That's what's great about IOW. Even the breaking news on TV has a 7 second delay. Here, you get it right as it is happening.

Re: Who's running at Lincoln, Illinois tonight?
 

Yes it's Bell.

Windom will be there

14 cars so far Stanbrough, Bell Windom Babb and our own Ben Andres. Go Ben!

I know that Tyler Shoemaker is there and that Mitch Wissmiller and Steve Thomas were planning on going.

Windom wins followed by Bell Wismiller Babb and Andretti. Thanks Monica!

The number in (parentheses) is the starting position:

Heat #1: #67 Christopher Bell (3), #1 Mitch Wissmiller (5), #6B Andy Baugh (1), #88 Terry Babb (8), #12 Chris Gurley (6), #95 Manny Rockhold(4), #25 Levi Curry (7), #27A Ben Andres (5).

Heat #2: #18 Jarrett Andretti, #99W Cory Weyant (7), #38P Seth Parker (6), #21X Chris Windom (8), #20 Steve Thomas (5), not running at finish #1T Tyler Shoemaker, #42 Cory Bruns, #13 orange car from Mississippi for which I could never catch the drivers name - help?

Feature: #21 Windom (7), #67 Bell (1), #1 Wissmiller (2), #88 Babb (6), #18 Andretti (4), #36P Parker (5), #12 Gurley (9), #99W Weyant (3), #6B Baugh (8). Sorry, I didn't get the rest of it.

I thought Mitch Wissmiller did a great job of holding off Bell and Windom for 24 laps with a motor which sounded somewhat unhealthy. In the support races, in the class for 4 cylinder front-wheel drive cars, the leader managed to get into turn 1 too hot and turned the car over. First we saw that both left side wheels were in the air and then it just kept going. Couldn't believe it. And for those concerned about when the sprint feature would run, they ran 11 heat races and three features and I was back in the van at 8:59. I didn't stay for the last two features, but that gives you an idea of how fast they run the races off in Lincoln. If you haven't been, I really recommend you go.

Bell got the lead at the start and ran the bottom till Wismiller,even with a sick sounding engine flew by on the outside. He lead till about lap 20 or so then sliders started to be traded between Bell and Wismiller,and also Windom in the mix. Windom finally slid his way to the lead,and the win.

Pretty well run program. Heats started at 7:07 and were done about 1 hr later. Went straight into features,with the sprints being 3rd run,and I walked out the gate at 9:04PM. I had thought about watching the other classes,which I normally dont do,but the wind had picked up by then,so I called it a night.

I cant wait for Illinois Midget week there! Also thanks for running the non wing sprints,and letting us know on the message board beforehand. I might not have heard about it otherwise.

Frank beat me out the gate by a few minutes even!

Norm and Yvonne wants to say thanks to everyone that showed up for tonight's races at Lincoln Speedway and hope everyone had a good time. We will keep you posted on the next sprint or midget show's we have. Thanks again.

I wish the promoters luck but also wish they would bring in more sprint shows, the race last night proved how good a USAC or MSCS show would b there, instead the track gets killed off with crate late models and midifieds and no one in the stands, being a central Illinois sprint fan and living within 25 minutes of the track I will only be in attendance two more times this year and that sucks, I love that track, can't wait for poweri race in August.

Great race last night , 1st time there but it won't be the last . 5 classes and still done by 9:30. Was nice to meet Norm ( the promoter ) and Kidrock , ( A GOOD PR PERSON FOR THE TRACK . Thanks again for a great show .

Re: Who's running at Lincoln, Illinois tonight?
 

Triston Tidwell was the 13 from Mississippi.

Also Tommy Rockwell in 95...not Manny Rockhold (unless they pulled a switch at the last minute).

Cool to see John Andretti's son on dirt. Following in his fathers footsteps

I fully agree. Not nearly enough openwheel racing in Central Illinois. Even Illinois Midget Week is thin on dates. Hopefully the rumor's with the Knoxville track go through. If so, that will be a very good addition to racing in Illinois.

Re: Who's running at Lincoln, Illinois tonight?
 

mowerman, it was a pleasure to meet you as well and glad to hear you enjoyed the racing last night. We look forward to having you back at the track. Thanks again for stopping by.

Re: Who's running at Lincoln, Illinois tonight?
 

Dont forget that POWRi has a Illinois Midget week race there in June too............

Re: Who's running at Lincoln, Illinois tonight?

Thanks for the info. I have no idea where that blast from the past came from. Showing my age, I guess. It's not like I haven't watched Tommy a bunch of times over the years. My apologies.
