Bradford, Vt. August 8, 2010
There was something for everyone on the Interstate Battery of Newmont and JTB Towing and Recovery sponsored night at Bear Ridge Speedway with antique tractors, spectator drags, ACOT, and Phil Scott VT State Senator behind the wheel of a Sportsman Modified.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets tires were the theme this night with several guys experiencing flats and some loosing the wheel all together. By lap sixteen Thomas Placey #22 Bradford VT had worked his way to the front keeping all four tires on and round and went on to take home the win. Following Placey in second was Mike Ryan #86 Chelsea VT with the third and final victory lane spot going to Don Reynolds #87 Springfield VT with his second best finish of the season.
For the 99ROCK weekly racing series Journal Opinion Fast Fours it seems that Tim Hodge #2 Vershire VT is the man to beat of late. The first half of the year was all Josh Sunn #11 White River Jct VT but the second half is being domiated by Hodge, who was able to get to the front in record time and cruise on for his third win of the season. Sunn was able to work his way up to second but would run out of laps before being able to set any challenge on Hodge. The third and final victory lane spot was claimed by Kevin Harran #57 St Johnsbury Ctr VT.
The 99Rock weekly racing series A Notch Above Limited Late Models finally got it all tonight, with enough cars to have their first semi of the year and driver introductions afforded those on hand to compete. TC Forward #14 Lyme NH finished one position short in his heat race from winning the triple crown, bringing home the checkers in the semi and able to distance himself from the rest of field in the main event to cruise in for the win. Troy Comeau #89 Rumney NH was able to make it home in second with Tyler Stygles #50 Bradford VT coming home in third.
For the 99ROCK weekly racing series Wells River Chevrolet B Coupes Melvin Pierson #33 East Corinth VT has finally gotten the monkey off his back. After a couple of cautions early on for a wild ride by Robert Tucker who rolled his machine in mid air in turn two landing on all four wheels, brother Melvin coming from mid pack took the lead half way thru the race and held off brother Gene for the win. Gene Pierson #44 E Corinth VT was unable to set any serious challenge on bother Melvin and would settle for the runner up spot this night. Coming home in the third and final victory lane spot was Shane Race #22 Strafford VT.
The 99ROCK weekly racing series Bond Auto Parts Sportsman Modifieds saw Adam Pierson #15 Fairlee VT strut his stuff, as he did it the hard way, working from the back of the pack to claim the lead with 3 to go from Jeffrey Elliott #06 Benton NH who started on pole and go on for the win. Elliott by virtue of the sole pole position restarts was able to service the cautions only to see Pierson fly by. Elliott was able to hold on to second for his best finish of the season, with Jack Cook #1nh Moultonboro NH coming home in third.
Melissa King #99 E Corinth VT continues to dominate the Hornet Queens coming home with yet another win. The second place spot was claimed by Marissa Osgood with the third and final victory lane spot going to Misty Bell.
