Bradford, Vt. August 1, 2010
The Perry's Oil Service sponsored night at Bear Ridge Speedway offered plenty of hot racing excitement with new and old faces making it to victory lane.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets a new face made its way to the front of the pack. When Jesse Smith #8 Topsham VT took the lead away from Brad Martin #34 Thomaston CT just before half way and held off the hard fought challenges of Thomas Placey #22 Bradford VT on the final lap to claim his first win of the season. Placey coming from deep in the pack would have to settle for the runner up position with Martin holding on to third.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series Journal Opinion Fast Fours Tim Hodge #2 made a last lap charge and took the lead away from Josh Sunn #11 White River Jct VT to go on for his second win in as many weeks. Coming home in the final victory lane spot for his first victory lane visit of the season was Robert Tilden #14 E Thetford VT.
The 99Rock weekly racing series A Notch Above Limited Late Models continue to see car counts on the increase and continued great racing excitement for all to see. Coming from the third place spot Jeremy Hodge was able to get to the front and go on to take the checkers for his fourth time this season. Troy Comeau #89 Rumney NH in his second trip to the Ridge this season, has made it two for two on his trips to victory lane, making his way from mid pack to claim the second place spot. The third and final victory lane spot went to TC Forward #14 Lyme NH.
For the 99ROCK weekly racing series Wells River Chevrolet B Coupes the points battle has become an intense one with not one but two Pierson brothers at the top vying for the crown. Melvin Pierson has been at the top of the heap for a while now, but a ride off the track on the hook saw his points lead go by the wayside to no one other than his brother, who not only took the top of the heap for this week, but did it the hard way on the outside as he worked his way to the front of the pack to take the lead from Jason Horniak #3 Bradford VT. Horniak was able to hold on to second, with Gene Pierson #44 Corinth VT taking home the checkers. The third and final victory lane spot was claimed by Josh Harrington #71 Topsham VT.
The 99ROCk weekly racing series Bond Auto Parts Sportsman Modifieds found a new face in victory lane. Well new to this division, but not new to the Ridge, it seems for some that winning is like riding a bike, you never forget and after only five weeks Jim Morgan #17 Woodstock VT to remind the rest of the contenders that he does know his way around the track coming home the winner when the checkers waved. Gary Siemons #5 Orford NH was unable to set any serious challenge to Morgan and would have to settle for the bridesmaid position this week. Siemons sat in third for several laps, but a late race bobble by Derek Graham #10 Woodsville NH gave Siemons the brake he needed to get to the runner up spot. Graham a Rookie in the Modifieds, and the this his first season being in a race car was able to hold off the hard fought challenges of Jason Gray to make it to victory lane in the third place spot for the second time this year.
The Hornet Queens were on hand for their makeup race from the J&A Lawncare and Boudreault Septic night, and once again Melissa King #99 E Corinth VT was able to take the lead and go on for the win over Kelly Marshia #86 and Donna Racine #24. The Queens will be back again this Saturday night for their regular scheduled event.
The Weglarz Property Service and Excavation mind race leader award winners for J&A Lawncare Boudreault Septic night were:#07 Jason Blake in the A Notch Above Limited Late Models.
