Made a stop by the Peoria Speedway early on my way to photograph Bradley University soccer. I arrived around 4:00pm and wandered thru the pit area as the big haulers were unloading for the Northern All-Stars Summernationals race. I got a few driver shots including NASCAR star Kenny Schrader as they were getting ready for hot laps. Having not lost at Peoria Speedway since July, Steve Lance Jr. knew he had a challenge as NALMS rolled into the track Thursday night. With a star-studded field on hand, Jason Feger jumped to the high side as the green flew and out-gunned Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame member Billy Moyer going into turn 1 ,but Moyer pulled even on the front stretch. Feger then rim-rode through tuns 1 and 2 and dove to the bottom to take the lead. Moyer contuned to work the bottom, but Lance, Jr. blew by on the top coming out of turn 2 on lap 10 to take second. Kenny Schrader survived 6 caution flags and a demo derby behind him, going flag-to-flag for the win in the UMP Modifieds.

The driver of the Caterpillar Racing #31 Spint Cup race car  Jeff Burton made a visit to O’Brien Field. The Richard Childress Racing driver, in town Thursday to sign autographs and meet fans at the Peoria Chiefs game, has no poles, wins, top fives or even top 10′s in 14 races this season and he’s 25th in points. Jeff took a break from all of that Thursday when he threw out the first pitch at the Chiefs game.
