Aledo, IL (July 28, 2001) - For the second week in a row the Winged Three-Quarter Midget Association visited the Aledo Raceway in Aledo, IL. It marked the fourth WTQMA event at the Aledo Raceway and the first event with wings on at the track during the 2001 season.

Mike Raymond scored the win from the pole position over Robbie Ray, who previously had been the only driver to score a feature win at the Aledo Raceway this season. Raymond jumped out the lead at the start with Ray and Bill Jones following. On the fifth lap Jones got by Ray exiting turn two and set his sights on Raymond. Jones was able to pull along side Raymond several times but could not get by. With three laps remaining Jones made an effort to get by and touched wheels with Raymond sending Jones spinning towards the infield and bringing out the only caution of the event. Raymond got the jump on the restart over Ray, Danny Bradley and Bart Andrews. Raymond was able to hold on and take the win over Ray but the rest of the field would not stay the way they restarted. On the very last lap of the feature Andrews got by Bradley for third and Alex Coonan got by Brian Landrey for fifth giving the fans a thrill.

The heat races saw their usual action with Jeff Mallonee and Jones taking home wins. Ray worked his way from last to finish second in his heat behind Jeff Mallonee. Raymond also worked his way from last to finish second behind Jones in his heat. Other mentions in the heats include Shawn Scripter and Bart Andrews who both finished in the third positions.
