The Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds once again hosting the final VP Racing Fuels DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds Eastern Series event with $1,057.00 on the line for the winner. Timed hot laps set the field for the qualifiers, with Max Dolliver beating out Jason Gray for fast time at 15.787. Two from each qualifier advanced for the redraw and once again Jason Gray pulled the one plug for the pole. Gray, not needing the advantage, isn’t one to look a gift horse in the mouth, gladly took it and drove the field to the checkers on their forty-lap main event. Josh Sunn came home in second with Gray’s strongest contender in the points battle Max Dolliver crossing the line in third. Todd Buckwold fell one spot short of victory lane taking home fourth with Robert Tucker rounding out the top five.
Ricky Sanville was able to capitalize on his starting position in the Wells River Chevrolet DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes to grab his first win in over a year. Jason Gray doing double duty worked his way from mid pack to beat out Rookie contender AJ Pushee who joined the pair of veteran drivers in victory lane. Cody Gregoropoulos and dad of AJ, Ali Pushee rounded out the top five.
Will Hull in the Xtreme DIRTcar DMA Midgets was finally able to get the proverbial monkey off his back. Struggling all season with mechanical issues, he got it running and running right. Hull held off the field to make it to victory lane with his first win of the season. Brandon Piastka comes home in second with Manny Dias holding on to a narrow points lead comes home in third. John Forlano and Daniel Piastka rounded out your top five.
The High-Country Dispensary Late Models were off and will return to action on August 3rd.
The LaValley Building Supply Dirt Stocks had their fourth repeat winner with Ryan Christian making it back-to-back wins. Christian coming from the last qualifying spot worked his way to the front to get by Tyler Fellows once again who came home the bridesmaid for the second week in a row. Keith Mansur takes home third. Matt Pike and Tim Blake completed the top five. Next week is Madness night for the Dirt Stocks, where they will be going for extra money in addition to their regular purse.
In the Woodsville Power Equipment Ridge Runners Kevin LaForest didn’t let last week’s result get him down. LaForest sits solidly on top of the points battle and is now looking to rack up as many wins as he can the second half of the season. This night would be his fourth official win, making him to date, the winningest driver in the division. Katie Burroughs led most of the event and LaForest had to bide his time to get past her, Burroughs was able to hold on for second with Zach Audet coming home in third. Kelly Miller Jr. and Tim Davis rounded out the top five.
The Sprint Cars of New England (SCoNE)were in the house with a strong field of cars. A name familiar to the Ridge, but absent from podium top position, finally was able to make it all come together for a big win. Troy Comeau got by Floyd Billington who was dominate for most of the feature for the win. Billington held on for second with Nicholas Comeau coming home in third. Daiden Herbert and Jacob Williams completed the top five. SCoNE will return on August 17th on Old Timers New England Auto Racers Night Sponsored by Sabil & Sons.
