BRADFORD, VT – Veteran Mike Gendron put on a clinic Saturday Night at Bear Ridge Speedway, winning the 40-lap, non-stop, Bond Auto DIRTcar Sportsman Modified feature as well as his heat and the Extra Points Semi Feature for the rare Triple Crown. Gendron took full advantage of his front row starting position, a result of mechanical problems on opening night, rolling to the win. Adam Pierson and Kevin Chaffee swapped the second position numerous times over the last ten laps with Pierson prevailing and Chaffee a close third.
Earl Maxham Jr simply dominated the Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes’ on the sponsor’s night, leading every lap to take a dominating win. Teddy Salomaa finished a solid second with Jason Colbeth claiming third after a torrid battle with Bob Shepard and Tim Hodge

James Fadden finished second after leading early with Matt Lashua completing the top three.
The Weglarz Property Service/F.M.S. Auto Parts Four Cylinder Feature saw Matt Boucher take the lead from Jesse Durkee on lap Six and go on to the win. Don Reynolds finished second with Rookie Justin Severance claiming his second third place finish in as many weeks.
The Granite State Mini-Sprints were also on hand with Matt Hoyt besting Brent Warren and Shawn King in the 500cc Class. JT Descoteaux topped Tony Shaw in the 600cc’s.
