Bradford, Vt. July 4, 2010
Fireworks were everywhere Saturday night at the Bear Ridge Speedway for The Home Depot and Noise 'R' Us Fireworks sponsored night.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets victory lane was filled with old and new faces, as Thomas Placey #22 Bradford VT working from the back took advantage of the couple of cautions that waved and made his way to the front to claim another win. Coming home in second was last week's feature winner Eric Lang #66 Groton VT. Last year's Rookie of the year, has had a rough go of it so far this year, but it appears that for now the monkey may be gone from Don Reynolds #87 Springfield VT as he came home with his best finish yet in the final victory lane spot third.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series Journal Opinion Fast Fours the man to beat continues to be Josh Sunn #11 White River Jct VT. Sunn once again crossed the line in first claiming yet another win with Mark Harran #57 St Johnsbury VT in second and Andy Johnson #25 Wilder VT in third.
It was Madness night for the 99Rock weekly racing series A Notch Above Limited Late Models and while the fields may be small some weeks, tonight the field and the laps were big. 52 laps were brought in for the twelve machines for their event which turned into three seventeen lap segments. A lost radiator would take Tyler Stygles out of contention for segment one. Leaving Will Hull to claim the first segment. Segment two would see Will Hull leaving on the hook and the door open for Jeremy Hodge to claim the win. All three were back for the third and final segment, which was claimed by Tyler Stygles. The overall top three were Jeremy Hodge #17 Newbury VT, TC Forward #14 Lyme NH and Robbie Williams #7.
For the 99ROCK weekly racing series Wells River Chevrolet B Coupes Gene Pierson #44 E Corinth VT continues to set sail on the rest of the field coming home to claim his second victory in as many weeks. This division is seeing full field car counts, and with it more competition on hand for all who compete. Being able to make it victory lane is the goal of all, and when you make it, it always feels good. While others are finding it frustrating at times. Pierson was happy to be at the front end of Victory lane with Shane Race #22 Strafford VT in second and brother Melvin Pierson #33 E Corinth VT in third.
The 99ROCK weekly racing series the Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds Adam Pierson #15 Fairlee VT wasn’t about to let dad and uncle have all the glory for the night and was able to get to the front to claim the win. Coming home in second with his best finish of the year for the youngest driver in this division was #51 Justin Comes Middlebury VT, claiming the final victory lane spot was Brian King #X Corinth VT.
