High of 79 . 0 percent chance of rain partly cloudy , beautiful day for some midget racing ! Welcome to quincy if ur coming. . Hope u enjoy ur time here .

Dirt - Thanks for all you have done to help us promote this race. What is going to be cool about tonight's event is watching the eyes light up of some of our great regular fans who have never seen a midget race before - especially on a little bullring. At our April POWRi race in Jacksonville, we had some of our Quincy staff come over and watch midgets for the first time. Of course that was the night where Keith's 3 cars sliced, diced and slid each other in an incredible race, but we haven't been able to get our Quincy guys to quit talking about it since... or wipe the smile off their faces.

Pull me aside and introduce yourself tonight. I know you've been looking forward to this show at your home track. Hope it turns into a great one.

Weather looks great today and the midgets should put on a real good show tonight. I plan on getting to the track at around four.

That race was quite possibly the BEST race I have EVER seen !

It has been the best race i've seen this year so far.

Thanks to Precision Plating of Quincy for putting up $100 for a hard charger award in tonight's midget feature.

Hope a lot of you show up to show these late model , bomber obsessed people what real racing and REAL RACE FANS are all about !!!

Just saw that they were taking the weekend off and getting ready for Indiana midget week

That's what Thorson told me after the race . Getting everything ready for indiana .

Quincy, IL. - Darren Hagen of Riverside, California came from his fifth place starting position to take his second POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series win of 2014 and Frank Flud of Pryor, Oklahoma battled Chris Openshaw to take his first career POWRi Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micro Series victory at the semi-banked ¼ mile Quincy Raceway.

The event held at Quincy Raceway is the first of four straight nights of racing for the 2014 Illinois SPEED week. Teams will travel to Lincoln Speedway in Lincoln, IL on Friday, June 6th and then to Macon Speedway in Macon, IL on Saturday, June 7th. The Illinois SPEED Week finale will take place at Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville, IL on Sunday, June 8th.

Pole-sitter Michael Pickens of Auckland, New Zealand would take command at the drop of the green flag, while Darren Hagen would begin to work his way towards the front until the caution for the spun car of Garret Aitken slowed his charge. Piloting the RFMS owned-DRC Chassis, Pickens would be slid by Tyler Thomas entering turn one on the restart, but Pickens would return the favor in turn three, resulting in Thomas sliding over the banking and off the track bringing out the third caution.

When racing resumed, current second place driver Brad Mosen of Auckland, New Zealand would battle Darren Hagen. Hagen's chase after Mosen would be slowed when Andy Malpocker spun after making contact with another car in turns three and four. Following the caution, green flag racing would be short lived as Brad Mosen would bring out the first red flag of the feature upon making contact with one of the infield tires exiting turn four and flipping his racecar, collecting Terry Babb, Jason McDougal, Jacob Patton, and Nick Bailey. Mosen would be ok, but the damage to his car was extensive enough to end his evening.

Upon inheriting the second position due to Mosen's misfortune, Hagen would challenge Pickens on the restart with both drivers using every bit of the ragged-edged cushion in turns three and four. As Pickens and Hagen would begin to encounter lap traffic, Hagen would take point and never look back. As Hagen, Pickens, and Zach Daum began to lap cars, Jason McDougal would be pushed off the edge of the track in turn three and ended up flipping, bringing out the second red of the feature event. McDougal would be ok, but done for the remainder of the event.

When racing resumed, Hagen would pull away while Tanner Thorson of Minden, Nevada driving a RFMS owned- DRC would battle teammate Pickens for the second position. The duo would make contact in turns one and two, resulting in Pickens coming to an abrupt halt in which his engine would catch fire ending his night. Pickens would be ok. When racing resumed, Darren Hagen would lead the field to the checkered, followed by second place finisher Tanner Thorson, and third place finisher Zach Daum of Pocahontas, Illinois. "It's good to get another podium," said Daum.

"These guys worked their butts off to give me a great car," explained a pleased second place finisher, Tanner Thorson.

"I've got to give props to my crew chief," said a victorious Hagen. "This guy's one of the best in the country; and to the rest of my team as well. I can't thank Great Clips, Shane Hmiel and the rest of my sponsors enough."

Driving his Metric Cycles, Engler-injected, Sawyer Chassis, Frank Flud battled pole-sitter Chris Openshaw from the drop of the green flag to take home his first career POWRi Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micro Series victory. "These guys are top caliber," said an excited Flud. "I know we run with them at the shootout, but the shootout is a different animal. I wanted to come here and know that I could run with anybody. Scott Sawyer's happy, Mike Ross is happy. I know they're both smiling and I'm smiling. I've got so many sponsors to thank; it's unreal what it took to get here to this point."

Chris Openshaw took the second position for a career-best finish. "We would have liked to get the win," said Openshaw. "But it's really pretty awesome to get a second place."

Rounding out the top three was Travis Senter of Osceola, Arkansas coming from the tenth position. "Where else can you go race on a Thursday night," explained a pleased Travis Senter. "Great fans, great race track, we're glad to be here."
