Peoria, Illinois (October 20, 2019)………Jeff Sparks collected his first career USAC Engler IMRA Speed2 Midget victory Saturday night at Peoria Speedway in Peoria, Ill.
Sparks (Lincoln, Ill.) started from the pole and led all 20 laps of the main, but not without a challenge as Bryan Stanfill (Brea, Calif.) pressured Sparks for much of the first half of the feature. Following a lap 12 caution, Will Armitage, Tyler Roth and point leader Andy Baugh entered the fray along with Stanfill as Sparks held strong up front.
A red flag for Russell Johnston on the final lap created a one-lap dash to the finish. Sparks held off the pursuit of both Baugh and Armitage entering the first turn on the ensuing restart. Sparks then raced away to the victory over Baugh, Armitage, Tyler Roth and Brent Burrows.
