Taylor Wheels Modified To Macon Score

MACON, Ill. – Guy Taylor is at it again. 

Taylor led all 15 laps in the pro modified feature race, wheeling his pro modified into victory lane at Macon Speedway.

During the feature race with a tenth place starting position, Taylor looked like a lock for a top five finish. Then things started to happen.

On the restart during lap 16, leader Tim Luttrell was challenged by second place driver Jared Thomas. As they got together, Thomas got loosened up and fell midway through the field of 22-starting cars. As the flag laps started to come, Taylor’s car worked its way to the front to take the lead on lap 19 and then be the first across the finish a lap later. 

The Bistro 51 Street Stocks race went to Zane Reitz, winning the Bruce Dulgar Classic.

A couple of champions and long-time drivers matched up toe-to-toe in the Weddle Performance Engines Sportsman division feature. Dennis Vandermeersch and Wes O’Dell were giving it all they had to put on a show and also go for the checkered flag. Vandermeersch looked locked in for the trophy but O’Dell got things together and made a run at the leader. Vandermeersch powered forward and claimed his fourth feature win of 2022.

The Decatur Building Trades Pro Late Model feature was another race that was filled with late passing and a strong finish as Jose Parga made it number four on the year.

Hayden Harvey has had a tough season but put together a good night in the Micro Sprints Presented by Bailey Chassis, earning the win.

The night’s racing was capped off with a small field of Hornets but an exciting race was shown as Brady Reed scored the victory.
