NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace found out 9:30 p.m. Wednesday that there were races Thursday night at Peoria Speedway.
But Wallace made it to the track on time and won a hard-fought Modified race with Donovan Lodge.
?I come to Peoria because I really like this little racetrack,? said Wallace, who was making his third appearance here this year. ?I found out (about the race) on Twitter.?
Wallace had his car set up for the high groove and first battled Erik Bruce, who faded, and then Lodge until the end.
?I committed myself up there,? said Wallace, who had lost to Kenny Schrader earlier this year by not running high. ?I just didn?t want to get beat up there again. I had my car set up to run up there so I was going to live or die up there.
?It was a good win for us. What a finish.?
Wallace had plenty of compliments for Lodge.
?We beat on each other and nobody spun each other out,? he said. ?(Lodge) did a hell of a job.?
Bruce finished third and Billy Tuckwell fourth.
Jason Feger won the 30-lap Late Model feature, passing Brian Shirley on lap 10.
?Brian just got caught up in lapped traffic ? he picked the wrong line,? said Feger. ?Sometimes it?s easier being second than leading there.
?The car was really good all night ? he just got the jump on me at the start.?
Ryan Unzicker finished third, Bobby Pierce fourth and Tim Lance fifth.
Rob Bauman Sr. won the crash-filled Limited Late Model feature, leading all 15 laps. Kenny Egan was second.
?I?d like to thank my son (Robbie Jr.) and (Late Model driver) Kevin Weaver ? Kevin Weaver has really helped him this year and they?ve helped me get running good.?
Jeremy Kingsley bested Tyler Benson in the Hornet feature ? and had no brakes in the feature.
?It?s a good thing I was out front and there were no accidents,? he said.
