ABE’S AMBLE AND ARCA AUTO RACING CONCLUDE SUCCESSFUL 2006 ILLINOIS STATE FAIR
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Hometown favorite Justin Allgaier held-off defending champion Frank Kimmel on the final lap to win the Allen Crowe Memorial 100 Sunday at the Illinois State Fair.
Starting from the third position, Allgaier, of Springfield, Ill., edged Kimmel by seven-tenths of a second in the ARCA Re/Max series race, avenging a loss to the Clarksville, Ind., native by a nearly identical margin a year ago.
The last lap was the only lap Allgaier led all afternoon. His winning time was 72.072 miles per hour. Mark Gibson of Winder, Ga., finished third. Bob Strait, of Mokena, Ill., was fourth after leading the race for 42 of the final 43 laps.
Despite an eighth-place finish, pole-sitter Damon Lusk made track history by breaking the record qualifying time with a speed of 107.778 miles per hour. Allgaier formerly held the record, earning the pole position last year with a speed of 107.710 miles per hour.
