ron Elbe in fourth and Kevin Tomlinson in fifth. Ingalls and Gallaher took the heat race wins with Lonnie Bailey laying claim to the win in the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy Dash.

Michael Long put on another dominating performance in the Miller Lite Modified division as he did another clean sweep of his races. Long won his heat, then the Advance Trading Tony Dunker Trophy Dash and then the twenty five lap Pepsi Mid-Season Championship. Long started in the sixth row of the main event and literally blasted into the lead on the fifth lap by passing the top three leaders after a lap five restart. Henry DeLonjay made a valiant effort to stay with Long but had to settle for second at the checkered flag. The third spot went to Jeff Waterman, fourth to Terry Wilson and fifth to Tony Dunker. DeLonjay and Robbie Carter took the other heat race wins.

Steve Carlin took the Pepsi Mid-Season Championship feature event win the Hobby Stock Division in a race that was so dominated by caution flags that it was time limited to fourteen laps of the scheduled twenty lap length. Carlin won over Travis Booher in second, Bruce Hatfield in third, Chris Rees in fourth and Michael Lay in fifth. Aaron Brocksieck and Todd Reichert were the heat race winners.

Lew Aikman had a dominating Pepsi Mid-Season Championship win in the Hornet division as he led every lap of the fifteen lapper. Steven DeLonjay had to settle for the second spot followed by Joe Gollaher in third, Levi Long in fourth and Jordan DeLonjay Rice in fifth. Bill Winkle and Gollaher were the heat race winners.
