Pontoon Beach, IL (April 27, 2007) The new 3/8 mile track at Tri-City Speedway provided the fans with a great night of racing as the main events in all five divisions wasn't decided until the final laps.

The Super Late Model division saw a classic battle up front between Randy Korte, Billy Faust and Bryan Collins. Korte led most of the early going before Collins made a move in lapped traffic to take over the top spot. The three continued side-by-side racing and weaving through lapped traffic before Billy Faust got by Collins in lapped traffic. All 3 cross the line for the checkered flag together with Billy Faust taking the win. Collins came home in the second position with Korte taking third. Mark Faust charged through the field to a fourth place finish with Billy Laycock rounding out the top five.

Darin Walker came from the eighth starting spot to win the Crate American Racing Series Late Model feature! Nick Lyons led for most of the event but Walker worked his way through traffic and took the lead from Lyons in the closing laps to earn the win. Lyons settled for the second spot with Aaron Heck taking third, Ron Sensel came home fourth and Rylan Dagg completed the top five.

In the Modified division, what a battle with Bobby Martintoni, Brent Mullins, Matt Mevert & Marty Smith, Jr. Those four race side-by-side, two-by-two and three wide for the lead for almost the entire twenty lap distance. Unfortunately Smith got the flat near the end after just taking over the top spot. Martintoni held off everyone at the end to claim the victory. Brent Mullins crossed the line second, with Matt Mevert third. Ray Walsh and Tim Hancock stormed through the field as they came from the ninteenth and twentieth starting spots to finish fourth and fifth!

The Street Stock battle for the win was awesome as well. There were five cars battling for the lead for all fifteen laps. The race wasn't decided until they reached the finish line with Josh Jackson and Richie Gabriel crossing the line in a photo finish! Jackson finished with just a bumper out in front of Gabriel to earn the win. Andy Beavers crossed the line in third, with Tommy Gegg finishing fourth and Ricky Huebner completed the top five.

Ryan Eilers picked up his second straight Factory Stock win as he battled with David and Rob Shaw for the top spot. Eilers and David Shaw swapped the lead several times in the closing laps, but in the end, Eilers held on to take the victory. David Shaw was second, Rob Shaw third, Joshua James fourth and Evan Johnson fifth.
