Logue, Leka and Dulgar Claim Victories
at Macon
By: Pete Davis
Macon, IL (May 3, 2008) - Macon Speedway was proud
to hold the Cinco de Mayo Festival Saturday night. Festivities
included a sombrero giveaway and a jalapeno eating contest. Chad
Justice took home a pair of Macon Speedway tickets for eating
the most peppers in 15 seconds.
The consummate pros Kyle Logue and Steve Sheppard Jr. finished
first and second in race number three of the MidWest Big Ten
Series for the Chevrolet Late Models. After his third place finish
on Friday at Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville, Logue now
holds a commanding lead in the series point standings.
Blue Mound's Cory Daugherty racked up a few points of his
own by finishing in third place. He's well on his way to winning
a nice share of the series prize. Jason Unzicker won the second
ace of the series on Friday at Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville.
Jim Leka from Buffalo worked his way around Steve Ewing for
a win in the BARBECK Communications Modified feature. Former
Street Stock champion Ewing posted his best ever finish in the
Modified class.
"It feels like a win. If you're losing to (Leka), you're
doing alright." Ewing said.
In the Hornet feature, Bruce Dulgar brought Joe Reed's three-race
winning streak to end. Tyler Blankenship from St. Elmo held off
Steve Ewing to win his second street stock feature of the season.
All the way from Avon, Ind., 14 year old Zac Bunten won the
first race of his very young career. His first visit to Macon
Speedway, Bunten drove away from local youth racer Justin Leka
in the AFCO Kid Modz feature race.
