MTQRL Season Finale Saturday at Brownstown Speedway’s “Funfest”

The Midwest TQ Racing League presented by Jenmarco.com will close out their 2014 race season this weekend at the Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Ind. As part of the track’s annual “Funfest”, a 4-day racing extravaganza, the MTQRL three-quarter midgets will race on Saturday October 11th.

Prior to the MTQRL three-quarter midgets and super late models hitting the track that evening, afternoon activities include a swap meet, memorabilia auction, lawn mower derby and roll over contest. For information on additional “Funfest” activities, and other classes competing, please visit www.brownstownspeedway.com.




CODY KIEWITT, 1,189 points


The 2014 MTQRL Championship is still up for grabs with four drivers mathematically alive for the title. Point leader Cody Kiewitt will eliminate two drivers, defending champion Nick Speidel and Ronnie Combs, when he hits the track for practice. That will leave the point battle as a two-man race between Kiewitt and Matt Arrington. Kiewitt holds a 72-point lead over Arrington and can clinch his first MTQRL championship if he starts his heat race and finishes ninth or better in the feature. If Kiewitt is able to win his heat, the title will be his with a seventeenth place feature finish.

Along with the season championship, the Indy Race Parts Hard Charger title will also be decided. Aaron Percell, last year’s Tony Stewart Racing Rookie of the Year, leads the standings by 12 points over Matthew Hedrick and Tate Martz. To overtake Percell those drivers will have to start deep in the field and score a high feature finish since a point is awarded for each position gained from the original posted starting lineup.

Saturday’s race will mark the nineteenth event of the season although only twelve features have been run. Three races were completely lost to weather and two others were rained out before racing could begin. One date was also lost when the Gas City I-69 Speedway ended its season prematurely.




MATT ARRINGTON, 1,117 points


Brett Hankins is the MTQRL’s most recent winner on September 20th at the Shelby County Fairgrounds. Combs and Speidel have combined for the most wins (three each), followed by Hankins and Arrington who have each won a pair. Single features have been won by Tate Martz and Logan Arnold.

If Martz can win on Saturday, he will become the first driver in MTQRL history to compile twenty feature wins. A victory by Speidel will tie Martz atop the all-time winners list with nineteen.

Saturday pit passes are $30 and general admission is $20. All cars are required to pay a $20 entry fee (as per the promoter) and all cars and drivers must be properly licensed and registered with the MTQRL. The MTQRL is offering an end of season special with reduced driver license and car registrations fees ($25 each).

The MTQRL pill draw will be open from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The track has a drivers meeting scheduled for 5:30 pm, followed by practice at 5:45 pm, and racing to immediately follow.

UPDATE FOR SATURDAY'S RACE AT BROWNSTOWN

Since rain has washed out most of Thursday's and all of Friday's Funfest program, the weekend schedule has been changed. These changes should not have much of an affect on the MTQRL portion of the program.

Brownstown Speedway's plan is for the remaining 8 Trick or Treat races from Thursday night to start at 10:00 am Saturday. Once those are completed they will move on to the Friday portion of Funfest which includes a complete sprint and King of the TQ's show, along with heat races only for the crate late models, modifieds, super stocks, pure stocks, hornets, bombers and mini stocks/pro trucks.

Once those heat races are finished they will start with the Saturday show which includes a complete MTQRL and super late model show along with B mains and features for the other 7 classes.

The MTQRL draw will remain unchanged and be held from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. A $20 entry fee will be collected when you draw so make sure and bring that with you. Everyone who races with the MTQRL will have to pay the entry fee (as per the promoter).

It is your responsibility to draw. You need to find us, we will not be able to walk around and find you.

The MTQRL heat races will begin no sooner than 6:00 pm and the entire MTQRL portion of the race will be completed on Saturday.

Please be aware that weather/track conditions may push back this timetable. If I find out there are definite changes I will post an update as soon as possible.
