Beuseling Best at Quad City Speedway

by Brad Hines
East Moline, IL (May 20, 2012) – Going into this past weekend of racing Silvis’ Nate Beuseling was the leading the 2012 IMCA Late Model National Point Standings and on Sunday night at the Quad City Speedway he did his best to keep that top spot.

In the Sexton Ford IMCA Late Model feature Beuseling used 25 of the 30 laps to navigate his No. 46 machine from his ninth starting spot to first. Aledo’s LeRoy Brenner, who led the first 25 laps, would take second after holding off Mike Garland, Ray Guss Jr., and Mike Zemo Jr. The top five were all within feet of each other at the checkered flag.

Moline’s R.J. Gonzales had a dominating performance in the Extreme Auto Glass Street Stocks. The No. 39G of Gonzales led flag to flag in the feature event after winner his heat race earlier in the night. Chuck Fox came in second followed by Ron Marks Jr. (who started ninth), Rob Henry (who started tenth), and Chris Lawrence.

The Mod Lites were once again at the Quad City Speedway and once again Moline’s Shon Sanders parked his No. 4 in the winner’s circle. Sanders led all 15 laps for his second win in three weeks at QCS. Todd Cramer took second with Rob Guss, David Norton, and Anthony Guss rounding out the top five.

Jason Bahrs, of Colona, had his hands with a couple of Durbins in the Orion Tire Repair IMCA Modifieds Sunday. Bahrs was able to get by them once, coming from the ninth starting spot, and that was all he needed to do. Both Brandon and Greg Durbin were on Bahrs’ bumper throughout the 20 lap feature with Brandon taking second then Greg followed by Brian Bushong and Eric Barnes.

It took Ryan Dolan seven laps in his No. 7 to get to first in the Verplaetse Excavating A-Modified feature. Dolan would lead the rest of the way but not without a fierce challenge from Colona’s Milo Veloz Jr. who would finish second followed by John Bull, Scott Fridley, and Dustin Schram.

The Aaron’s Affordable Towing 4 Cylinders put on another entertaining feature with first year driver John Scott III taking the early lead. Just past halfway Scott III would have mechanical problems and Jacob Ellithorpe would take over the lead and go on to win followed by Eric Stogdell, Jeff Peterson, Steven Phillips, and Dustin Forbes.
