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.
