Please click the link above to view a video produced by Wheelz-Short Productions from the second night of Modified Mania at Tri-City Speedway. Mark started 2nd and finished 2nd after leading the first 27 laps of the $2,000 to win 30 lapper. The car had a slight push in the middle of the corner that ultimately cost us the race; however we learned from our mistakes as we came back the next night to win the feature in a great battle with Kevin Weaver and Dennis Erb.

Mark drove an amazing racing considering the left rear trailing arm bracket broke around lap 25 of the 100 lapper. At times you can see the left rear "dancing" around as only the swing arm on the front side of the rearend was holding everything in place. Apologies as the video is not the best as the videographer (Todd Nelson) was splitting his time between the camera and signaling Mark throughout the race.

Excerpts from the first feature win in 2009 and in the new Bob Pierce late model (second night on the car). Car was wicked fast that night thanks to the strong Kuntz and Company Ford motor and Mark's ultra smooth driving of the high side. Special thanks to Dustin Jarrett, Lucas Oil Late Model Series Internet Broadcaster, for posting the video - he was passing though central IL that evening and decided to take in the action at Quincy Raceways.
