Denny Woodworth Takes First Deery Brothers
Summer Series Late Model Win
By: Jack Walbring
Quincy, IL (April 30, 2008) - The Racing Lawyer, Denny
Woodworth of Quincy showed up at Quincy Raceways to sign in for
the evenings events dressed just the way he was when he left
court on Wednesday afternoon. He may just want to show up that
way to all his race nights as he had the winning argument in
the fifty lap Deery Brothers Summer Series main event for the
J&J Steel IMCA Late Models sponsored by Sullivan Auctioneers..
Mike Garland jumped into the early lead of the fifty lapper
and looked like he might just be the man to beat, but Woodworth
ran Garland down and passed for the lead on the sixth lap. Woodworth
then held Garland at bay as he was not going to surrender the
top spot easily to Woodworth. Garland stayed within striking
distance until Tom Darbyshire worked his way to Garlands
back bumper and Garland had to concentrate on keeping Darbyshire
behind him. Darbyshire worked Garland high and low and finally
slipped past for the second spot on the thirty eighth lap when
Garland found the turn three hole that gave most of the field
fits. Darbyshire then pulled away from the fading Garland and
set his sights on Woodworth and the lead. Darbyshire closed the
gap on Woodworth to even with three laps to go but Woodworth
picked up the pace and had a .693 of a second lead when the checkered
flag fell on lap fifty. Darbyshire held on for the second spot
followed by Mark Burgtorf in third, Garland in fourth and Robby
Warner in fifth.
Matt Strassheim, Burgtorf, Garland, Ben Nading and Robby
Warner took the heat race wins in a field of forty two IMCA Late
Models. Terry Neal and Lonnie Bailey grabbed the B-Main wins
while Robby Warner claimed the Summy Tire and Auto Center Trophy
Dash win.
The pits were astir as the final modified entry showed up
for the nights festivities as Nextel Cup Star Carl Edwards climbed
from the tow vehicle to help a young protégé, Darrell
Jones of Columbia, Mo. The pit area seemed to respect Edwards
presence and let the famous driver enjoy his rare night at the
dirt track.
Michael Long continued his dominance of the Miller Lite Modified
division by taking the lead of the thirty lap main event on the
second lap and cruising to a full straight lead at the checkered
flag. Brandon Lennox settled for second followed by David Holder
in third, Vance Wilson in fourth and Jeff Waterman in fifth.
Long and Holder took the checkered flags in the heat races and
Lennox scored the win in the Advance Trading Trophy Dash.
Up next at Quincy Raceways will be Mark Twain Casino Night
at the Races on Sunday, May 4. The pit gates open at 4, grandstands
at 5 with Hot Laps at 6:00 and racing at 6:30pm Visit Quincy
