Lincoln Speedway Friday night race results

[June 18, 2013]  Lincoln Speedway racers and fans saw a great night of racing on Friday. The Late Models were at the track in their first stop of the weekend, before they headed off to Macon Speedway on Saturday night.

The Late Model feature was a race fan's delight. Steve Sheppard Jr., from New Berlin, in the 5s took the early lead, running the high side. Charging hard to the front was Matt Taylor, from Springfield, in the 24T. Taylor was running each position down and gaining on Sheppard. Taylor took the 24T to victory lane, passing Sheppard on the last lap and getting the thumbs-up from him on the way to the winner's circle. Taylor was hoping to carry that momentum into Saturday's race at Macon Speedway.

Myles Moos in the 20 car scored a victory in his Pro Late Model. Winning the heat and then going out and winning the feature had the Moose Racing team high-fiving most of the night. Myles held off Roben Huffman in the 33H and Nick Bauman in the B1, a regular in victory lane. Myles also raced his Pro Late Model in the Late Model feature and placed eighth.

The Modified feature was another fantastic race to watch. Week in and week out this division continues to bring great racers to the track who compete for the spot in victory lane. Friday night was no different. The 14 Cashless Racing car driven by Brian Lynn was hooked up and charging to the finish, with Brian Divley in the 29 hot on his tail. These two drivers did it right and raced each other clean lap after lap. They came into lap traffic, and Divley was able to skate through to take the lead. Lynn kept his foot in it and charged hard but was unable to regain the lead. Divley came home with the checkered flag, but again not without the thumbs-up from Lynn as Dively headed to the winner's circle.

Street Stock fans saw B.J. Beal take the checkered flag in the 3D in the Street Stock feature. Todd Smith finished second and Terry Reed finished third. Deal, driver for Wilhour Racing and Crosley Radio, had promised to give away a tabletop iPod jukebox to a lucky fan if he continued his winning streak on Friday night. He held true to his word and a lucky fan won the jukebox.

Fans are invited to come out to the Lincoln Speedway on Friday and enjoy the 305 Wing Sprints, along with a full show. On June 30, the Super Late Models will make their stop in Lincoln as they travel through central Illinois on the Summer Nationals "Hell Tour."
