Ryan Hammar Goes Two in a Row at Beech Ridge

2013-05-09T02:37:35Z

The Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour returned to the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway this past Saturday, May 4th for the running of the Pro All Stars Series event presented by Lee Family Trailer Sales. This event is always one of the biggest of the season for the teams, as it gives them a good starting point going into the summer stretch, which includes ten races on Thursday nights. With 21 of the most competitive Legend Cars in the country, it was set to be another great race at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

In the first heat race it was the 2x of TJ Laro on the pole with Tylar Braunschweig in the 70 on the outside of the front row. The heat race ran caution free while Laro got out to a lead, but he had defending champion Matt Bourgoine in the 38 right on his bumper the whole time. The two battled hard but Laro was able to keep the lead and take the heat win over Laro. Evan Beaulieu drove from eighth to beat Anthony Pagliarulo by inches for third place.

The second heat race had the 4 of Peter Craig staring in the first position with Nelcar Tour president Terry Kirk on the outside of the front row. With Craig leading most of the way ahead of Kirk, the outside line began to work in with Ryan Hammar in the 2 car taking the lead. He would get his second heat win in a row. Alan Smith drove the 33 to a runner up finish with Matt Grant in the 84 grabbing the third position.

The 35 lap feature event presented by Lee Family Trailer Sales was up next for the 21 Legends Car field. Teammates TJ Laro and Ryan Hammar shared the front row. On the start, the outside line proved to work well for Hammar, as he got ahead of Laro with Beaulieu and Smith fighting for third. While the race ran caution free, Matt Bourgoine worked his way from the rear of the field through the field, again on the outside line. It was a great race behind the two leaders Hammar and Laro for the third spot, with Beaulieu, Bourgoine, Smith and the 51 of John Peters fighting for the final podium spot. The race ran caution free once again, as it was proved to be one of the cleanest days in Legends Car racing. Ryan Hammar drove away with his second win in a row, with Laro in second. Bourgoine got by Beaulieu with two laps remaining to grab third. Beaulieu finished fourth with Peters getting his first career top five in fifth.

With the win, Hammar is two for two in the PASS Series events this season. The Tour is back in action next weekend, Saturday, May 11th at the tight quarter mile Star Speedway in Epping, NH. Last season the Tour brought as many as 26 cars to a caution free event at the fast track, with some of the best racing of the season. Racing will kick off at 6PM. Special thanks to Lee Family Trailer Sales for their partnership at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway! For more news, info and how you can get into a Legends Car, visit Nelcar.net.

Medeiros Leads NEMA Lites to Star Saturday Night

2013-05-10T04:42:32Z

EPPING, NH — Fresh off a runner-up finish at Waterford last month, Carl Medeiros, Jr. carries momentum into Saturday night’s NEMA Lites feature at Star Speedway. “Yeah, the guys have been talking about this since Waterford,” said Medeiros. “Waterford isn’t our strongest track, considering I have the most laps there other than Seekonk, we really should be in good shape going into Star. We have our “3 in-a-row” set up in the car and that’s what was in it at Waterford.”

The Westport, MA native won four races last season, including three consecutive between Lee and Star. Medeiros tied the series records for most wins in a season (Jesse State and Anthony Nocella) and consecutive wins (2008-Jesse State). “It was an honor to get 4 in a season,” said Medeiros. “(I) never thought it was possible. Trying new things all year kept us ahead of the curve.”

Sponsors of the Medeiros #50 Stealth-Focus are Henry’s Diesel Performance, Nu-Way Auto, Just Your Way Screen Printing, and SMG Motoring.

Since it opened in 1967, Star has hosted more NEMA Midget races than any other venue. Lee and Star are core tracks for the NEMA Lites this season, as they account for eight of the 17 races. Medeiros described the tricky ¼ mile. “It’s all about getting in and getting out (of) 1 and 2. You have to carry as much speed as you can and hit your marks going down into three. Luckily Star has multiple grooves, which makes it quite racy when the sun goes down.”

2013 marks the first season for the NEMA Lites to declare a points champion. “This is going to be a crucial next 5 races,” said Medeiros. “We really need to bang out some top-5 finishes; just have to take what we can get and try to remember that we are running for points and consistency is key when running for points.”

While Medeiros predicted some contenders for Star, he was uncertain about the upcoming title hunt.

“(Avery) Stoehr will be a contender,” said Medeiros. “He is always there at the end. (Brandon) Igo will be fast as usual. (Danny) Cugini should be good. I don’t know how far Waterford will set him back. (Christian) Briggs will be fast. I think they worked the kinks out last year and to be very honest, any one of the drivers that run every race will have a shot at the title this year. The cars are very close. Whoever wins the championship this year will need a fast and consistent car, a dedicated team and some luck.”

Randy Cabral, winner at Waterford and the most recent race at Star, will not attend on Saturday. “I don’t think so,” said Cabral. “I couldn’t get my car dynoed for tech. I sent an email to ask about it and never heard back so I’m not going to spend the money to go there not to race. I’ll be in New York at Glen Ridge on Friday night.”

Star Speedway is located on Route 27 in Epping, NH. Joining the event card will be the EKeys Mods, Allen’s Outlaws, Woodys Strictlys, 6Shooters, and NELCAR Legends. Qualifying gets underway at 6:06 PM.

2013-05-12T15:59:18Z

Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Speedway was back on track under the lights for the first time in 2013 with the Xtra Mart Late Model Xtra D program on Friday night, May 10th.

In the 40-lap SK Modified® feature event, Michael Gervais, Jr. took the lead at the green with Rowan Pennink moving alongside Sean Foster in a fight for second place. Woody Pitkat and Tom Bolles were side by side for fourth place behind Pennink and Foster, while Doug Coby and Keith Rocco were side-by-side fighting for sixth. Pennink took the lead from Gervais on lap-5, but the caution came out for a multicar spin in turn 2 involving Joe Williams, Raymond Grassetti, Ted Christopher, and Tommy Membrino, Jr., putting Gervais back in front for the restart.

The field didn’t complete a lap before the caution came back out for spins by Grassetti and Membrino. Pennink took the lead on the restart with Gervais and Pitkat side by side for second. Brian Sullivan pulled off the track and came to a stop on the frontstretch to bring the caution out with 6 laps complete.

Pennink took the lead on the restart after a side-by-side lap with Pitkat. Pitkat slotted into second with Doug Coby all over his back bumper in third. Gervais and Rocco were side-by-side for fourth place, with Ryan Preece right behind them and looking for a hole to make a pass. After several laps, Coby was finally able to make a good enough run to get by Pitkat to take over second. Gervais was fourth, just in front of Preece, Rocco, Foster, Dan Avery, and Todd Owen while Pennink continued to lead the race.

Pennink had built a nice lead up over Coby, but Coby was slowly reeling Pennink back in and at lap-25, Coby was on Pennink’s back bumper. Pitkat was third by himself, with Rocco, Foster, Avery, Owen, and Danny Cates lined up in a row behind him. The caution came out with 28 laps complete as Membrino spun in turn 4.

On the restart, Gervais spun in turn 3 and collected the cars of Frank Ruocco, Membrino, and Zach Aszklar. The next restart saw Coby power by Pennink in the outside groove to take over the race lead. Pennink settled into line behind Coby with Preece, Pitkat, and Foster making up the top-5. Rocco and Owen were side by side for sixth, but Coby’s car got turned into the backstretch wall after contact from Pennink and he came to a stop backwards in turn 3 to bring the caution out with 30 laps complete. Pennink was sent to the rear of the field for the contact with Coby.

Preece was now the race leader under green but the caution came back out for Coby, who had a flat right front tire. Preece took the lead with Pitkat right behind him on the restart. Foster was third, with Rocco to his outside, but the caution came back out with 31 laps complete for a spin by Joe Williams and several other cars in turn 1.

Preece took the lead back under green with Rocco and Pitkat side by side for second. Pitkat got a bit high one lap after the restart and fell back to sixth as Rocco, Joey Cipriano, Avery, and Foster all got by. Preece now had several car lengths between himself and Rocco with 5 laps to go.

Cipriano pulled even with Rocco and he made the pass for second on lap-36. The side by side duel between Cipriano and Rocco allowed Preece to pull away even further, but aht lead was erased with 37 laps complete for a spin by Eric Berndt in turn 4.

Avery got by Cipriano to take over third, but the caution came back out with 38 laps complete for a spin by Membrino in turn 3.

Rocco was even with Preece on the restart and Avery was right behind Prece. Preece got a good run in turns 1+2 on the final lap and pulled away to the checkered flag to pick up his second consecutive win of the 2013 season. Behind Preece, the scramble was on as Rocco edged out Foster, Owen, and Frank Ruocco.

In the 35-lap Xtra Mart Xtra D Late Model feature event, Adam Gray took the lead at the green and immediately began to open up a lead over Tom Fearn in second. Jay Stuart was third, with Kevin Gambacorta behind him. J.J. Hill and Ed Ricard were side by side for fourth with Hill taking the spot. Woody Pitkat and Jim Peterson were streaking their way through the field in the early laps and were up to sixth and seventh behind Hill at the lap-10 mark of the race.

Gray was still the race leader, but Fearn and Stuart had closed the gap and the fight for the lead was now a three-car duel with Gambacorta close behind in fourth. George Nocera, Jr. spun in the middle of turns 1+2 to bring the caution out with 12 laps complete.

On the restart, Fearn got a good run to the outside of Gray but couldn’t complete a pass as Gray remained in the lead. Fearn settled into line in second just in front of Stuart. Stuart and Fearn touched coming out of turn 2, which got Stuart out of shape directly into the path of Hill, who hit Stuart and then found the backstretch wall to bring the caution out with 14 laps complete.

Gray took the lead on the restart with Gambacorta slotting into second place. Fearn was third, with Pitkat fourth and Peterson in fifth. Andrew Durand got around Peterson to take over fifth place on lap-16 while Gray continued to lead Gambacorta, Fearn, and Pitkat. Peterson would lose another position to Cory Casagrande after several more laps had clicked off the scoreboard.

With 10 laps to go, Gray was still out front with Gambacorta, Fearn, Pitkat, Durand, Casagrande, and Peterson all giving chase. The order remained the same until lap-30 when Fearn made a move to get by Gambacorta for second place. Pitkat also got by Gambacorta, dropping him from second back to fourth place, just in front of Casagrande.

Gambacorta lost two more spots on lap-33 as Casagrande and Peterson moved by to drop him out of the top-5. Back up front, Fearn and Gray were all over one another and making contact for the race lead with 2 laps to go. This allowed Pitkat to make it a three-car fight for the lead on the final lap, but Fearn lost ground heading into turn 3, which allowed Gray to take the checkered flag. Fearn held Pitkat off for third place, with Casagrande, and Peterson rounding out th top-5.

In the 20-lap SK Light Modified feature event, Joey Ferrigno took the lead at the green with Shayne Prucker, Glenn Griswold, Rich Hammann, Jay Goff, and Tony Membrino, Jr. behind him. Todd Douillard got into the turn 3 wall to bring the caution out with 2 laps complete.

Ferrigno came back strong on lap-5 and pulled back even with Prucker, but he couldn’t make a pass and settled into line behind Prucker on lap-6. Ferrigno and Prucker were again side-by-side and fighting for the lead when the caution came out with 7 laps complete for a spin by Dylan Campbell.

Ferrigno took the lead on the restart, with Membrino moving into second. Ferrigno held the lead until lap-10 when Membrino moved to the front of the field. Troy Talman was now up to third behind Ferrigno and Membrino, with Goff and Chase Dowling making up the top-5.

Membrino and Talman were side by side for the lead on the restart, with Talman getting a good run to the high side one lap after the restart to move by Membrino and take over the lead. Dowling was third behind the lead duo and Ronnie Williams was also now in the lead mix.

With 5 laps to go, Talman was the leader with Membrino taking over second after several laps of side-by-side action with Dowling. Membrino charged to the inside of Talman and he edged out front on lap-18, but Talman was hanging strong with Membrino. Dowling and Williams were staging a side by side war for third behind Talman and Membrino and the four cars were two by two coming to the white flag, but Wesley Prucker came to a stop in turn 1 with his nose in the wall to bring the caution out and set up a green white checkered finish.

Back under green, Membrino got a good run and powered into the lead down the backstretch but Talman made a move to the insdie of Membrino in turns 3+4 to retakt the lead heading to the white. Membrino came back with one final effort to the high side of Talman, but he came up just short at the start/finish line as Talman picked up his first career victory in thrilling fashion. Membrino finished second, with Williams, Dowling, and Goff rounding out the top-5.

In the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature event, Justin Bren took the lead at the green, but Andrew Hayes got some good momentum built up down the backstretch and pulled even on the outside of Bren. Bren cleared Hayes in turns 3+4 and led the first lap. D.J. Burnham got under Hayes to move into second on the second lap with Hayes settling into line in third, just ahead of Jesse Hinze, Josh Wood, and Don Wood.

In the 15-lap DARE Stock feature event, Jeremy Lavoie took the lead at the green while Doug Phelps and Fran Siana came together in turn 2 with Phelps driving over Siana’s left front.

Fluckiger was on the charge, moving into the top-5 in only 2 laps after starting in the 10th position.

Kenseth Outlasts Rain and Competition for Wild PASS South Win at South Boston

2013-05-13T15:08:17Z

Ross Kenseth took the lead from Trey Mitchell on what proved to be the final restart of the night and was up front when it counted to win the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model event at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway. In a race plagued by a constant threat of rain, Kenseth’s third career PASS South Super Late Model victory came when the event was finally halted eight laps short of the finish due to a brief shower. Kenseth becomes the ninth different winner in nine PASS South events held at South Boston dating back to 2006.

“The track was damp and we both spun our tires real bad coming to the green flag,” said Kenseth of the final restart to take the lead from Mitchell. “Kyle [Grissom] got a heck of a jump and drove hard into turn one, we hit a little bit, but with 15 or 20 to go, that’s racing. This is a real fun series to run and they called it at the right time.”

Another strong field of 31 PASS South Super Late Models took time in qualifying with defending series champion Kyle Grissom reeling off a lap of 94.631 miles per hour to set fast time for the fifth time in his career. But, in the top 10 qualifiers redraw, Grissom pulled #10 and would have to start outside row five to begin the race.

On the initial start, Wauters’ Racing teammates Tim George, Jr. and Spencer Wauters made contact in turn two sending cars everywhere as they tried to avoid an accident. On the next restart, PASS Pro Late Model driver Trevor Noles got a good start and took the lead from Trey Mitchell exiting turn two. Racing was at a fever pitch as team spotters and their drivers were in constant communication monitoring a storm cell that was approaching the speedway. With about half the field strategizing that they needed to race hard to lap 75 when the race would be official, Mitchell felt it was time to go, making an aggressive three wide move around Noles for the lead on lap 31 as they passed the lapped machine of Bill Catania.

The caution flew for the fourth time of the race on lap 51 when Wauters and rookie Cole Timm crashed hard at the end of the back straightaway. As cars began to jockey harder for position with the halfway point approaching, a rash of accidents ensued damaging several cars, including perennial contenders Preston Peltier, Brandon Ward, and others.

By lap 75, the race was official with Noles back in the lead over Mitchell. At this point, the two drivers had clearly established themselves as the drivers to beat leading every lap to that point. The seventh caution of the night waved on lap 77 when Tim George, Jr. made hard contact with the turn one wall after a spirited battle with Kenseth inside the top five. By lap 82, Mitchell was continuing to stalk Noles for the lead and would take it from him with a bold move to the outside in turns 3 and 4. The car on the move was Peltier, who had made his way back into the top 10 on lap 89 despite severe damage to the right front after an earlier incident.

Back up front, PASS South points leader Jay Fogleman was making up ground in the bottom groove, passing Noles for second with 40 laps to go. Fogleman reeled the leader in, going three wide with Mitchell and the lapped car of Clete Caywood to take the top spot with 32 laps to go. Following a hard crash by Brandon Ward and Brandon Lynn in turn one on lap 119, Fogleman and Mitchell were set to duke it out for the lead as rain drops continued to fall on their windshields. On lap 126, Mitchell caught Fogleman for the lead. He faked high and then cut down low to bypass Fogleman for the lead entering turn three.

After the ninth caution flag of the night waved on lap 134 for another hard crash on the frontstretch between Jody Measamer and Caywood, eyes once again turned to the precipitation falling from the sky. PASS officials decided to allow each team to send a crew member out to wipe off their respective car’s windshields prior to the next restart.

Coming to the green, Mitchell and Kenseth spun their tires allowing Grissom to get to the inside entering turn one. As Mitchell slid back to fifth, Kenseth edged out Grissom to take the lead. The final caution flag of the night would wave on lap 142 when Mitchell and Alex Fleming made contact while battling for fifth causing a chain reaction that saw John Batten spin in turn three and Noles spin into the inside wall on the frontstretch.

As the rains returned, PASS officials determined that the track was too wet to continue. The checkered flag waved over Kenseth and the race was called official eight laps shy of its 150 lap distance. Following Kenseth at the finish were Grissom, Fogleman, Peltier, and Kyle Moon, making his first start for Brad Keselowski Racing. With Grissom’s second place finish, he closes to within six points of Fogleman for the PASS South points lead.

“This race was just about circumstances really, just what line you were in on restarts,” said Grissom. “I was running the bottom then it got wet and lost a lot of grip.

Jamie Falconi Prepared for NEMA Lite Debut at Star

2013-05-13T16:33:19Z

Jamie Falconi of Southborough, MA will make his Northeastern Midget Association (NEMA) Lite debut Saturday night at Star Speedway. Falconi is a member of a well-known racing family that dates back to the 1940s. His grandfather John Falconi Sr. was a New England Auto Racing hall of fame car owner and promoter at Brookline, Thompson, West Peabody and Westboro. His father Rick fielded cars for the likes of Fred Borden, Joe Cast and Reino Tulonen to many wins and track championships at Brookline and Westboro. Jamie grew up around racing at Westboro Speedway, where his father worked as a handicapper, Uncle Jim worked as a flagman, Uncle John drove and his Uncle Pete was the announcer. While Westboro closed in 1985, the Falconi family has remained in racing through today fielding the #10 Late Model at Thompson Speedway for Jamie’s cousin John. Jamie works on the team as a tire changer and the team statistician. Pete Falconi has been the voice of NEMA since 2003.

“What attracted me most to the NEMA Lite division is the fact that it’s a low cost starter division, and most likely precedes the NEMA Midgets, which in my eyes is a premier racing division,” said Falconi. “They really do a good job at keeping the costs down too, and with the starters and low maintenance required, you can go racing basically without a huge crew.”

Falconi tried the First Turn Midget Driving School at Seekonk on April 28th. “It was one of the most exciting things I have ever done in my life!” said Falconi. “The cars are race ready, and provided mostly by the school and the graces of some drivers in the NEMA Midget and Lite series. The Lites are unbelievably fast. They turn on a dime, the wing makes them solid through the turns, and driving at Seekonk was a real thrill. Bob Seymour gave me some really good driving instructions, and the 4-time champ Cabral poked fun at me a little, which encouraged me to go a faster on some of the later runs. All in all, I would say it was a great time and would recommend the school to anyone wishing to sharpen their skills or get the experience of a lifetime!”

Falconi will pilot the #4 Stellar Racing Boston Hawk-Focus for Paul Scally at Star and Seekonk June 2nd. “The deal between myself and Paul came about when I asked Bob Seymour about renting a ride; he claimed to have some options in mind for me. Scally’s driver from last year moved up, away, and got his own ride, leaving him driverless and the car open for the season. While he has interest from other drivers, I have made a commitment to run the first two shows of the season to start. From there we are going to feel it out, I would like to attend at least half the shows this year but further arrangements need to be made.”

“My ultimate goal I think like any driver would be to become a professional in this field, said Falconi. “However, I believe with all the young talent these days, my age (41), and the late stage of the game for me, at this point I think I will concentrate on what we have in front of us, and settle for some fun, excitement, and maybe ultimately a trip to victory lane or two.”

“The sponsorship money for me to race is coming primarily from my own business, Stellar Apparel, which caters to the motorsports community with blank and custom racing apparel like T-shirts, Pit Crew Shirts, Hero Cards and more,” said Falconi. “So please check us out online, I am sure we can help your team with apparel, while at the same time you will be helping to support our racing efforts.“

Note: Falconi’s business, Stellar Apparel, has been a supporter of our web site for many years.

ACT Heads to Airborne Speedway

2013-05-14T18:17:49Z

The American Canadian Tour Stock Car Championship Series turns to Plattsburgh, NY’s Airborne Speedway for the ACT 100 this Saturday, May 18, marking the fourth point-counting event on the 14-race schedule.

2012 ACT Rookie of the Year Jimmy Hebert continues to show the way on the Tour, leading 8-time ACT Champion Brian Hoar by a slim margin, with defending Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr. waiting in third. The trio has taken a win apiece in the three point-counting events thus far, and now head to Airborne to settle the score.

Tiverton, RI’s Ray Parent is currently enjoying his best ACT season to date, sitting fourth overall after finishing in the top ten in every race thus far. Parent will be searching for his first ACT victory at Airborne. Veteran ACT drivers Brent Dragon and Joey Polewarczyk, Jr sit in a tie for fifth. Both drivers have previous victories at Airborne, and will look for their first win of the season to break their fifth-place deadlock. Rookie of the Year contender Bobby Therrien will be hoping to shock the veterans with an ACT victory after a hot start to his first year on the Tour.

Event Schedule

The event will also serve as the final tune-up for ACT’s Inaugural International 500 set to roll at Airborne on the weekend of July 20/21. The $140,000 event is expected to draw cars from all over the region, and is one of the richest events in Northeast stock car racing history.

The ACT 100 will roll off this Saturday, May 18 at Plattsburgh, NY’s Airborne Speedway. Post time is 5pm. Airborne’s own Modified, Renegade, Mini-Mod, and Sportsman divisions will be on hand for a full schedule of door-to-door action. Adult tickets will be $17, children 12 and under will get in free.

Rocco Aiming High In National Race

2013-05-15T02:24:44Z

Pulliam Is Early Points Leader In Whelen All-American Series

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Despite an early season injury, Keith Rocco expects to be a contender in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national point race. Rocco was the series’ 2010 national champion and placed second to Lee Pulliam for the 2012 national title. Pulliam is off to an early lead in the 2013 national point race.

Rocco, 28, of Wallingford, Conn., is maintaining a winning pace despite injury. He broke a bone near his left wrist in an SK Modified heat race accident at Waterford (Conn.) Speedbowl on April 27. After finishing fourth in that night’s feature event, he went to a hospital where the injury was diagnosed and placed in a “soft” cast. He started the following day’s SK Modified feature at Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway. Under the first caution, seven-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Mike Stefanik hopped in the car and drove it to a seventh-place finish.

With no more need for a relief driver, Rocco returned to Waterford’s Victory Lane May 4. A runner-up finish to Ryan Preece at Stafford last Friday pushed Rocco’s eight-race record for the season to four wins, six top-fives and seven top-10s. He leads the Connecticut state point race and is seventh in the national standings.

“It’s definitely hard on me, but we’re not giving up,” Rocco said. “We are absolutely not out of the running.”

NATIONAL TOP 500 STANDINGS

Pulliam took advantage of March track openings in Virginia and North Carolina and made the most of them. He’s made a series-leading 17 starts. Last weekend he posted his ninth and 10th wins of the season in two 75-lap NASCAR Late Model features at South Boston (Va.) Speedway. He ran his first NASCAR Whelen All-American Series point race of the season March 2 at Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, N.C., and got his first win on March 9 at South Boston. He later won at Southern National and Caraway Speedway in Sophia, N.C. In addition to 10 wins, Pulliam’s racing record includes 15 top-fives. Pulliam, 24, of Semora, N.C., leads South Boston’s track point race and is sixth in standings at Southern National. He leads the national standings with 586 points.

Deac McCaskill of Raleigh, N.C., is second in national standings with 487 points. His 14-race record in Late Models at South Boston and Southern National includes five wins, 10 top-fives and 13 top-10s. Tommy Lemons Jr. of Troy, N.C. is third in national standings with 453 points. Racing Late Models at South Boston, Caraway and Southern National, his 14-race record includes three wins, 11 top-fives and 13 top 10s. Anthony Anders of Easley, S.C., is ranked fourth with 415 points. He races Late Models at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway, Greenville (S.C.) Pickens Speedway, Kingsport (Tenn.) Speedway and Myrtle Beach (S.C.) Speedway. His 16-race record includes seven wins, 12 top-fives and 14 top-10s. CE Falk III, of Virginia Beach, Va., is fifth in the standings. With 10 starts at South Boston (Va.) Speedway and Langley Speedway in Hampton, Va., he has three wins and nine top-fives, finishing outside the top-10 only once. Pulliam also leads the Virginia state NASCAR standings with 353 points. Falk is second with 331 points.

Rocco is focused on getting 100-percent out of his racing efforts this year.

“I’m hungrier than ever to win. I’m racing a Late Model full-time at Waterford. The cars are just awesome. I ran in five divisions opening day and won three of them. I ran nine or 10 races in two weeks.”

Rocco leads the Waterford track point races in the both NASCAR Division I SK Modifieds and the NASCAR Division II Late Models. He also leads the Sunoco Modified division track standings at Thompson (Conn.) International Speedway. He’s third in Stafford SK Modified standings behind leader Ryan Preece and second place Todd Owen. Just 14 points separate the three.

“Things are actually looking in our favor this year,” Rocco said. “I was running the (NASCAR Whelen Modified) Tour last year and missed some weekly races. We’re strictly back in the weekly racing business.”

Over the past six years Rocco finished no lower than fourth in the national point race. In addition to his 2010 national title, he placed second in standings in 2009 and 2011-12.

Now in its 32nd season, the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series is NASCAR’s national championship program for weekly short track auto racing. There are 55 sanctioned tracks throughout the United States and Canada that participate.

A NASCAR Division I driver’s best 18 results through the Sept. 15 closing date count toward their state and national point totals and the champions are decided on overall point total. Once a driver reaches 18 starts, their point total increases incrementally as they replace some poorer runs with better results.

Under the point structure for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, a race winner receives two points for every car in the event up to 20 cars. Second place receives two fewer points and so on through the field. Race winners receive an additional five points. For example, if 20 cars are in the field, the winner receives 45 points, second place 38 and third 36. If there are 15 cars, the winner receives 35 points, second 28 and third, 26.

Track operators also designate support classes as NASCAR Divisions II-V and drivers in those divisions compete for points in the NASCAR Finalist program. The program brings added recognition to support division drivers. Points are kept separately for asphalt and dirt tracks.

PASS North Readies for Transcontinental Showdown at Autodrome Chaudiere

2013-05-15T10:57:00Z

NAPLES, ME — Throughout New England and the Canadian provinces, race fans have long argued which country had the best short track racers in North America, the United States or Canada? Thanks to the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and Quebec’s Autodrome Chaudiere, 2013 could be the year that question is finally answered.

This weekend’s Frameco 150 will kick off the first leg of the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudiere. The Autobus La Quececoise Triple Crown will feature a points fund totaling $30,000 to be awarded to the top 15 drivers who compete in all three events. Additionally, all three races at Autodrome Chaudiere will count towards the overall PASS North Super Late Model Championship. Triple Crown info page HERE

The Frameco 150 will be the first event held at Autodrome Chaudiere since the facility located in Valley Junction, Quebec was purchased by new owners Dany Lagace and Kevin Roberge. Roberge has been a part-time competitor in the PASS North series for a number of years and believes Canadian fans are ready for the full fendered excitement they will see on Saturday.

[Entries Received - Chaudiere - 5/18]
[Event Schedule - Chaudiere - 5/18]

“We have invested a lot of money into the track and welcome fans out to see the improvements we have made to the high-banked quarter mile,” said Roberge, who plans to compete as well in the Frameco 150. “The Canadian fans seem to really like the high horsepower race cars with wide tires that compete in the PASS series. We’re excited to get the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown under way this weekend.”

Hallowell, Maine’s Johnny Clark has been a mainstay with PASS since New England’s top Super Late Model tour first began back in 2001. The 6-time PASS North Champion has gone on to be one of the most respected short track drivers in North America over the last decade. Much of his success has come in Canada, capturing six of his 33 career PASS North wins “North Of The Border.” After a dismal start to the 2013 season, Clark hopes some of that Canadian magic will rear itself in the Frameco 150.

“You know, a lot of the racetracks in Canada are similar to where we race in New England and it has seemed to fit my style of driving,” said Clark, a PASS North winner at Autodrome Chaudiere in 2011. “The asphalt seems to be a little different compound than what we see at some other tracks and we have been able to adjust to it a little better than everyone else. We’ve had a terrible start to the year and we’re really focused on winning the Autobus Triple Crown. What better way to get started than with a win this weekend.”

The high stakes associated with the tremendous purse established by the Autobus La Qubecoise Triple Crown is attracting the best drivers from all over North America. Kyle Busch will race in the second leg in August and, with a winner’s share of $10,000 and an additional $20,000 up for grabs in guaranteed lap money, PASS South’s Jay Fogleman and other Southern stars are planning to compete in the final leg of the Triple Crown in September. With eyes focused on this weekend’s Frameco 150, it is easy to see why so many are excited about the upcoming “border war.”

“We’re really proud to have the prestigious Triple Crown at Chaudiere and to have it sanctioned by PASS,” said Roberge. “PASS has established itself as the place to be in short track racing and we know the fans can’t wait to see the best Americans racing against the best Canadians. It’s taken a lot of work to get here and I can’t believe it’s finally time.”

Many of the best racers in Canada have already filed entries including Patrick Laperle, Martin Latulippe, Alexandre Gingras, Marc Andre Cliché, and Donald Theetge. Matt Matheson comes to Quebec from the Canadian Maritimes and will compete against more home province drivers like Steve Cote, Alex Laabe, and Eric St. Gelais.

PASS North’s contingent of top American talent will be led by Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe, winners of an astonishing 10 titles between the two of them. They will be joined by last year’s champion, Travis Benjamin, widely regarded as one of the best when it comes to racing in Canada. Through two races so far, Joey Doiron, Cassius Clark, and DJ Shaw have dominated the headlines and look to continue their momentum. PASS North veterans Trevor Sanborn, Derek Ramstrom, Kelly Moore, Aaron Ricker, Scott Mulkern, and Richie Dearborn return as they look for an early season win. Maine drivers Michael Landry, Corey Bubar, Curtis Gerry, and Chad Dow will make the trip North as well.

Action gets under way for the Frameco 150 on Saturday when pit gates open at 10:30 AM, rotating practice for the PASS North Super Late Models and support divisions will begin at 1:15 PM, followed by qualifications at 5:45 PM and main event racing slated to begin at 7:10 PM.

The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America’s premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as the PASS Northwest Triple Crown at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval, PASS South’s Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Qubecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudiere, and the legendary TD Bank 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.

For media or marketing questions, please contact Alan Dietz at 704-231-2039 or alandietzpass@live.com.

The Hot Lap – Ray Parent

2013-05-16T12:51:50Z

The Hot Lap – Interesting News. Short Stories. Fast Facts.

Tiverton, Rhode Island’s Ray Parent made a splash on the American Canadian Tour when he captured the 4th Annual Bond Auto ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last September. The victory was his first with ACT, but that wasn’t enough for the Seekonk Speedway veteran.

During the offseason, Parent told Vermont Motorsports Magazine “I think we have more momentum going into this season than I have ever had in my whole racing career. We are at the point where we are more organized than we’ve ever been, more prepared than we’ve ever been, and in 2013, we’re hoping to give Wayne (Helliwell) a run for his money.”

On the wings of two top fives in the first three races – and zero finishes outside the top ten – Parent sits fourth in the overall standings just a few markers behind reigning ACT Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr. Parent will head into Airborne Speedway this Saturday, May 18 looking to continue his hot start to the year and remain in contention for his first ACT Championship.

Wild n Wacky Wednesday 5/15 Results

2013-05-16T12:53:49Z

Waterford, CT — Waterford Speedbowl returned to action with its second Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday program of the season on Wednesday evening. Taking down victories included Joey Ternullo of Middletown, CT in the INEX Legend Cars and Christian Eckes of Middletown, NY in the accompanying Bandolero race. Mike Trask of Plainfield scored a popular X-Car win and Mike Maskell of Quaker Hill took the Super-X Car feature. In the night’s Wacky Race, Chuck McDonald of Groton used an impressive showing to race to victory.

Ternullo was the fifth leader in the 20-lap INEX Legend Cars race by the time he reached the top spot in an ultra-competitive feature. As Ternullo slowly worked his way up from the ninth starting position, the lead position changed hands multiple times. John O’Sullivan Jr. bolted to the early lead, however he was chased down by Joey Ferrigno on lap-3. Ferrigno took over and held the top spot until Nick Sowa used the inside lane to get by him to show the way on lap-7. The first caution waved on lap-10 when David Johnson looped his car in turn four.

Sowa led after the restart but T.J. Thompson was on his rear bumper. Contact among the top two cars saw Thompson get into the turn three wall on lap-13, bringing out the second caution flag of the race with Sowa able to continue at the front after the melee.

Sowa showed the way until Angelo Belsito raced his way into contention looking to take his second consecutive win to start the Wednesday series season. Ternullo followed Belsito into second position looking to slow Belsito’s charge.

Ternullo was able to make a power move to the inside of Belsito on lap-17, finishing off the maneuver as the pair raced through turns three and four to the white flag. Belsito attempted to counter with a cross-over move, however Ternullo was too quick and slipped away. Over the final lap, Belsito was unable to mount a comeback and watched as Ternullo took the checkered flag, his first of the year. Belsito finished second while Sowa was able to hold on for third.

The 20-lap X-Car feature was a tale of two halves. Scott Limkemann jumped out ahead of the field in the early going as two and three wide racing by the field dominated the opening laps. Following the first caution flag, Limkemann had company at the front of the field. Randy Johnston and Trask moved into the top three positions behind the leader.

Trask darted outside Johnston for second on lap-9, taking the spot. He immediately went to work on Limkemann’s lead and used the inside groove to make his challenge. The pair battled for two laps before Trask got the better of Limkemann to lead lap-12. Once in the lead, Trask slowly stretched his lead to several car lengths. Trask’s path to victory had a final hurdle however, as lapped cars nearly flustered his momentum. Headed into turn three for the final time, three cars tangled just in front of the leader. Trask drifted high out of the racing groove to avoid contact, enabling Limkemann to make a final charge through the skirmish. Trask was able to drop back in the groove and hold back Limkemann to the finish line. Limkemann finished second and Mitch Bombard placed third.

Eckes won the 15-lap Bandolero feature by the slimmest of margins over Jacob Perry. Perry rallied in the outside lane following a caution on lap-10 to stay glued to Eckes as they raced door-to-door straight through the finish. Eckes held a small advantage at the white flag and held on to narrowly edge Perry at the stripe under the checkered flag. Perry’s had to settle for second while Anthony Marvin finished third. The race featured tight racing by the top pack of cars throughout.

Maskell led throughout the 20-lap Super X-Car feature. His biggest challenge came from three restarts, each time getting the better of defending division champion Jim Boyle. Boyle faded late in the race while Frank Alessio came on strong. He got to Maskell’s rear bumper on the final lap to make a bid for the win but was unable to find a way around. Maskell survived a final assault by Alessio in turns three and four to take the victory. John Yagmin finished third.

The Wacky Race featured the X-Cars compete in a hot dog eating race. McDonald made his pit stop to the Speedbowl infield early, downing two hot dogs before returning to the track ahead of his competition. He held off Brad Voglesong, who completed the event second.

The Speedbowl is back in action this Friday evening with the opening “Sho & Go at the ‘Bowl” of the season, followed by NASCAR Whelen All-American Series action on Saturday. More information on those events and the entire 2013 event schedule can be found online at Speedbowl.com.

Resurgent Trans Am Series Opens Lime Rock Park’s 2013 Season

2013-05-16T13:03:12Z

F1600/Formula F, F2000 and VSCCA races also on slate

LAKEVILLE, Conn. — Yep, we know it’s a mouthful… What’s called the Lime Rock Park Season Opener featuring Trans Am and the Sunday Royals Garage Car Show benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project is Friday through Sunday, May 24-26.

Trans Am is America’s longest-running road racing championship – it debuted in 1966 – and after a fallow few years in the mid-2000s, the series has undergone a resurgence. The Lime Rock Park entry list is now at least 28 cars long – and may reach 30 by the start of the weekend.

(Click on these links for the Weekend Schedule, the Trans Am Entry List, and the F1600 and F2000 Entry Lists.)

Lime Rock has priced the event aggressively – weekend tickets are just $30 if purchased online before midnight Friday the 17th – and for that fans not only get seven races on Saturday, it includes the $5 donation to Wounded Warriors to come see the Sunday Royals Car Show, where more than 250 tri-state car owners are expected to park their rides on newly named Sam Posey Straight. Car show entrants are expected to donate $10.

Active and retired military personnel and their immediate families pay no admission fee for any of the three days at Lime Rock.

Saturday’s 67-lap/100.5-mile Trans Am race is round three of 10. The opener was at Sebring, Fla., in early Match, won by Doug Peterson in his 3Dimensional.com Chevy Corvette, with Cliff Ebben’s Ford Mustang second and stand-out female driver Amy Ruman third, also in a Vette.

The 2012 Trans Am champion (and winner of last year’s Lime Rock race), Simon Gregg, son of the late, star-crossed road racing star Peter Gregg, finished fourth at Sebring.

In Trans Am’s fastest growing class, dubbed TA2, the winner at Sebring was Cam Lawrence in a Chevy Camaro. TA2 cars are off-the-shelf Mustangs and Camaros (and likely soon, Dodge Challengers) that provide an affordable entre into the championship.

Trans Am Round two is this weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (nee Mosport), followed immediately by Lime Rock’s round three on May 25.

Also on the Lime Rock Park slate are two races each for the Formula F/F1600 Championship and the F2000 Championship – wickedly competitive open-wheel series featuring mostly very young aspiring pros – plus two Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA) handicap races.

Valenti Modifieds Ready To Tackle Thompson on Sunday

2013-05-16T15:36:11Z

THOMPSON,CT — The Valenti Modified Racing Series heads to Thompson Speedway this Sunday for the first of three appearances this year at the storied oval. A star-studded field of drivers is expected including defending champion, Jon McKennedy.

McKennedy will make his first start of the season in a Valenti Modified. His car owner, Art Barry, has been sidelined due to illness but he has improved enough to where he not only plans to field a car but fully intends to be at the track. “I’ve got enough guys to put a team together and I’m really looking forward to it,” said the long-time car owner.

The last time the Valenti Modified Racing Series was at Thompson was during the Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing last October. Rowan Pennink claimed the 75-lap victory and the current VMRS point leader will be looking for a repeat win. That, however, will be a tall order for the Pennsylvania driver who will face stiff competition from a host of extremely competitive VRMS race teams.

Steve Masse won the VRMS season opener and will be joined by such racing stars as Ted Christopher, Louie Mechalides, Tommy Barrett, Chris Pasteryak, Mike Holdridge, Todd Owen, Richard Savary and many more.

An autograph session with VMRS drivers has been scheduled for 3:45 Sunday afternoon. Fans are urged to bring an item to be autographed or they can select and ideal item at the track’s Race Day Apparel trailer or the photo booth. Cameras are also encouraged.

Thompson’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions will also be in competition. After his Icebreaker victory, Keith Rocco is the Sunoco Modified point leader. Veteran Kerry Malone sits second in the standings and he is followed by Woody Pitkat, Ryan Preece and Todd Ceravolo. The Sunoco Modifieds will be featured in a 30-lap main event.

Glenn Boss will lead the Late Model division and Cam McDermott heads the field of Lite Modifieds. The Xtra Mart Limited Sportsman point leader is four time champion Larry Barnett with the Monster Mini Stock division topped by Scott Michalski.

All of these drivers will be faced with tough competition from the many talented race teams and drivers in each of Thompson’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions

Grandstands open at 11 AM, practice at Noon and the first qualifying race of the day is set for shortly after 2 PM. The entire day’s schedule of events is posted on the Thompson web page. www.thompsonspeedway.com.

Veteran ACT Drivers Look for Edge at Airborne

2013-05-17T14:10:44Z

This Saturday, May 18 the American Canadian Tour will head to Plattsburgh, NY’s Airborne Speedway for the ACT 100: a race that will pit an experienced veteran class against ACT’s latest youth movement.

Point leader Jimmy Hebert and fourth-place point man Ray Parent will make just their second trip to Airborne Speedway in their ACT careers, but both earned top ten finishes when they debuted at the track in last year’s season finale. They make their return in brand new cars in 2013, and look to continue the hottest start of their ACT careers.

Defending ACT Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr. has only raced with ACT twice at Airborne Speedway, claiming a fourth in his first try, and famously winning his first ACT title in last year’s finale with a victory in his second start. Airborne has been good to Helliwell, but veterans Brian Hoar and Brent Dragon will look to make use of their years of experience to dethrone the Champ. Hoar leads all ACT drivers with 7 victories at Airborne, while leading the most laps (723), and making the most money ($31,857). Dragon, on the other hand, has tamed the track for a series-leading 26 top tens in 34 starts.

Not to be counted out is former Fall Foliage 200 winner Joey Polewarczyk, Jr., who, in his last four attempts at Airborne, has an average finish of 3.5 including his 2011 victory. Polewarczyk comes into Saturday’s showdown tied with Dragon for fifth overall in the ACT standings.

Post time for the ACT 100 is 5pm this Saturday, May 18. The race will be part of a full card of racing action including Airborne’s own Modified, Renegade, Mini-Mod, and Sportsman divisions. Adult tickets are $17, children 12 and under are free.

Reigning VMRS Champion McKennedy to Make First Start of 2013 Campaign

2013-05-19T04:47:28Z

McKennedy Returns to Thompson in Art Barry’s #21

Jon McKennedy, the 3-time and reigning Valenti Modified Racing Series champion, will make his first start of the season on Sunday. The Chelmsford, MA driver will pilot Art Barry’s #21 SPAFCO machine at Thompson. “We’re going to see if we can get up there and get a good run out of it,” car owner Art Barry said.

For 2013, McKennedy is not pursuing a fourth series championship in favor of driving an ISMA Supermodified full-time. He will be driving Paul and Helen Dunigan’s #79 car this season. He finished seventh in the season opener as Oswego, NY Speedway earlier this month.

“The Supers are something I’ve always liked,” McKennedy said. “I spent a few years in the Modifieds. I got a good opportunity with the Super. It is time to do something different.” He went on to say, “The plan is to run the Super full time. We’re running for a championship in the Super and just run as many Modified races as I can on the off weeks. I hope to run a few of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races. Hopefully the right opportunity, something will come up and I can run a few of those races. But there aren’t that many great rides (available).”

“I’ve been fortunate to have a few good people help me over the years and I’ve been in good quality rides. That helps a lot. I feel that I put a lot of effort into it. You only get what you put into it. It’s a lot of work to be able to adapt to both cars and run good.”

McKennedy will continue to drive Barry’s Modified as his schedule permits. “It’s tough to say really, ” McKennedy said. “The original plan going into the season was to race all the Modified races that didn’t conflict with ISMA. It ended up being 12-13 races, but Art Barry’s had a couple of health issues. It sidelined everything for the first couple of races. We’re going to run Thompson since he’s starting to feel better. Who knows we might run more this year together or might not? It all depends on how he feels.”

“There’s a lot of them that we could run (VMRS races); now whether my health is going to allow me is the big thing right now, ” Barry said. “(I’m) trying to find help because I can’t do a whole lot myself. Fortunately, I had the car just about done before this all came down but I’d like to run as many as I could.” Barry said of his health, “It’s definitely better but it’s just going to take time to get over it. But we’re coming along.”

A win would provide a morale boost to Barry after some recent health issues. “Art’s a racer,” McKennedy said. “He’s been around it for many many years and when I raced for him last year we had a race or two that didn’t go too well. He understood and he just knows racing. So to be able to run good or get a win that would be awesome, but at the same time, in racing you never know what can happen. Art’s one of those guys whose been around long enough where if it didn’t happen the way we planned, then we just move on and try harder the next race.”

McKennedy has won at every active track on the VMRS except Thompson. He has never won at six tracks. Airborne, Albany-Saratoga, and Wiscasset only hosted the series once, while he never competed at White Mountain. He finished 10th at Thunder Road, which hosted three races. “I think I’ve won at all the tracks on the MRS schedule except Thompson,” McKennedy said. “That certainly would be cool to accomplish, to say you’ve won at all the different tracks. They’re all so unique. .. We’ll see what happens Sunday. I’m certainly going to drive hard and hope things go our way.”

McKennedy leads all drivers at Thompson with six top-10s and is tied for most top-5s with five. In last year’s World Series, McKennedy recorded a career-best 2nd. “I’ve always run well at Thompson,” McKennedy said. “(I’ve) had a bunch of top-5s; never had a win in a Modified. … It would be nice to win up there. We’ve come close, but never been able to get that first place yet.”

Barry added, “If anybody can do it, he can. He’s good. He’s got a lot of patience and he knows when to go and when not to.”

“You look at all the drivers that run well there, they have a lot of laps, whether it’s in an SK or Whelen Tour races,” McKennedy said. “Some drivers go there and they struggle, coming from the quarter-mile tracks or the one-third mile tracks. They normally don’t have a lot of experience on a 5/8 mile or ½ mile; there’s certainly a good amount of cars up front with drivers that run really well. Usually the ones that have got a lot of laps and run there quite a bit. There’s probably 10-12 cars that run pretty strong there.”

Since his 2006 debut, McKennedy has run the VMRS full-time only 3 times, winning the championship each time. “I’ve had a lot of success,” McKennedy said. “The 3 years we ran it full time, we won the championship all 3 times. It’s been a good series for me.” The VMRS also does not allow new tires to be put on during the race. McKennedy called it “a challenge in itself-trying to go fast and maintain the tires.”

NEAR Hall of Fame car owner Art Barry has fielded Modifieds for over five decades. Art Barry was involved with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour from its first season, 1985 through 2009. Over the years, Bobby Santos, Sr., George Summers, Jeff Fuller, Mike McLaughlin, Mike Ewanitsko, Jerry Marquis, Rick Fuller have driven for him. Mike Stefanik won back to back WMT championships in 2001-02. In August 2003, Stefanik scored Barry’s final NASCAR WMT victory and most recent Thompson win. Barry last competed on the NASCAR WMT in 2009 with Richard Savary and McKennedy.

Barry noted a difference between the two regional Modified series. “It’s low key more than the Tour is and it’s a lot less expensive, that’s for sure. The Tour- I really enjoy running the Tour and I would love to run it again but that’s out of my league right now. It costs so much to run it; I just can’t do it.”

Given the struggles in some of the support divisions Barry advised, “I definitely think it is if they can keep the expenses down is what they got to do. They got to stop these guys from spending these big big dollars and slow things down a little if they have to. But they got to watch out because the economy is not that good but I think if they try to keep the costs down, which the MRS is trying to do, especially with tires. … That will help.”

With McKennedy’s three wins and only one finish outside the top-10, Barry and McKennedy were crowned VMRS champions last season. Barry became the first car owner to win a championship in the NASCAR WMT and VMRS. “It was very rewarding to do that with him especially with a new driver right off the bat, but it clicked good right from the beginning,” Barry said. “But to have another championship under our belts felt very good.” Barry knows of the additional attention that his team will receive. “It sure doesn’t hurt that’s for sure. How much pressure will be on us once we get racing, I really don’t know. It’s kind of hard to say, but were just going to go and do what we were doing and try to do the best we can.”

The reigning championship team will have a different look this season. The team has returned to the #21 that Barry fielded for many years. “When I stopped Modified Tour racing and went to the MRS, the number was already gone,” Barry said. “But the number became available again this year. So they gave it back to me, which I’m kind of happy about.”

“I’ve seen the car it looks really sharp,” added McKennedy. “It’s got a pretty cool paint scheme on it with the old #21 on the back. That alone will probably bring a bit of attention.”

Barry was pleased to hear about the $10,000 that the champion will receive at the end of this season. “I didn’t know they raised the point fund at the end of the year because it was only $5, 000 last year. But that’s great for the series. They need it.”

When asked if Pennink’s recent dominance at Thompson made him more determined, he said, “Absolutely. The competition is getting tougher in the MRS; it’s not getting any easier. Rowan Pennink, he runs real good and he’s a hard competitor. So we just got to make sure we’ve got all of our ducks in a row here.”

Sunday’s program includes the 75-lap Valenti Modified Racing Series feature and 5 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Divisions: Sunoco Modifieds (30 laps), Late Models (25 Laps), Lite Modifieds (20 Laps), Ltd. Sportsman (20 Laps), Mini Stocks (15 Laps).Grandstands open at 11 AM. Qualifying begins at 2:20 PM, with the VMRS finale starting at 5:30 PM. Paddock admission is $35. Adult grandstand admission is $25.00. Juniors are $5.00.
