 [August 15, 2019]
For the second time this season, the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget
League is set to take the track at Lincoln Speedway, in Lincoln, IL.
The quick and nimble racers were also part of the Summer Nationals
event on June 30, when NASCAR star, Christopher Bell, took home the
trophy. Friday’s event will also feature four other action packed
divisions of racing, which will make for a great start to an action
packed race weekend in Central Illinois.
For the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League, Jesse Colwell, of
Red Bluff, CA, leads the standings in the Keith Kunz-Curb Agajanian
Motorsports/JBL Audio #71. Colwell has claimed one win with nine top
five finishes and fifteen top tens. His lead is 330 over Zach Daum.
Jake Neuman, Ace McCarthy, and Holley Hollan round out the top five
in this year’s standings.
The Midwest Big Ten Series Pro Late Models, after an exciting race
last week, will be back in action at Lincoln this week in their 9th
event of the season. The local track points as well as the Big Ten
points are led by Springfield, IL’s Jake Little. Little has won two
features at Lincoln this season and has claimed a Big Ten win at
Jacksonville. Denny Woodworth and Roben Huffman are tied for second
in the Lincoln points, while Cody Maguire and Colby Sheppard round
out the top five.
In the DIRTcar Modifieds, Mason City, IL driver, Brian Lynn, leads
the standings by 40 over his son Austin. Last year, the scenario was
similar but a much closer battle. Right now, Brian has a 40 point
lead, which puts him in pretty good shape with two events left.
Tommy Sheppard, Mike Brooks, and Ray Bollinger complete the top
five.
Andy Baugh, of Mason City, IL, has won five out of seven features in
the Nutech Seed DII Midget class this season and leads the standings
coming into the week. While Baugh has only come up short twice, once
was this past Friday night. Jeff Sparks, Mark McMahill, Patrick
Ryan, and Daltyn England complete the top five in points. Karter
Sarff won a feature earlier this year, while Korey Weyant picked up
last week’s win. The Nutech Seed Front Row Challenge bonus will be
up to $800 this Friday night.

Vanapeldoorn. Oates has claimed one feature win, while Vanapeldoorn
has claimed three. Carter Dart, Brady Reed, and Cook Crawford round
out the top five in points.
Friday’s “Night Before The Mile” event will be presented by Richmond
Gear. Richmond will be presenting Pro Late Model and Modified
drivers special award certificates in an awards package. It’s all
part of a great weekend of racing that features Lincoln Speedway
Friday night, Macon Speedway Saturday night, and the Illinois State
Fair races on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Pit gates will open Friday at 3:00, grandstands at 5:00, hotlaps
