Gehrke Wins D II Midget Race at Quincy
Quincy, IL– Chett Gehrke took the POWRi Lucas Oil ILLINI Division II Midget Series feature event at Quincy Raceways for night two of Illinois SPEED Week. Leading every single lap of the 20 lap main event, Gehrke had 13 laps in the books before cautions began to plague him. Andy Malpocker ran second until lap 16 when Patrick Bruns was able to move past him and into the second position. Malpocker ended up taking final podium position.
“This place is fun,” Chett Gehrke said. “A lot better than little Belleville. I hate that place and last night it probably showed. As good as I did last night, I was about to go home.”
“Little short,” said Patrick Bruns. “Chett Gehrke is one of the best in the business. To run second to him tonight, no shame in that. I had a lot of fun. I’m proud of my POWRi team and what they’ve done with this D II series. MWR has worked on all three of these motors; it’s an MWR victory lane, so I’m proud of that.”
“I tried to make a move on Chett and Patrick did a good job on getting around me,” Andy Malpocker said. “Congrats to Chett on picking up the win tonight. I want to thank MWR engines.”
