Tri-City Speedway
PONTOON BEACH, Ill. (July 31) - The Tri-City Speedway track crews had the 3/8 mile dirt oval in perfect shape and it provided some of the best racing of the 2009 racing season!
In the Super Late Model division, Randy Korte of Highland, Illinois stormed from the eleventh starting position to win by a car-length over Tim Manville. Mark Voigt set the pace early on as he took the lead from the pole position at the drop of the green flag. Voigt dominated the first half of the race as he opened up a five car-length lead over Kevin Cole and Manville in the early laps. Meanwhile Korte was working his way toward the front of the field. On lap twelve, Cole would clip one of the big tires used to mark the infield damaging the nose of his machine, but it didn't seem to slow him down much. Just a few laps later, Korte and Manville would dispose of Cole and move in on the leader Voigt. The three of them battled two and three wide for the lead. The battle raged on for several laps before Voigt began to fade leaving the battle between Korte and Manville. They swapped the lead back and fourth during the final two laps. Korte would get a better run off the top as they exited turn four to take the checkered flag to win by a car length. Billy Moyer, Jr. worked his way through traffic as well as he took the third spot. Rick Salter came on strong in the closing laps to take the fourth spot just ahead of Voigt.
