The Midwest TQ Racing League presented by Jenmarco.com begins a hectic stretch of six races in nineteen days on Thursday night at the Rush County Fairgrounds.
The 1/6th mile Rushville, Ind. oval has a long history of action-packed, side-by-side racing and this year should be no different. The MTQRL will be showcasing the three-quarter midgets on both Thursday and Friday at the Rush County Fair with a return trip scheduled for the Fourth of July. At the Rush County Fair on June 25th and 26th practice is scheduled for 6:30 pm followed by qualifications. Racing will begin at 7:30 pm with the Jackson Oil & Solvents Duel for Fuel. Pit passes are $25 for all ages (minors must have both parents signatures to enter the restricted pit area) and adult general admission is $10, children 6-12 are $2, and 5 and under are free. After three races in a row at Rushville, the MTQRL will head to the Shelby County Fair in Shelbyville, Ind. on July 10th. The following night, July 11th, the MTQRL TQ’s will be the support series for the USAC sprint cars at the Kokomo Speedway in Kokomo, Ind. This Indiana Sprint Week event will allow the MTQRL to compete in front of its largest crowd of the season. The MTQRL county fair circuit concludes on Tuesday July 14th at the Bartholomew County Fair. This race is billed as “Tony Stewart Foundation Night at the Races” and the MTQRL is looking to make this a fun evening for all, and to raise awareness for the Tony Stewart Foundation in Tony’s hometown of Columbus, Ind. With sponsors such as Armstrong Garage Doors, Inc. already on board, this race will pay a minimum of $500 to win and $125 to start. Anyone interested in providing additional sponsorship for this event please contact Ronnie Combs at the track or Sandy Lowe at mtqrl.pr@gmail.com.

Wow! In my +50 years attending races at that track I can't remember a more exciting feature. Rookie Callie Wolsiffer (2nd) looks to be an outstanding racing talent with a bright future. Last nights finish was Joey Paxon, Callie Wolsiffer, Ron Combs and Tate Martz. Wolsiffer after leading the most laps muscled her way past Combs out of turn 4 to the checkered flag for 2nd place.

Racing was great even as rough as it was. Wish we would've had more cars. Anxious to see if we can make it two in a row tonight.
