Epping, NH –Triple 50-lap Super late Model
feature events were the highlight of the night at All-Star
Speedway on Saturday, with local favorite J.R. Baril defending
the home turf to pick up the big payday. Despite a couple of rain delays that
interrupted the action, track officials managed to get the
racing surface back in shape quickly enough to squeeze in the
entire race program.
Baril opened up the action with a win in the first 50-lap
segment, and the overall win was his to lose from there. Ted Christopher invaded All-Star in search of
the big bucks in the Cushman Racing entry, but his runner-up
finish in the opener was his best of the night, and although he
was in the thick of it after a fourth place run in the middle
segment, an eighth in the finale ended his shot at the overall
win. Russ Hersey made his first All-Star
appearance of the season a good one, grabbing third place honors
in the opener to put in his bid, but a seventh and a fourth in
the other two segments just weren’t enough to get the job done. Jay Sands stepped up and grabbed the win in
the second segment after collecting fifth place in the first
race, taking the lead from race-long point man Ron Bolduc on lap
31 on the way to victory.
Bolduc held on for second, with Dean Pettey, Christopher,
and Hudson next. At the end of the second 50-lapper, Baril was
sixth in the rundown, but he bounced back with his second win of
the night in the third and final round, and the overall win was
his. Eric Hudson
tallied second for the night, with Jay Sands, Russ Hersey, and
Ted Christopher rounding out the top five. The All-Star Modifieds continued the chase
for the 2008 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series championship,
with veteran Bruce Batchelder taking down a convincing win in
the Leon Holmes Excavating machine. Mike Ordway, Jr. continued to make strides
with his new ride, jumping out to the lead at the drop of the
green, and staying out front for the first several laps before
yielding to the hard-charging Batchelder. Once he got past Ordway, Batchelder
immediately began to pull away from the field, opening up as
much as a straightaway lead on the pack.
Ordway hung on to second until well past halfway, but he
eventually lost a few spots in the late laps and ended up fifth. Up front meanwhile, Batchelder was all
business, and he stormed to the checkers to take down the win.
Points leader Louie Mechalides scored a solid runner-up,
with Josh Cantara, Jacob Dore, Ordway, Luke Royea, Henry Stampfl,
Brett Gonyaw, Rusty Ball, and Brandee Tree finishing up the top
ten. Rookie Super Street competitor Chris Lee had
the race of his young career on Saturday, picking up the lead
from Randy Tetreault on lap seven, and holding off a couple of
the divisions toughest competitors, his father Sandy Lee, and
Lee Weldy, to grab his first career Super Street checker. The three drivers also just happen to be
teammates out of the Jim Daley stables, and this was the first
podium sweep for the team this season.
Chris, Sandy and Lee finished one-two-three for Team
Daley, with Tim Casey, Jr., Chuck Dehney, Tetreault, Nick
Gravel, Rob DeAlmeida, Chris Sullivan, and Rob MacRae following
in the fourth Daley machine. Gary Beauregard led flag-to-flag for the win
in the Strictly Stock feature event, but it wasn’t as easy as it
sounds. Multi-time
feature winner Art Joslin was pressuring from the start, and
points leader Steve Douphinette was quickly on the move from
ninth on the grid. Douphinette blasted his way up to third just
three laps in, and he knocked Joslin out of second on lap eight.
Beauregard had already pulled away to a several car
length lead, but Douphinette slowly reeled him in, hoping to
take a shot at the lead. Time ran out just as Douphinette caught up,
and Beauregard took the checkers for his second win of the
season. Douphinette,
Joslin, Rick Woodside, Jr., Ken McIlvaine, Mike Williams, Matt
Robinson, Chris Titcomb, Mike Asselin, and Chris Augevich the
rest of the top ten. Fast-4 action saw Shaun Waites, Jr. once
again getting the job done, catching leader Jeff James on lap 13
to take over the lead.
Matt Magee had an anxious moment when his hood flew up
and blocked his vision, but he stayed off the wall and out of
trouble.
Epping, NH –Round two of the Water SnoGo Big Block Super
Series rumbled through the All-Star Speedway on Saturday
night, with former track champion Chris Perley returning to
his winning ways in the feature event.
Jamie Timmons bolted out to the early lead when flagman Mike
Walker let them loose, with Eric Lewis giving chase for the
first dozen laps.
Perley slipped last Lewis for second at that point,
and he quickly reeled in leader Timmons.
On lap 19, Perley ducked to the low side of Timmons on the
backstretch, and he was in the lead by turn three.
He pulled away to a half-lap lead in no time, and he
went on to easily score the win.
Round one winner Jon McKennedy took second, with
Timmons, Lewis, and Rob Summers rounding out the top five.
Twin 40-lap features were on tap for the NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series All-Star Modifieds, with youngsters
Brett “The Jet” Gonyaw and Josh Cantara taking down the
wins. Brandee
Tree set the pace in the first main, putting in an
impressive run to lead the way for some 30 laps before
losing the spot to Gonyaw.
Once out front, Gonyaw was on a mission, and he went the
distance to pick up the win.
Tree go her career-best finish in the runner-up slot,
with Bobby Gahan, Jacob Dore, Bruce Batchelder, Henry
Stampfl, Rusty Ball, Louie Mechalides, Luke Royea, and
Shelley Perry third through tenth.
In the nightcap, Cantara held off a couple of tough
challenges along the way from Royea and Mechalides, but he
held his line and rolled into the winner’s circle at the end
of the night.
Royea, Mechalides, Batchelder, Gahan, Tree, Mike Ordway,
Jr., Perry, Ball, and Stampfl followed.
Randy Tetreault and Rob DeAlmeida battle side by side for
several laps fighting for the lead in the Super Street main,
with Tetreault eventually gaining the advantage to take sole
possession of the lead on lap eight.
Russ Douphinette was right there waiting in the wings, and
he followed Tetreault to the front and immediately
challenged him for the top spot.
On lap 13, Douphinette made his move down low and
took over the lead.
Former Strictly Stock champ Douphinette went on to post his
career first Super Street win, with Lee Weldy, Sandy Lee,
DeAlmeida, Nick Gravel, Shaun Waites, Chris Lee, John
Bourdelais, Tetreault, and Tony Carroll finishing up the top
ten.
Rick Woodside, Jr. was the man of the hour in the Strictly
Stocks, picking up his third win of the season.
Woodside grabbed the lead when Art Joslin and Steve
Douphinette got together on lap 13, and he went the rest of
the way to grab the victory.
Joslin and Douphinette recovered from their problems to
finish second and third just behind Woodside, with Mike
Asselin, Chris Augevich, Ken McIlvaine, Gary Beauregard, and
Stephen Dubois next in the final rundown.
A special appearance by the V-6 Modifieds once again
entertained the crowd with side-by-side and three-wide
racing at times, as the economy open-wheelers turned some
quick laps on the high banks.
Dick Dubois was the top gun this time out, holding off a
stiff challenge in the late laps from Henry Sirignano, Jr.,
who checkered second.
Keith Caruso took third, with Eric Vilandre and Eric
McGovern rounding out the top five.
In Fast-4 action, teenage sensation Shaun Waites, Jr.
returned to his winning ways, coming from deep in the field
to post the win over Matt Magee, Jim Deveau, Pat Sheehan,
and Tyler Mailhut.
Epping, NH –Louie Mechalides of Tyngsboro, MA once again
dominated the action in the NASCAR Whelen All-American
Series All-Star Modifieds on Saturday night, coming from
deep in the pack to post his fourth feature win of the 2008
season.
The feature event was a wild one from the start, with
several drivers swapping the lead back and forth right from
the start. Eric
LeClair and Brett Gonyaw tangled on the start, with Brandee
Tree picking up the lead for the restart.
Rookie Jacob Dore quickly moved past Tree into the lead,
with Josh Cantara and Luke Royea moving in to make it a
three-way battle for the lead.
Veteran Bobby Gahan was next to join the leaders,
stacking them two-by-two a couple rows deep out front.
At halfway, Dore remained out front, but Royea took over a
few laps later to put in a bid for his first win of the
year. A couple
of restarts shuffled things up at the head of the field,
with Dore and Royea taking turns leading them back into
action.
After an early-race spin, Mechalides used almost all 40 laps
to get in a position to challenge, but a late-race tangle
set up the restart that gave Mechalides a shot at Royea for
the win. Louie
made good, making the pass and going on to score another
win.
Royea collected his best finish of the season in the second
spot, with Rusty Ball, Bruce Batchelder, defending champ
Henry Stampfl, Gonyaw, Dore, Gahan, Cantara, and Mike
Ordway, Jr. finishing up the top ten.
Daryl Stampfl was out front when the Super Late Models took
the green from flagman Mike Walker, but Jimmy Rosenfield
made a quick move and took over the point on lap two.
Rookie Ron Bolduc was right there with Rosenfield,
running door handle to door handle for most of the first
half of the race.
The field quickly reached the crossed flags, with Rosenfield,
Bolduc, J.R. Baril, Eric Hudson, and Bobby Gahan filling the
top five spots.
Hudson got past Baril and Bolduc with ease, and he soon set
his sights on leader Rosenfield.
Approaching the ten to go mark, Rosenfield went spinning to
the infield, with Hudson taking over the lead for the
restart. He was
in command from that point on, pulling the Newmarket Sand
and Gravel machine into victory lane once again at the end
of the night.
Baril gave it everything he had but was forced to settle for
second, with Bolduc, Rich Eaton, Bobby MacArthur, Jay Sands,
Stampfl, Gahan, Dean Pettey, and Steve Johnson rounding out
the tip ten finishers.
Stephen Dubois grabbed the lead when the Strictly Stocks
went green, with Mike Williams all over him looking for a
way past over the first half of the race.
Chris Augevich was having his best run of the year in
third, with Roland Laplante and Rick Woodside, Jr. next at
the halfway point.
Woodside turned on the jets after that, picking them off one
by one until he found his way to the front.
Once there, Woodside was never seriously challenged,
picking up his second win of the year at the finish.
Steve Douphinette grabbed second, with Williams,
Dubois, Art Joslin, Ken McIlvaine, Laplante, Augevich,
Corrie Merritt, and Mike Asselin third through tenth.
A strong field of Fast-4’s assembled for their feature
event, and when the smoke cleared, Nick Maniatis once again
picked up the win after an action-packed feature event. Pat
Sheehan picked up second place honors, with Jim Deveau, Jeff
James, and Randy Flynn third through fifth.
Lane Hodgkins built up a big lead in the Fast-8 main, but a
late-race caution wiped out his advantage.
He continued to lead after the restart, but the race
was far from over for Hodgkins, who cut a tire and spun
while leading with victory in sight.
Brian Destefano got caught up in the
Hodgkins incident, with Christin Burns slipping past the two
leaders to take over the lead.
She went on to collect her second checkered flag of
the season, with Jean Desilets, Destefano, Mark Nevers, and
Hodgkins the rest of the top five. Epping, NH – NASCAR
stars Kyle Busch and Regan Smith were special guests at
All-Star Speedway for a big weekend of racing action,
competing with the regulars of the Pro All-Stars Series in
the All-Star PASS 200, and spending some time with the fans
signing hundreds of autographs. Richie Dearborn, Busch and Kelly Moore
grabbed the heat race wins, and Smith grabbed the checkers
in the last-chance qualifier.
Unfortunately, rain moved in just before the
scheduled start of the feature event, which eventually was
postponed. Modified invaders Ted Christopher and
Matt Hirschman were in the field for a 50-lapper along with
a strong turnout of All-Star Modifieds weekly competitors.
All-Star regular Bill Clement led the first eight
laps of the main, but he lost the point to Hirschman on the
ninth circuit. Christopher was looking pretty strong in
the first half of the race, moving into the top five before
the 20-lap mark, but he suffered mechanical failure on lap
37 and dropped out of the event.
Meanwhile, Hirschman was having no such trouble, and
he held off a determined Louie Mechalides on a couple of
late-race restarts to score the win. Mechalides went home with runner-up
honors, followed by rookie All-Star Modified competitors
Mike Murphy and Josh Cantara. Jacob Dore, Jon McKennedy,
Brett Gonyaw, Luke Royea, Bobby Gahan, and Rusty Ball
followed.

Dubois into the lead, and it was all but over from there. Douphinette went the distance to collect
another checkered flag, with Woodside, Williams, Dubois,
Beauregard, Asselin, Ennis, Mountain, Joslin, and Robbie
Robinson the rest of the top ten. Joey Ventrillo held the lead in the early
laps of the Super Street main event, with John Bourdelais
and second-generation racer Nick Gravel right behind.
Gravel got past Bourdelais for second on lap eight,
with Russ Douphinette following in his tire tracks. Ventrillo had problems and wound up
finishing last, with Russ Douphinette up to lead the pack
under the crossed flags with Gravel, Sandy Lee, Tony
Carroll, and Chris Lee next in the running order.
Sandy Lee made his way past Gravel shortly afterwards
to get second, and he quickly set his sights on leader
Douphinette. With the checkers in sight, Lee snuck
past Douphinette on the low side to take the win, with
Douphinette, Gravel, Chris Lee, Ron Bolduc, Carroll, Lee
Weldy, Chris Sullivan, Rob MacRae, and Rob DeAlmeida the
rest of the top ten. The PASS Sportsman division ran a special
75-lap feature event, with a few of the All-Star guys taking
them on to defend their home turf.
Neil Evans led early before losing out to Lee Weldy,
but when Weldy broke and dropped out on lap15, Evans found
himself out front once more. Sandy Lee got by to take over from Evans,
but Ron Bolduc was a man on a mission, and he outgunned both
Evans and Lee to take his turn out front.
With a clear racetrack in front of him, Bolduc pulled
away to score a convincing win over Evans, Richie Morse,
Geoff Rollins, and Chris Lee. Epping, NH – The ground-pounding Big
Block Supermodifieds made their triumphant return to
All-Star Speedway on Saturday night, with the running of the
first round of the 2008 Water SnoGo Big Block Super Series. Jamie Timmons jumped out to the lead when
the Big Blocks took the green, and he set the pace for the
first half of the race with Mike Ordway, Jr. hot on his
heels in the Bruce Budnick entry.
Jon McKennedy was quickly working his way to the
front in the Dunigan racing entry, taking over third on lap
seven. Ordway took over the point at halfway, as
Timmons’ night went downhill with a spin coming off turn
four. McKennedy
was alongside Ordway for the restart, but he didn’t stay
there for long.
He outgunned Ordway to take over the lead, and pulled away
to score a convincing win. Ordway held on to a loose car in the late
going and picked up a strong second place finish, with crowd
favorite Chris Perley coming back from mid-race problems to
finish third.
Rob Summers piloted the Howie Lane entry to fourth, with
Eric Lewis rounding out the top five. Louie Mechalides of Tyngsboro, MA
continued his march toward the 2008 NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series championship in All-Star Modified
competition, taking down his second straight win in the
40-lap feature event. Polesitter Mike Murphy outran veteran
Rusty Ball to establish himself as the man to beat early on,
with Luke Royea and Bobby Gahan soon joining the lead
battle. By lap
20, Mechalides was up from eleventh on the starting grid to
run fourth, and he was headed to the front. Louie put away Royea for third on lap 25,
and Gahan fell soon after.
When Josh Cantara spun to bring caution on the field
at lap 31, it set up the restart that Mechalides needed.
He got the jump on Murphy and took over the lead,
cruising on to victory from there. The win was Mechalides’ third of the
year, and second in the MacArthur Motorsports entry.
Freshman Murphy held on to score runner-up honors,
with Royea, Gahan, Bruce Batchelder, Ball, Cantara, Henry
Stampfl, Brett Gonyaw, and Jacob Dore the rest of the top
ten. Defending and two-time champion Ron
Bolduc made his return to the Super Street ranks in style,
picking up his first win of the year in his first start.
Rob DeAlmeida took control of the race at the start,
holding off a determined Chuck Dehney for the first ten laps
of the race. Dehney got by DeAlmeida for the lead on
lap 11, and he was still out front with the checkers in
sight, with Sandy Lee battling him hard for the top spot.
Dehney had enough trouble with lee alongside, but
Bolduc made a quick move underneath both of them and wound
up taking the win. Lee checkered second, with Dehney, Lee
Weldy, DeAlmeida, Russ Douphinette, Joe Dehney, Chris Lee,
Tony Carroll, and Steve Wilmot the remainder of the top ten. Double features were on tap for the
Strictly Stocks, and it was Rick Woodside, Jr. picking up
his first win of the year in the early run.
Art Joslin challenged hard for the lead over the
second half of the race, but he came up a couple of car
lengths short at the checkers. Woodside held off the determined Joslin
to grab the checkers, with Stephen Dubois, Steve Douphinette,
Corrie Merritt, Ken McIlvaine, Mike Williams, John Swain,
Roland Laplante, and Jared Mountain the rest of the top ten. Joslin bettered his finish by a spot in
the second feature, bringing car owner Mike White his first
win of the year.
Points leader Douphinette grabbed second, with Merritt,
McIlvaine, Williams, Swain, Woodside, Gary Beauregard, Mike
Asselin, and Chris Augevich next in the final rundown. The V-6 Modifieds were in town for their
first appearance of the year, with New York driver Rod Lyons
jumping out to the early lead.
Dick Dubois took over the top spot when Lyons dropped
off the pace, with Allan Rieser, Jr. following him to the
front. After a spirited battle for the lead,
Rieser prevailed and went on to take home the win.
Dubois, Eric Vilandre, Keith Caruso, and Chris
Kuebler were next across the stripe. Jeff James slipped past polesitter Cindy
Sevigny for the lead when Mike Walker let the Fast-4’s
loose, but points leader Jim Deveau headed to the outside
and took over the lead on lap four.
Nick Maniatis knocked him off the point a lap later,
and it was pretty much his race to lose from there. Jesse Tellier caught Maniatis with
several laps remaining, but he didn’t have quite enough to
complete the pass.
Maniatis held on to capture the checkers, with
Tellier, Timmy Johnson, Shaun Waites, Jr., Deveau, James,
Ryan Scott, Matt Magee, Gary West, and Jamie Scott the rest
of the top ten. Bobby Ballantine and Christin Burns waged
a tight battle for the lead n the Fast-8 feature event, with
Brian Destefano moving in up the late going to make it a
three-car battle for the lead.
Ballantine continued to set the pace at the white
flag, but the race was far from over. Coming off turn four on the final lap,
Ballantine went spinning through the infield, with Burns
edging out Destefano to score her first win of the season.
Despite the last-lap spin, Ballantine crossed the
line third, with Lane Hodgkins and Josh Wintle rounding out
the top five.
