Pontoon Beach, IL (June 5, 2005) A busy and action packed night of racing was on tap at Tri-City Speedway, with three feature events having to be made up from the previous week after rain shortened the program last Sunday. The Missouri/Illinois Dodge Dealer's late afternoon racing action kicked off with the makeup UMP Modified feature which delivered a great battle for the lead over the entire twenty laps. Tim Hancock led the early laps before Bobby Bittle made the pass for the lead using the middle groove. Hancock would slip back to third as Bobby Martintoni moved into the second position and gave Bittle a battle for the top spot. A caution with five laps remaining tightened up the field and Hancock slipped back past Martintoni for the second position and then posted a challenge of Bittle for the lead. But Bittle was too strong at the end and claimed the victory. Hancock took the second spot. Ray Walsh powered past Martintoni to claim third, Martintoni took fourth and Jim Lafferty rounded out the top five.

Dennis Wernle put on a dominating performance in the Sportsman makeup feature. Jimmy Cummins made a late race challenge for the top spot but rolled across the line in the second position. Don Patton strong performance brought him home in the third position with Brandon Hogenson and Bryan Slover rounding out the top five.

Sam Kizer took advantage of a late race mechanical problem suffered by Kenny Daiker to claim the Street Stock makeup feature event. On the restart after a caution with just two laps remaining, Daiker's car stalled at the drop of the green flag allowing Kizer to motor into the lead and on to victory. Daiker recovered in time to salvage the second position. Josh Jackson, Mark Pflueger and Darrel Morey completed the top five.

Once the makeup features were completed, the night's regular program kicked off. Once again it was Bobby Bittle roaring to the checkered flag in the UMP Modified main event. Bittle once again used the middle groove to most past the leader which was Ray Walsh this time. Walsh and Bittle raced side by side for several laps before Bittle finally cleared the pass. Walsh kept the pressure on Bittle for the remainder of the event but was unable to find a way back around Bittle and crossed the finish line in the second position. Jim Lafferty had another solid run and took the third spot. Tommie Seets, Jr. took the fourth spot with Tim Hancock taking fifth.

In the UMP Late Model division, Steve Sheppard passed pole sitter Clay Baumann on lap ten and dominated the remainder of the event enroute to the victory. Baumann, who had won his qualifying heat and the dash by a huge margain, slipped backed to the third position when Mike Bryant worked his way past in the final laps. The second place finish was by far Bryant's best outing in his rookie late model season. Michael Kloos too the fourth spot with Mike Hammerle rounding out the top five.

Dennis Wernle doubled up in the Sportsman division as he won the night's regular scheduled main event to complete the sweep in both feature events. Jimmy Cummins rolled across the line with his second consecutive second place finish. Bryan Slover took the third spot with Don Patton fourth and Brandon Hogenson fifth.

Brad Yotter took the win in the second Street Stock feature. Yotter led all fifteen laps enroute to the win as he held off Sam Kizer to prevent Kizer from completing the sweep in both Street Stock features. Kevin Dunham came home third with Dennis Ponder fourth and Jason Stanton fifth.

Aaron Wood took the Factory Stock feature over Ralph Bradford. Jeremy Fort, Keith Rose and Ken Bell completed the top five.
