Tomlinson Scores at Quincy Raceways
By Jack Walbring

QUINCY, IL (July 329) - Kevin Tomlinson, Michael Long, Aaron Brocksieck and Steven DeLonjay all took feature event wins at Quincy Raceways on Sunday, July 29 during International Eye care Center and Tom Boland Ford Night at the Races.

Veteran Dave Warth took off at the drop of the green flag of the Budweiser IMCA Late Model feature event and pulled to a straight away lead until the field was brought back together on a lap nine caution flag restart. Kevin Tomlinson made the restart in the second spot and on the 12th lap pulled into the lead around Warth. Tomlinson then set sail in the lead but Mark Burgtorf was making his way to the front of the field as the laps wound down. Burgtorf pulled even with Tomlinson over the final laps but could not make the pass for the lead stick as Tomlinson was able to negotiate lapped traffic easier. Tomlinson’s win was his first points win of the year and was by only a .091 of a second over Burgtorf. A resurgent Terry Gallaher grabbed third over Joey Gower in fourth and Brian Harris in fifth. Dustin Griffin, Warth and Nick Ingalls were the heat race winners while Gallaher grabbed the checkered flag in the Summy Tire & Auto Center Trophy Dash Series.

Burgtorf now holds a sixty two point lead over Lonnie Bailey in his quest for a fourteenth track points championship.

Michael Long put on the show again in the Miller Lite Modified feature event as he captured his ninth feature event win in fourteen tries this points season. Long had seen his points lead shrink over the past few races but this win combined with some bad fortune on Henry DeLonjay’s part put him back up by a slim six points over DeLonjay. Long and DeLonjay started in the fifth row of the twenty five lap main event and battled tooth and nail over the first six laps until DeLonjay and Robbie Reed had one of those “racing deals” sending both to the back of the restart lineup when the green flag reappeared. Long found himself in the fifth spot on the restart and blasted to the top line to grab third by the end of the seventh lap. Long then set his sights on the leaders being scored in second on lap nine by passing Tony Dunker then getting by Dave Wietholder on lap ten to take the lead. Long pulled away for an eight second lead at the checkered flag. Dunker rallied for second followed by Brandon Lennox in third, and Dave Wietholder in fourth. DeLonjay made a valiant charge through the field to come up in the fifth spot on the final lap. Robbie Reed, Joe Blivens and Lennox were the heat race winners with Wietholder grabbing the win in the Advance Trading Trophy Dash Series. Long’s win now gives him a six point advantage over DeLonjay in his pursuit of his first Quincy Raceways points championship.

The Hobby Stocks had problems again this week as a multitude of caution flags caused the event to be time limited to eleven laps. Sara Woodhurst took over the lead on the second lap and survived in the top spot despite heavy pressure from Aaron Brocksieck until the ninth lap. Woodhurst slipped up coming off turn two during a lap nine restart and lost control giving the lead to Brocksieck. The young Camp Point driver then went on the lead to the checkered flag getting his second points win of the year over Eddie Dieker in second, Steve Carlin in third, Todd Reichert in fourth and Jarrod Richie in fifth. Andrew Griffin and Chris Rees were the heat race winners. Reichert now holds a very slim two point advantage over Carlin in the points battle.

Steven DeLonjay worked his way into the lead of the Hornet main event on the third lap and went on to hold it until the checkered flag fell on the fifteenth lap. Rodney Prewitt stayed in the second spot but had nothing for DeLonjay and had to settle for second followed by Levi Long in third, Lew Aikman in fourth and Bill Winkle in fifth. DeLonjay and Long were the heat race winners. Long now has seen his points lead dwindle to only five makers over DeLonjay in the track points championship battle.

Coming up next at Quincy Raceways will be Tim’s Machine Shop and Fan Appreciation Night at the Races on Sunday, August 5. Gates open at 4 with Hot Laps at 6 and racing scheduled for 6:30pm.
