Well I spent the weekend in the Wisconsin Dells with the family and we had a blast up there. Once we got back in town, Kyle and I got ahold of my dad and we met up at the Quad City Speedway for some Father's Day racing.
"Low Side Hustler", "Fresh", and "Dougie Fresh" are some nicknames Doug Curless has had over the years and Sunday night he added couple more, "Showstoppa" and "The Show", to the list en route to his IMCA Modified victory.
Curless battled Matt Werner and traded the lead with him several times in the 20 lap feature. Curless ran the bottom like no other Sunday night while Werner was nearly as strong on the top side. The race was caution less until lap 18 which set up a green white checkered finish. Everyone was on the edge of their seat as Curless got out to the lead and after everyone took the white flag the yellow flag waved resulting in a yellow-checkered finish. Werner finished second followed by Bruce Hanford, Ray Cox Jr.(who started 12th), and Greg Durbin.
In the IMCA Late Models Matt Ryan moved his 07 machine to the top side of the track around the half way point of the feature and never looked back. Before that a couple of QCS all-time greats, LeRoy Brenner and Gary Webb, battled for the lead. Both Brenner and Webb would fade back and Travis Denning and Ray Guss Jr. would duke it out for the second spot. Denning would run up against the wall all the way around the track while Guss hugged the tires. Guss would ultimately take second with Denning third followed by Andy Nezworski and Todd Malmstrom.
Rob Henry came from the 10th starting spot to collect another win in the Street Stocks. Korey Peterson and Chad Coyne battled early on for the lead but once Henry was able to reach Peterson and Coyne he motored by them and went on to park the 00 in victory lane. Second was Peterson followed by Coyne, Rick Schriner, and Rob Nylin.
Shon Sanders once again put his #4 in the winners circle after the Mod Lite feature. Mike Pershing and Dan Guss battled side by side for a few laps for second with Pershing eventually taking second. Guss took third followed by Mike Morrow and Jeffrey Peterson.
He's only been back for a couple weeks but Gary Weatherington Jr. looked better then ever Sunday night picking off the "W". Weatherington would run down Brandon Jewell who ran well all race. Jewell would finish second followed by Phil Anderson, Jarett Franzen, and Dave Engelkins.
The 4-Cylinders had another great feature Sunday night. Brandon Dahl and Brandon Setser ran side by side for nearly the entire feature. Dahl would once again win with Cameron Poci getting by Setser on the last lap. Zach Dahl took forth followed by Ken Stogdell.
Once again thank you to K&S Promotions and the Quad City Speedway for allowing Kyle and I to cover racing at our favorite track.
