Pontoon Beach, IL (May 18, 2007) Bryan Collins of Elsberry, MO claimed his first win of the 2007 racing season at Tri-City Speedway in the Super Late Model Division. Collins, who was the 2006 Tri-City Speedway Super Late Model Track Champion, used the high side to move past early leader Craig Smith just eight laps into the event. Billy Faust, who had won the last two Super Late Model main events at Tri-City Speedway, moved in on Collins and was challenging for the lead for several laps before he got sideways in turn four and Collins opened up a half straightaway lead. Collins would take the win by a comfortable margin, Billy Faust recovered from his near spin to finish second. Tim Ratajczyk took the third spot with Craig Smith taking fourth and Mark Voigt rounded out the top five.

Mike Harrison Highland, IL held off Brent Mullins for the entire twenty lap distance to earn the Modified feature victory. Mullins and Harrison battled side by side throughout the event but once Harrison went to the top of the track in the closing laps, he took control and went on to victory. Marty Smith, Jr. claimed the third spot as he was in a three way battle with Tim Hancock and Bobby Martintoni who finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Nick Lyons of Centralia, IL took the lead from Ray Emling, Jr. at the half way point and pulled away to earn the win in the CARS Late Model division. Rylan Dagg slipped past Darin Walker in the closing laps to take the third spot. B.J. Deal would follow Walker across the line to complete the top five.

Tommy Gegg of Alton, IL held off the hard charging Ricky Huebner and claimed the victory in the Street Stock division. Josh Jackson, Sam Kizer and Robbie Benson rounded out the top five.

Rob Shaw of Highland, IL powered his Lightning McQueen themed Factory Stock car to victory as he held off his brother David Shaw. Aaron Wood took the third position, Ryan Eilers was fourth and Joshua James completed the top five.
