The driver of the #1 E-Mod, Floyd Jordan, Jr., was one of the drivers we were able to spend some time with tonight. Floyd races with us from Pekin, Illinois. His pit crewmembers include Kurt, Chris, and Jeremy, and Floyd says his biggest fans are his kids. When we asked Floyd how his car was running, his answer was "Good." It sure looked GREAT in the heat race, Floyd! Floyd's goal for the season is to win a feature. The driver he looks up to the most is his Dad, Floyd Jordan, Sr., because he's a good race car driver. What does Floyd like the most about Spoon River Speedway? It's a good place to race. The least? He doesn't always agree with the calls made by the officials. Our thanks to Floyd for making the time to talk to us this evening, and we certainly wish him & his crew a successful racing season.

The #25 of Phil Schnarr started on the pole in E-Mod Heat #3, and he was also able to stay out front all the way. The #30 of Rob Bauman, Jr. was right behind Schnarr in 2nd, and the two were able to open up a pretty good lead with the #3M of Chris McMahill, the #42 of Tim Bishop, and the #62 of Kevin Bills battling for 3rd place behind them. Phil Schnarr brought home another win, followed by Rob Bauman, Jr., Chris McMahill, and Tim Bishop.

The #97P of Phil Johns had the pole position in Modified Heat #2, and if you are any other driver, you don't like to see Phil start up front! Johns pretty much "checked out" on the rest of the field, opening up a HUGE lead by lap #4. The #31 of Mark Anderson and the #5 of Mike Donaho were racing side by side for several laps, fighting for the 2nd position, with the #M21 of Justin Munson right on their back bumpers. Phil Johns scored a very convincing win, followed by Mark Anderson, Mike Donaho, and Justin Munson.

There seemed to be a pattern developing here ……. The #34 of Bill Anderson started on the pole in Modified Heat #4, and he also stayed out front the entire race. A good battle for 2nd was going on behind him between the #192 of Brian Allen and the #22B of Richie Biswell, and the #98 of Andy Riggins was racing the #J12 of Jason Wagner for 4th. Bill Anderson scored the win, followed by Richie Biswell, Brian Allen, and Andy Riggins.

Well, no surprise here ….. the #77T of Willie Heinz started on the pole of Hobo Heat #2, and stayed out front all the way!. Moving up quickly, after starting all the way in the back, was the #99 of Bill Willhelm, racing his way all the way up to a battle for 2nd with the #22 of Greg Sullivan on the 1st lap, with the #91 of Nick Christian right behind them. Willie Heinz held the lead and scored the convincing win, followed by Bill Willhelm, Nick Christian, and Greg Sullivan.

The #M40 of Scott "Scooter" May started on the pole in Late Model Heat #1, and just like everyone expected, opened up a nice lead for himself early in the race. The #M1 of Dale Munson and the #19 of Tim Morris were racing side-by-side for the 2nd spot, but by lap #5, Munson was able to take the position. Scott May scored another win followed by Dale Munson, Tim Morris and the #25K of Bill Kettering.

There was only one change in position in Late Model Heat #3. The #10M of Chad Pratt was the pole sitter, with the #29J of Lindell Jewel starting right behind him. The #61 of Tony Talley got around the #25 of Dwayne Walters, and moved into 3rd on the first lap, and the field was spread WAY out from there. Chad Pratt drove his way to a convincing win, followed by Lindell Jewel, Tony Talley, and Dwayne Walters.

The driver of the #5 Pro Street, David Harris, was another one of the drivers we were able to talk to tonight. Unfortunately, David was one of the cars that had trouble in the Heat, and was forced to pull his car off the track early in the race. David races with us all the way from Virginia, (Virginia, Illinois that is!), and he does all the work on his car himself. When we asked David how his car was running, he said, "Good". David's goal this season is a Feature win in the Pro Street Division. The driver that Dave looks up to the most is Tony Talley, because the two of them are good friends. What does David like the most about Spoon River Speedway? It's big & roomy. The least? He has to wait so long for his race to come up, because the E-Mods and Modifieds take too long to race! Our thanks to David for taking the time to talk with us tonight. We certainly look forward to seeing him and the #5 Pro Street at the front of the field!

Truck Heat #1 was pretty uneventful. The #30 of Gerald Carter started on the pole, the #8 of Dave Collins started 2nd, and the #7 of Greg Wells started 3rd. The field got pretty spread out right from the start, with no challenged for position throughout the entire race. They finished exactly the way they started with Gerald Carter winning the race, followed by Dave Collins and Greg Wells.

The driver of the #8 Thunder Truck, Dave Collins, was another one of the drivers we were able to talk to tonight. Dave races with us from Cuba, Illinois. Dave's pit crewmembers include himself and Dixie, and he says that Dixie is also his biggest fan. When we asked him how his truck was running, he said "Like a striped ape!" It sure looked good in the heat race, Dave! Dave's goal for the season is simple ………… WIN! What does Dave like the most about Spoon River Speedway? The size of the track. The least? Dave feels that they don't go by the rules all the time. Our thanks to Dave for taking the time to talk to us tonight, and we certainly wish him a lot of success this racing season.

Thunder Truck Heat #2 was about as uneventful as Heat #1. We were minus a few trucks tonight, so there were only two trucks starting in the 2nd heat. The #28 of Ron Wilson started on the pole, and the #31 of Harry Fourdyce started in the 2nd position, and that's were they stayed throughout the race. Ron Wilson brought home the checkered flag and Harry Fourdyce finished 2nd.

The E-Mod points leader, the #30 of Rob Bauman, Sr., started on the pole, and he stayed out front the entire race. The #M17 of Brent Munson and the #96 of Kirk Anderson battled most of the race for the 2nd position, both of them challenging Bauman for the lead throughout the race. Right behind them the #1 of Floyd Jordan, Jr. and the #4 of John Winters had their own battle going on for the 4th spot. The 3rd place starter, the #25 of Phil Schnarr, pulled into the pits early in the race with a flat tire, but he did manage to move his way back up to the front and into the 6th position by the end of the race. Rob Bauman, Sr. was able to hold off both Munson and Anderson and scored the Mid Season Championship win. Brent Munson finished 2nd, followed by Kirk Anderson, Floyd Jordan, Jr., and John Winters.

The driver of the #26 Modified, JD Beal, was another one of the drivers we spent some time with early in the evening. JD races with us from Adair, Illinois. JD's pit crewmembers include his Dad, his Mom, Jerry Sears, and Josh Hamm, and JD says his biggest fans are his wife and his niece. When we asked JD how his car was running, his answer was "Great!" He was exactly right, because it sure looked GREAT in the feature, bringing home a strong 4th place finish. JD's goal for the season is to finish in the Top 5 in the points, and he's well on his way to making that goal. The driver that JD has always looked up to the most is Bill Elliott. What does JD like the most about Spoon River Speedway? The track itself, and the drivers that he gets to race against. The least? The cuisine! Our thanks to JD for taking the time to talk with us tonight. We certainly wish him and his team a very safe & successful racing season.

Starting on the pole of the Late Model Feature was the point's leader, #M40 of Scott "Scooter" May, with the #11 of Brad Denney right behind him. May has pretty much dominated the Late Model Division for most of the season, but Brad Denney was definitely "hooked up" tonight and was able to get around May for the lead, and stayed out front all the way to the end. The #F13, which was being driven tonight by Rob Bauman, may have started in the 5th spot, but Bauman was able to get around the #M1 of Dale Munson for 3rd, and next around May to take the 2nd spot. Bauman tried to challenge Denney for the lead, but Brad Denney was able to hold him off and bring home the Mid Season Championship checkered flag. Rob Bauman finished 2nd in the #F13 car, followed by Scott May, Lindell Jewel, and Dale Munson.

The Thunder Truck point's leader, the #30 of Gerald Carter, started on the pole in the Thunder Truck Feature, which is exactly were you DON'T want to see Gerald if you are one of the other truck drivers! The #28 of Ron Wilson challenged Carter for the lead on the first few laps, but Carter was able to keep the lead, and as usual, managed to put A LOT of distance between himself and the rest of the field. The #31 of Harry Fourdyce and the #7 of Greg Wells were mixing things up in the back of the pack, trading off between the 4th and 5th spots for most of the race. Gerald Carter took home the checkered flag with a very convincing win at the Mid Season Championships. Ron Wilson finished with a strong 2nd, followed by Dave Collins, Harry Fourdyce, and Greg Wells.
