Ryan Christian becomes third repeat winner in the Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Mods
Points Battle tights up in the Weglarz Property Service Four Cylinders

For Immediate Release BRS-090316-1

BRADFORD, VT – Valley Floors of Bradford night brings an overflowing pit of over a 120 cars for the Ridges annual Racing against Cancer Benefit night and topless night for those who dared. We thank everyone for their support of our chosen nonprofit benefit nights and to the drivers who gave the fans a treat by taking of their roofs if they could.
An early mishap changed the whole dynamics of the DIRTcar Sabil & Sons Sportsman Modifieds main event, allowing for some fresh faces in victory lane. Josh Currier held the point for the first three quarters of the event and was hoping to be able to add his name to the repeat winner’s list, but tonight would not be the night. Ryan Christian with the same thought in mind was able to overtake Currier on lap twenty five and sail on to his second win of the season. Todd Buckwold your current rookie contender points leader came home to finish in second behind Christian with Richie Simmons the man on the move in only his third showing this season in the mods coming home in the final victory lane spot third. Steve Flint and rookie Lenny Pillsbury rounded out the top five.
In the DIRTcar Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes a division with an abundance of winners sees this week recording it’s fourth repeat winner of the season with Matt Ellsworth crossing the finish line first over the pack. Twelve different drivers have claimed the checkers in this division showing just how talented you gotta be to finish on top. Ellsworth is one of those twelve and now is in the double winners club with his victory Saturday night. Jason Colbeth will have to wait another week to join the club as he fell short of the first place spot coming home in second. Michael Danforth would join the two in victory lane coming home in third. Earl Maxham and Bob Shepard rounded out the top five.
The Laquerre Sports USAC DMA Midgets were off this week and will return on the seventeenth to compete in the last two nights of the season. The seventeenth and the twenty fourth.
Wayland Childs gets his second win appears to have figured it out in the Mike Rivers Automotive Limited Late Models as he once again beat out Tim Martin and Derrick Stearns for the top victory lane spot with his second win in a row the third for the season. John Fields and John Neddo switched the fourth and fifth place spots from last week with Fields taking fourth and Neddo crossing the line in Fifth.
Buddy Welch can add his name to the repeat winners club as well in the Weglarz Property Service Four Cylinders. In grabbing the win he puts himself in the thick of the tightest points battle at the Ridge. He sits a mere four points behind the leader Mike Ryan who is only one point ahead of Jesse Durkee. With only two weeks left for this division this one will be coming down to the wire. Joining Welch in victory lane this week were Jim Durkee and Danny Doyle. Mike Ryan and Jesse Durkee rounded out the top five.
There were 39 cars in the pits for the fourth 4/6 cylinder Enduro of the season. When they hit the track for their seventy five lap main event everyone knew it would be a whale of a show. If you weren’t in the stands watching you could hear the excitement as the crowd Ohhed and Wowed. The event was red flagged only once to clear out some debris as it was getting too congested in certain areas of the track for good safe racing. When racing resumed it was Matt Boucher for the win yet again over Erik Lundblad and Ryan Deliabru. Frank Putney and Brody Poitras rounded out the top five.
The Sprint Cars of New England were on hand for their next to last event of the season. Topless night is scheduled for this event to add SCoNE to the lineup of topless, but they choose not to participate a disappointment for the fans. With the wings on it was the same fast paced event with Chris Donnelly, back in double duty in the Mods and Sprints coming home for the win. Chad Turck grabbed second with Kevin Chaffee also doing double duty coming home in third. Dan Douville and Luke Greenwood completed the top five.
