MORRIS, Ill. — Looking to be on his way to another track championship, Eddie Hoffman won the 30-lap late model stock car feature race at Grundy County Speedway Friday night.
The seven-time late model titlist from Wheaton, Ill., guided his Feece Oil Co.-sponsored Chevrolet No. 8 to his third feature win of the season, his 153rd career win. Fastest qualifier in the late model ranks, Hoffman held a 0.503-second lead over Tony Brutti at the checkered flag. Â
Dave Gentile Jr., Steve Seligman and Clay Curts rounded out the top five.
Another division points leader, Kenny Benson was the winner of the 25-lap sportsman main event. Nailing down his fifth win of the year, Benson bested fast qualifier Jeremiah Senko, Kevin Murphy, Marqus Hoover and Vince Cooper.Â
Another driver seemingly rolling to a track championship, Matt Chester came home the winner of the 25-lap street stock feature. Chester scored his seventh win of the season in front of Darrell Gay, fast timer Cameron Preisler, Sal Lozano and Jonathan Stevens. Â
Gavin Legner won the 20-lap pure stock (four-cylinder) headliner, defeating Ethan Wolf and Danielle Dobczyk.Â
Travis Mahoney was the winner of the feature race for the Midwest Mayhem Midgets, scoring his fourth consecutive win. Earlier in the evening, Mahoney, a second-generation driver from Madison, Wis., set fast time in his Liberty Village-sponsored open-wheeler and then raced to victory in the 20-lap main event ahead of six-time midget champion Scott Koerner, Chris Adrien, Mike Slabenak Jr. and Basil Hicks.Â
