Lavoie Conquers Super
Stock Showdown...Fans once
again got their money's worth when the high-bank racers would put on
a show to remember. Hot temperatures from the sun and humidity would
not stop fans from coming to watch their local favorites. Cub Scout
pack #33 from Jaffrey New Hampshire would proudly display our
countries colors as Donna Dutton sang our National Anthem.
The young guns
stepped up and racers were doubled up to take the green. The caution
would wave on lap 9 sending JT Cloutier into the pits with right
front damage. When the checkered flag flew it was a Adam Manley
victorious over Joe Boivin, last week’s winner, and Cordell Colon.
Mini Stocks would
see their share of cautions with racers anxious to gain every
spot. A lap five caution came when the right front wheel of the #5
Volkswagen came off. During the caution point’s leader Tim Jackson
would be shown the black flag as his rear bumper cover was coming
off. Jackson would go into the pits and come right back out mended
to race some more. At lap thirteen Jackson would make his way
through the field to battle Joey Kendall for the lead. A lap fifteen
caution would tighten things up and the #9 of Richard Abbott would
go up in steam in turn one. On lap 19 Jackson would grab the lead
and take his record 6th victory of this season. Kendall would hold
on for second and Eric DeJackome would fight off challengers to
finish third.
New England Race
Trucks traveling series would take to the track for a fifteen lap
feature. On lap eight a caution waved for contact between the #16 of
Willy Archmoody and the #83 of Gee Perry. That would end Perry's
night. Andy Lindeman, who seems to have the track dialed in, would
extend his lead while a battle for 2nd, 3rd and 4th would have fans
on their feet. As Lindeman easily finished first, it took a moment
to figure out who finished second and third as three cars came
across the finish line side by side. Lindeman finished on top and
then Archmoody followed by Dan Butler.
Tonight was the
ultimate in Super Stock Division competition as the 35 lap Super
Stock Show Down would prove to provide drama and head to head
competition. On the first lap contact between Bill Johnston and
Nancy Muni caused the first caution to come out. Trying to put one
lap in the books Johnston, Bates and Eddie Brehio III would bang
around on the back stretch. On lap two Geoff Rollins would come off
the track with wheel damage to the left front, and Eddie Brehio Jr
would have contact with the front stretch wall sending both to the
pits. Rollins was unable to return but Brehio Jr. would make his way
back. On the next restart the #44 of Brian Chapin earned the top
spot, until passed on lap 11 by John Lavoie. The next caution would
be shown on lap seventeen after the 135 of Peter "the Travelin’ Man"
Fiandaca would slow on the track. Lavioe, the race leader, would
make hard contact with the rear of Fiandaca ending Peter's night and
almost taking himself out. The caution came out again on lap 27 when
Stewart Wheelden, trying to get to the pits, stalls on the pit road
entrance. On the restart #37 of Bill Johnston would take the lead
but on lap twenty-eight the #7 of Joe Bates and #03 of Andy Brooks
Jr connected. When the dust settled Bates would be black flagged for
rough riding and sent off while Brooks was towed off. When the
pieces were collected and the sheet metal ironed out Lavioe would be
the winner followed by Nick Boivin and Bill Johnston.
The tour type
modifieds were next for their 50 lap feature. Flagmen Chan Stevens
spun the caution for hot laps to begin and then doubled them up for
the green. A lap nine caution would wave when Mark McClay and Rusty
Ball had contact. This lap would also see the #88 of Jim Boniface
head to the pits not to return. Boniface, during a post race
interview, stated he had ignition related issues but would be back
on Tuesday. When the checkered flag flew Kirk Alexander would take
the win, followed by Victor Johnson and Bryan Shumway.
Full Size Enduros
would conclude the night’s events. The only red flag of the race
came when the 145 would be sent off after dragging his exhaust and
not adhering to the black flag. After 50 laps of hard racing the win
would be taken down by the #79 of Ryan Rivet followed in second by
#47 of Scott Gerini and third to the A7 of Barry Schonborg. In a
post race inspection, Scott Gerini was disqualified for rules
infraction.
NASCAR 30 Day Temporary License...DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (July
13, 2010) – NASCAR announced today the
implementation of a 30-day membership license option for the NASCAR
Whelen All-American Series, a move geared towards helping out
competitors who look to become involved during the second half of
the season. The licenses will be available beginning July 15, 2010,
at NASCAR Whelen All-American Series sanctioned tracks, and will
cover Feature Division, Charger Division, Learners Permits and crew
member licenses. “This is something our tracks told us is an
important intermediate step to be available for them to offer
potential new competitors,” said George Silbermann, NASCAR managing
director of racing operations. “The NASCAR Whelen All-American
Series membership brings with it a number of advantages, from the
involvement in the season-ending points fund, competing for state
and national championships, to our industry-leading medical and
accident coverage insurance. “We feel the ability to offer these
types of benefits for drivers or crew who may be getting a late
start to the season but who still wish to compete in NASCAR events
during the second half of the year, or who may be testing the waters
at season’s end with an eye towards next year, is key to helping our
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series tracks continue to put on the
high-level of competition our fans have come to expect.” Holders of
a 30-day license may upgrade to a full-year license at any time
during the 30-calendar-day period, and apply the cost of the initial
license to the full-year fee. Only drivers with a full-year
membership will be eligible for season-ending points fund
distribution and other season-long awards.
Revised 2010 Mud Bog Event Schedule...Due
to some of the Speedway's Mud
Bog events conflicting with other Mud Bog Events in the area, Monadnock Speedway
has revised the 2010 season. The Sunday Series event dates set for this year
are as follows: June 6th, June 20th, July 11th, July 25th, August
8th, September 5th, October 3rd and
October 24th. The August 22nd & September 26th dates were
eliminated due to Mud Bog Boogie and the Vermonster 4x4 event. The
October 10th was moved to October 3rd due to the Monson Hill Climb
and Drags. The Speedway will hold a practice day for all Mud Bog
divisions on Sunday, May 16th! The practice rounds will start
at 11am. There will be a $20 practice fee and will include as many
rounds as we can get in. The $20 fee only applies to the competitor,
all others will be free and the public is welcome to come and watch. Registration and more information will be posted
at a future date.
