DAVENPORT, Iowa (May 22, 2009) – Ray Guss Jr. returned to his winning ways Friday at the Davenport Speedway. Guss won the Track Tamer Engines IMCA Late Model feature, as 116 racecars were on hand to kick off  the Memorial Day weekend.
The IMCA Late Model feature began with front row starters Jeff Walker and Mitch Current trading the lead back and forth several times.

After a lap eight caution, Guss bolted into the lead. Within 5 laps, his lead had become a full straightaway over the field. The caution would fly a couple more times, but on each restart, Guss would pull away from the field.

QUINCY, Ill. (May 24, 2009) – One of the largest crowds in Quincy Raceways history showed up to view the annual special event for the Memorial Day Holiday races. The rain finally stayed away from the Broadway Bull Ring giving the track a chance to dry out and present a black slick surface from top to bottom. Jimmy Moughan, Matt Bailey, Terry Houston, Jim Powell and Jason Masengarb all took feature event win.

DONNELLSON, Iowa (May 22, 2009) – Rodger Dresden won for the second straight week at Lee County Speedway, but the four other feature winners picked up their first features wins of the 2009 season.
Dan Wenig, James Oliver, III, Jeff Mueller and Josh Foster each picked up their first wins of the season at Lee County.

In what is turning out to be common place for the Lawson Racing Engines and Parts Supply IMCA Sport Mods, Dresden picked up a narrow victory over Jason Cook. Dresden led early and then lost the lead in the middle stages of the event to Cook. Dresden came back and the two battled side-by-side for the final three laps before Dresden won by about one foot. Phillip Cossel, Rod Staats and Thad Gaylord rounded out the top five.

This week’s episode looks as usual with results from area tracks, as well as Jake’s trip to Vermillion County Speedway, in Danville, Ill. In segment 2 Dewain talks to Neil Culley, owner/general manager, of Stock Car Products, about a test session they did 15 to 20 years ago that showed that quick change rearends, in low gear settings, actually use less horsepower than 9″ rearends. This is all setting up a modern and current test Griffin Performance Center, Quincy, Ill., and the Tri-State Speed Review are going to do that will test five different gear ratios. David Weitholder has offered his car for the Chassis Dyno test. Keep your eye on the TSSR website for the time of the test as the public will be welcome. The third segment Jake and Dewain enter into a discussion about heat races and the number of cars in said races. We hope you enjoy and as always e-mail us questions or story ideas to cffracingshow@hulletpublications.com
