Rockford, IL — (June 23, 2012) — The open wheeled excitement of the Illini Racing Series Midgets lived up to its billing Saturday night, bringing the fans to their feet. Patrick Bruns applied the pressure to late race leader Lamont Critchett over the closing eight laps trying the high side, down by the infield grass and anywhere else looking for the advantage. As the white flag flew, a bobble out of turn two by Critchett opened the door for Bruns to make one more dive low for the win but it was Critchett taking the winner’s hardware back across state lines to Indiana. Fast qualifier Sean Murphy finished a strong third followed by Mike Gass and young Derrick Gough.
