Galesburg Speedway was able to get the entire show in this past Saturday night, as Mother Nauutre lurked all night long. With the season winding down, the racing action was really heating up, and all divisions showed it Saturday night.
In the late Model division, Luke Krick started the night holding on tight to a 22 point lead over defending Points Champion, Scott Rugg. Neither Krick or Rugg had an answer for the No.7 of Jeff Bozell. Bozell not only won the heat race, but led the feature twice, on his way to his first feature win of the '09 season ( third win overall ). Rugg would hold off Krick for the second place finish, keeping the points race as tight as possible heading into the Season Championship night. Marc Casey held off Adam VanAvery for the fourth place finish.
" The car was good on the outside, I had to take out two rounds, and the car came to life ", said Bozell, after the race.

Foote became the first driver of the '09 season to win the feature in two different divisions. Chris Garrett was the runner-up, as points leader, Matt Frazier, finished third. Rick McMullen held off Josh Trammell for the fourth place finish.

In the dash, Brent Webster got his first ever dash win at the Burg ( second win overall ). Gary Mellinger won the heat race.
In the Mini-Stock division, Garry Janow II tried to hang on to his slim lead in the points race over Mike Govier and Jeremy Collins. Janow was able to distance himself a bit, but Championship nigh will be exciting to watch in this division. Dustin Kline made his way to the front of the pack, and distanced himself from the rest of the pack, on his way to his second feature win of the season. Janow fought hard to take second away from Wayne Kline, while Govier held off Collins for fourth.
" The handling was great at the begining until the toe was knocked out. I just tried to drive away as much as I could ",said Kline, after the race.
Kline went on to thank his grandfather ( Wayne ) and Al's Engines for their help and support.
