Ewing, Crowder Victorious At Macon

MACON, Ill. — On Monday, Dakota Ewing won the Decatur Building Trades Pro Late Model race, and Alan Crowder scored the BillingsleyRewards.com Modifieds win at Macon Speedway. 

In the modified feature, Crowder was positioned for a solid top-five finish with Jacob Steinkoenig running away during the consecutive green flag lap series.

Steinkoenig had the group close in on a restart on lap 34. Three laps later, Jeremy Nichols closed the gap and ran together with Steinkoenig. Nichols attempted to slide job Steinkoenig and closed him into the turn four concrete wall.

Steinkoenig’s night would end on the back of the tow truck after a dominate start. Nichols, the second place driver, would be sent to the back of the 20-car field for bringing out the yellow and ending the leader’s night.

That gifted Austin Lynn into the lead. Lynn would look ready to assume the win but Crowder started to inch closer to the leader. Running on the top was Crowder’s best line, and he powered past Lynn with five laps remaining, holding on for a 50-lap feature win.

Dakota Ewing used his patience to wait out Chase Osterhoff for the lead spot during the pro late model feature. The first 30 laps were Osterhoff’s to lead but Ewing took to the bottom of the track to gain the advantage.

Ewing would lead the final 19 laps and gap the field to the checkered flag. Timmy Dick moved past Osterhoff for a second place finish.

Guy Taylor picked up his second pro modified feature win of the season.

Zane Reitz from Indiana came back to the Macon Speedway winner’s circle during the 15-lap 51 Bistro Street Stock feature race. 

Aarik Andruskevitch raced his way to the checkered flag by running the top side in a caution-less Micro Sprint feature race.

The night concluded with Jimmy Dutflinger taking the top spot in the Hornets feature.
