Sunday Report

The 17th running of the Rock Island Grand Prix will go down in the books as another historic event. Battling through tough weather conditions on Saturday, the Rock Island, Illinois city streets were covered with bright sunshine and clear skies for a perfect day for racing. Fourteen categories took to the track, half qualifying during their warm-up sessions in the morning, and setting up for the spectacular main events in the afternoon. The interesting part about the feature races was how much the tech barn was involved in deciding the outcome. In the headline categories, three were decided on the track with one during inspection. Sam Beasley started out the day, claiming his second straight TaG Senior title and $5,000. After years of trying, Derek Crockett finally conquered the Rock with his first King of the Streets title. Mike Giessen scored the debut win in the Pro Open category with Caleb Loniewski advancing to first place in Yamaha SuperCan Medium for $4,000.
