Bradford, Vt. July 18, 2010
The 99ROCK weekly racing series midseason championship night offered great racing for the fans on Mekkelsen RV night at the Bear Ridge Speedway.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets Thomas Placey #22 Bradford VT took the lead on lap four, and cruised on to claim his third win of the season, helping to solidify his points lead. Following Placey was Eric Lang #66 Groton VT, with his third runner up position in a row. The final victory lane spot would be filled with a first time visitor in 2010 Scott Keithan #57
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series Journal Opinion Fast Fours Josh Sunn #11 White River Jct VT actually had to work for this week's win, as it came down to the final lap and the final turn before he was able to claim the lead. Sunn only led the one lap in this event, beating Tim Hodge #2. Mark Harran #57 St Johnsbury VT still looking for his first win would cross the line in third.
The 99Rock weekly racing series A Notch Above Limited Late Models main event was slowed by only one caution, which was of no help to the field as they worked to catch Tyler Stygles #50 Bradford VT. Following Stygles in second was Will Hull #61 E Montpelier VT and Jason Blake #07 Moretown VT in third.
For the 99ROCK weekly racing series Wells River Chevrolet B Coupes the cautions continue to plague this division, as they just can't seem to get it together. Their event would be slowed with a record 9 cautions and when the dust finally settled the lucky man on top was Shane Race #22 Strafford VT. Working him hard and the two swapping the lead for several laps was Jeremy Stygles #68 Bradford VT who would have to settle for the runner up spot. The final victory lane spot was claimed by Gene Pierson #44 E Corinth VT.
It was a history making night for one lucky driver in the 99ROCK weekly racing series Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds. Every driver hopes to achieve the coveted triple crown at the Ridge, by winning their head race, semi feature, and main event. Before tonight none have had the honors of claiming one this year. This would all change when the checkers waved on the main event with Adam Pierson #15 Fairlee VT crossing the line first. This is Pierson's first triple crown in his career, and he was beaming from ear to ear in victory lane. Accompanying Pierson to the top of the pack was Jason Gray #00 E Thetford VT in second and Danny Eastman #3 Thetford Ctr VT in third.
The Granite State Mini Sprints were in town once again. The top three in the 600cc were: #75 , #37 , #11 . The top three in the 500cc were: #33 Lacey , #05 , #6 .
The Weglarz Property Service and Excavation mind race leader award winners for Wells River Savings Bank night were:#37 Mike Chapin in the KDD Ridge Runner Hornets and #10 Steve Bell in the Wells River Chevrolet Coupes.
