New England Motorsports North!

      June 16, Brockton, MA--- At first glance, fans attending the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 might not recognize New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but one look up and there is no doubt that they will know where they are. New Hampshire Motor Speedway is undergoing a new and improved look. Fans who pass the speedway are sure to notice the obvious improvements to the signs facing Route 106. The Main, North and South entrances are now marked with bigger and brighter signs, including modern, electronic message boards on two of the signs. Branding of New Hampshire Motor Speedway is evident on elevator towers, along the face of the VIP Suites and the main entrance. In addition, a new design is featured on the infield tunnel entrance and exit. Inside the property, upgrades continue. The grandstands will be identified with larger banners, making it easier for fans to find their seats. The bathrooms and concessions stands are now color-coded for easier identification. Additionally, 200 portable restrooms will be available during the event weekends. Routes around the property have been paved and redefined for more efficient traffic flow, and to enable lanes for the new tram system.

       New directional signage has been erected to guide guests out of the property after the race. "Our Chairman, Bruton Smith, is known for his vision and commitment to providing world-class facilities for our fans," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway. "We are in the very early stages of the first phase of improvements to our facility. As Bruton likes to say, 'We'll make enough changes, you're bound to like some of them!'" The cosmetic enhancements are impressive, but less obvious changes will also make for a more enjoyable experience. Upgrades have been made to the PA system and the television compound to improve the fan experience.

      Besides being responsible to its guests, New Hampshire Motor Speedway also recognizes its need to be a good neighbor in the community. In an effort to be more 'green', all of dumpsters on property have been replaced with a new sealed system that keeps waste contained and is eventually transported off property. There is no doubt that New Hampshire Motor Speedway has transformed from the inside out. But no matter what it looks like, New Hampshire Motor Speedway's main focus still remains the same - to give the fans the best possible experience every time they come to visit. Tickets are still available for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 on June 29, and the SYLVANIA 300 on September 14. For more information, visit online at www.nhms.com or call the speedway Ticket Hotline at (603) 783-4931.

         An innovative economic stimulus program for race fans attending the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway will offer ticket holders the opportunity to have their mortgage or rent paid through the rest of the year, share in $10,000 worth of free gas or experience the luxury of suite level seats. All race fans that have purchased a ticket by the close of business on June 25 will be eligible to receive these rewards. The winners will be announced as part of the pre-race ceremonies for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 on Sunday, June 29. "Our fans are our greatest asset," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager for the speedway.

      "In these challenging economic times, we need to recognize those who support the speedway by giving them an opportunity to enhance their experience with some innovative rewards. Today, people have to make choices on how they invest their time and money on entertainment. We want them to choose New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the LENOX Industrial Tools 301. This program is a thank you to our loyal ticket buyers and certainly is an incentive for those fans thinking about coming, but are still on the fence."

       The first part of the economic stimulus program is providing some relief from the ever-climbing gas prices. The speedway will be selecting 20 lucky fans attending the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 to each receive $500 gas cards from Sunoco. Norman Brooks will be the first fan recognized for his loyalty and support of the speedway. Mr. Gappens will present Mr. Brooks the first Sunoco gas card during today's press conference. Brooks, a Northfield, N.H., resident has been attending events at the speedway for over a decade, and has been a ticket holder since the inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race held at NHMS in 1993.

       Gas-prices aside, one of the major concerns for many of our fans is the constant rise of housing costs and the growing home mortgage foreclosure crisis. Five finalists will be selected from LENOX Industrial Tools 301 ticket holders to be eligible to receive the ultimate fan reward - full monthly payments of their primary mortgage (excluding escrow payments) or rent through December 2008, up to $2,500 per month. The winning recipient of this incredible reward will be selected from the five finalists on-stage during pre-race activities on June 29. Prior to the start of the LENOX Industrial Tools 301, 10 lucky fans, along with one guest, will be given the opportunity to experience the luxury of a VIP suite for the SYLVANIA 300 on Sunday, September 14, 2008. For the opportunity to be included in the economic stimulus program, fans may purchase tickets to the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 online at www.nhms.com or by calling the speedway's Ticket Hotline at (603) 783-4931.

      Late Model stock car driver Trampas Demers scored a rare Triple Crown victory in the Ferguson Waterworks event at Barre’s Thunder Road on Thursday night. The South Burlington driver swept his qualifying heat, the bonus “semi-feature,” and then held off strong challenges from his father, Dennis, and Dave Whitcomb to win the 50-lap feature race for the American-Canadian Tour Late Model class. The victory was Trampas Demers’ first of the season, and made up for a bitter defeat at the Harvest Equipment Mother’s Day race on May 11 when his car shut down while leading with 10 laps remaining.

      There was little doubt it was Friday the 13th at the Lee USA Speedway this week, as the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Models had an extremely rough run in their feature event.

        Katrina Canney busted out from the pole to grab the lead when flagman Bryon Callen unfurled the green for the One Stop Toy Shop Late Models, and she set the pace for the first eight laps before losing the top spot to Jeffrey Labrecque, Jr.

      Larry Gelinas was next to get past Canney to run second, but Wayne Helliwell, Jr. was coming, and he knocked both of them off to take over the second spot on lap 18.  At halfway, it was Labrecque, Helliwell, Gelinas, Canney and Miles Chipman in the top five.

      Contact between the leaders on lap 28 sent Helliwell into the wall and for a wild spin, but everybody else managed to sneak by without getting collected in the incident.  Four laps later, Canney spun coming off turn four, and that one didn't turn out quite as well.

         More than half the field piled into each other or the wall by the time the smoke cleared, although several teams were able to make repairs and return to the track after the cleanup.

       Gelinas got past Labrecque for the lead shortly after the restart, with Chipman right on his bumper.  Jeremy Harclerode added his name to the dnf list after bouncing off the backstretch wall on lap 32.

      Chipman ducked underneath Gelinas to take over the lead on lap 36, just before J.R. Baril halted the action when he slammed the wall in turn one a lap later.  The crash resulted in a yellow/checker for Chipman, who picked up his second win of the season over Gelinas, Labrecque, and Canney.

         Dan Bowes and Ben Tinker sat on the front row for the Mac Tools Small Block Super feature event, with Tinker taking the outside line to the lead.  Bowes gave chase for the first five laps, but Eddie Witkum, Jr. was coming, and coming fast.

     Witkum slipped past Bowes for second on lap six, but Tinker had already pulled away to a several car length lead.  Witkum gradually reeled Tinker in, but he couldn't find a way past.  Tinker went on to score the win, with Bowes, Danny Lane, Witkum, and Jim Lowrey, Jr. the rest of the top five.

        The incident at the end of the Late Model feature led to the postponement of the remainder of the program, with the Prime Storage Late Model Sportsmen, Planet Aid Hobby Stocks, Roadrunners, and American Auto Parts Ironman division all slated for double features for next week.

     Tempers were hot and the racing was rough Saturday night at Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, NH. Rain threatened, but they managed to get all of the feature events in before the showers moved in. Brandon Warren brought in his first win of the season in the Mini Stock division. Bill Johnston won in the Super Stocks. The All Star Race Truck Series was at Monadnock this weekend and Andy Lindeman brought home the win in that division. Matt Mead was the first repeat winner for the Late Models, and Barry Gray won a wild one in the Outlaw Pro division. Jeff Kirley picked up his third win in the Full Size enduros.

        Twenty Mini Stocks took the track first for a caution free 25 laps. Rich Fournier brought them to the green, followed by Ricky Labrecque, Anthony Cassesse, Joe Rogers and Rick Sault III. By lap 4, Rogers had moved into second place and he took the lead on lap 12. Brandon Warren moved quickly through the field and had taken second by lap 13. On lap 14, Warren made a bid for the lead and the leaders went three wide around a lap car. On lap 16, Fournier pulled his car into the infield with mechanical issues. Warren couldn't pull away from the second place car of Rogers. On lap 17 they ran Warren, Rogers, Joseph Kendall, Chris McTaggart, and Derek Bergquist. The top 5 were all on top of one another coming in to lap 20. Warren finally managed to pull away after lap 21. On lap 23, Kendall and Bergquist got together fighting for fourth, and lost position. Warren pulled away from the field and reached the checkers first, with Rogers in second, McTaggart in third, Ed Brehio III in fourth, and Bergquist in fifth. It was Warren's first win of the season. In Victory Lane, the recent high school graduate said, "Just happy to be here, great win."

       The Super Stocks were next out on the track for 25 laps. John Hall of Shelburne Falls, Ma. sat on the pole. Bill Johnston of Athol, Ma., lined up on the outside pole followed by Paul Smith, Bob Bedaw, and Dan Frederick. Johnston, who won his qualifying heat, took the lead on lap 2 and never let it go. Frederick mounted a late race charge, but wasn't able to get around the 37 machine of Johnston. The race was caution free, but exciting nonetheless. By lap 9, Johnston had a five car-length lead over Hall, Frederick, Smith, and Ken Springer. On lap 12, Frederick moved into second place and began to gain on Johnston. By lap 19, Frederick had closed to 3 car lengths and he was on Johnston's bumper by lap 21. Frederick tried for the win on the inside of turn 4 coming to the checkers, but he came up short and Johnston took the win. Frederick came home second, Hall was third, Springer was fourth and Bedaw worked his way into fifth. "It all stayed together tonight, thank God," Johnston said in Victory Lane, when asked about his new transmission.

        Next, the All Star Race Trucks made an appearance at Monadnock Speedway. Chris Austill of Waterford, CT, led the nine trucks on to the track. Greg Butler was on the outside pole, followed by Derek Chriss, Chris Correll, and Andy Lindeman. It was a smooth start, but Austill soon lost position to Butler.  Lindeman moved into third by lap 2 and had made it to second by lap 4. Correll was shuffled back to fourth by lap 5.  Butler maintained his lead, followed by Lindeman, George Perry, Correll, and Chriss. On lap 10, Lindeman made a move for the lead on the outside. Butler held him off and Perry made his move to the inside of Lindeman. They battled side by side for second, but Lindeman managed to power by both Perry and Butler and take the lead, which he held for the rest of the race. Perry moved into second. On lap 14, Thomas Smith, in the 64 truck went off the track in turns 3 and 4. On lap 16, one of third place Perry's wheels came off the truck in turn four, bringing out the caution.

       Matthew Ferris took his truck to the infield as it overheated. For the restart with nine laps to go there were just seven trucks on the track. With five to go, the caution flag flew again, this time for Austill spinning in turn 4. They restarted in single file and Correll wanted second place from Butler. He tried on the outside and then on the inside and they made contact in turn 4 with three laps to go which sent them both spinning. It didn't bring out the caution, and both trucks ended up losing several positions. Lindeman took the checkers, followed by Chriss, Mike Carrigg, Austill, and Correll. "It got a little hairy at the end, but we hung on to it so it was a good finish for us," said Lindeman in Victory Lane.

        Next, Jason Lafleur led the Late Models on to the track for their 30-lap feature event. Last week's winner Darrell Keane sat on the outside pole, followed by Aaron Fellows, Matt Mead, and John Lavoie. Coming into the race, the top three in points, Adam Gray, Lavoie and Fellows were separated by only 6 points. They came to the green and Lafleur went wide coming out of turn 4 and pushed Keane up against the outside wall. They got together again on the front stretch and collected Geoff Rollins. The caution flew for the 03 car of Andy Brooks Jr. who spun in turn 4. It took a few laps to get everyone sorted out and in the right position and they restarted on lap 2 with Mead in the lead, followed by Lafleur, Keane, Guy Caron, and Fellows.

      On the restart Keane moved into second and Lafleur got hung out in the outside lane, where he fell out of the top 5. Mead pulled out to a good lead over Keane, and Caron challenged for second and took it on lap 7. On lap 10 Fellows moved inside Keane and took third. By lap 12, Mead had pulled out to a half a straightaway lead over Caron, Fellows, Keane and Gray. The biggest battle on the track was between Gray and Keane for fourth, it started on lap 15 and Gray finally took the position on lap 25. By lap 26 Fellows had caught Caron for second, but fell short by a few feet at the finish. Mead picked up his second win of the season, Caron came home second, followed by Fellows. Mead was the first repeat winner of the season in the Late Model division.

       Tempers also flared in the Outlaw Pro feature race. Ron Smith brought them to the green for the 40-lap feature event. Rob Williams was on the outside pole, Bryon Baker started third in a brand new racecar, Phil Meany fourth and Fran Colson fifth. Brandon Ovitt, who was sixth in points coming in to the night, didn't make the race because he crashed in practice, causing enough damage to his car to keep him from starting.  As the green flag flew, Smith jumped out in the lead but would soon lose it to Barry Gray on lap 13. On lap 9, Jeff Zuidema wiggled coming out of the corner and Colson got into him, mangling Colson's left front fender, but not enough for him to take it to the pits. Zuidema and Baker engaged in a fierce battle for fifth that sent Baker spinning through the infield on lap 15, but did not draw a caution. Gray still maintained a half a straightaway lead over Smith, Meany, Williams, and Zuidema. By lap 23 Zuidema was all over Williams' bumper and moved to the inside on lap 24. They banged fenders and sent up a cloud of smoke and sparks. By lap 26, an upset Baker, now a lap down, had caught up with Zuidema and sent the fourth place car spinning in turn 3. This drew the caution and both Baker and Zuidema went to the pits.

        They returned in time for the restart, where they were both put at the rear of the field. On the restart it was Zuidema on the rear bumper of Baker and he sent him spinning through the infield once again. During the caution Zuidema stopped next to Baker in the infield and they appeared to exchange words. They then both retired to the pits. The field restarted on lap 26, with Gray still in the lead. Colson finally completely shredded his fender, but kept going with a smoking tire. Second place Meany was just starting to catch Gray and made a move to the inside on lap 33, but couldn't make it stick. The fourth, fifth and sixth cars of Williams, Mike Parks, and Russ Hersey were battling for position when Hersey and Parks got together on the backstretch. Parks spun, bringing out the third caution of the night. Just as the caution flag waved, Colson blew his radiator in turn 3, spreading fluid all over the track.

       It was a long caution as the track crew applied speedy dry to the track and cleaned up all the debris. They restarted with 3 laps to go, Gray still in the lead, followed by Meany, Williams, Steve Gauthier, and Hersey. As the white flag flew, Williams got up into the speedy dry and went wide, allowing Gauthier, Hersey and Parks by on the inside. Gray reached the finish line several car lengths ahead of second place Meany and picked up his second win of the season. "We just want to win races and have fun, and that's what we're thinking, the rest will follow," said Gray when asked about the possibility of a championship. Third place Gauthier remarked, "Finally we got our chance to share a little bit of the limelight."

       The skies were looking threatening as the Full Size Enduros rumbled on to the track for their 50-lap event. Wesley Johnson, in the 29 car, led the field to the green, but the Jon Wyman jumped out front, Johnson caught up however and took the lead back on the first lap. They went 3-wide for the lead in turns 1 and 2 and Mark Rosenblatt came out on top. On lap 6 Rosenblatt led Wyman, Ryan Rivet, Jeff Kirley, and Johnson. Rivet looked to the outside of Wyman for second and they raced side by side as the leader pulled away. Rivet made it to second on lap 9, only to be passed by Kirley on the next lap. Dan Stoodley went by Wyman for fourth. On lap 17, Rosenblatt had stretched out his lead over Kirley, Rivet, Stoodley, and Ed Lofland. Bucky Sheats moved into fifth on lap 19. By lap 21 Kirley had caught the leader and took the lead from Rosenblatt on the backstretch. Kirley pulled away and Lofland spun in turn 4.

       There was a large amount of smoke coming from Johnson, the pole sitter, and he went to the pits on lap 27. Kirley's lead was so big that he lapped the fifth place car of Sheats on lap 29 and had a full straightaway lead over second place. With less than 10 laps to go, Stoodley was catching Rosenblatt for second as the rest of the top 5 spread out. Kirley continued to pull away, with a half lap lead over Stoodley in second. With 2 to go Matt Pereira spun in turn 2 and kept going. Kirley picked up his third win of the season and will no longer be eligible for wins in this division. Stoodley finished second, Rosenblatt third, Rivet fourth, and Sheats came home fifth.

            The gloomy forecast did nothing to slow down the large crowd from filling up the grandstands again this past Saturday night at the P.A.S.S. sanctioned Riverside Speedway in Groveton, New Hampshire, as the red hot racing action continued on Vermont Milk Company night. Winners on the evening included Doug Laleme, Luke Shannon, Cody Hodge, Ernie Laplant, Miranda Gervais, Nick Gilcris and Jesse Switser.

            Even though the Optical Expressions Outlaw Sportsman are low on numbers, they continue to put on a great show for the crowd. Point leader Derek Ming was MIA, and this allowed a new winner to emerge, as Doug Laleme grabbed the top spot on lap 18 and cruised to his first win of the season. The torrid battle for second through fifth wasn’t decided until turn four of the last lap, as Reggie Theroux held off the challenge of Steve Patnaude to secure the runner-up position. David Ofsuryk Jr., and newcomer, Ron Watson completed the top five. Theroux won the lone qualifier.

            The Budweiser Super Stocks continued to keep the fans on the edge of their seats, as Luke Shannon and Nathan Swallow hooked up in an incredible duel to the finish. It appeared that Jason Kenison was on his way to a career first victory, but lady luck wasn’t riding with him as a brake rotor broke at the mid-race marker ending his bid for victory. At this point Shannon and Swallow set the pace for the next 15 laps as they raced nose to tail, and side-by-side to the finish with Shannon grabbing the win, Swallow was second, followed by a career best third place finish for Jamie Longley. Matt Carbone and Brian Middleton rounded out the top five. Heat checkers flew for Kenison and Jason Rogers.

            The River Bend RV Street Stocks saw rookie driver, Cody Hodge, pick up an impressive first win over Michael Smith, Shawn Swallow, Alex Theroux and Ryan Heuser. Hodge inherited the lead after front-runners, Tori Delabruere and Tyler Therrien tangled, bringing out the caution. Hodge was able to beat Smith to the line by three car lengths. Tom Sokolis and Delabruere won their respective qualifiers.

            Ernie Laplant kept his winning streak in tact as he blistered the field of Twisted Tea Dwarf Cars once again. Eric Hall battled his way to second ahead of Dana Huoppi, Nathan Brown and Bobby Riley. Laplant also won the preliminary race.

            The Leo Enos Landscaping Angels put on a whale of a show for the fans, and after a shaky start to the event, settled down and put on a tremendous race.  Miranda Gervais picked up her second win of the season, but it was a battle to end as Shirley Ward raced by her with four laps to go, before she battled back in traffic, and picked up the win. Jennie Dion raced home to a solid second place finish ahead of Vanessa Brown, Ward and Johanna Christman.

            Last week, the Kids Only Daycare Daredevil Rookie division struggled to complete their race with five cautions and a rollover red to end the race. On Saturday morning they attended their second driver school of the season, and it paid off as they went green to checkers. Nick Gilcris lead the way to the checkers ahead of Lyndsay Dawson, Nick Miller, Brent Ming and Erin Hudson. Jesse Switser outraced the field in the Veterans feature. Kyle Pembroke, Brandon Lambert, Brett Gervais and Dilyn Switser followed him to the stripe.

            The first Spectator Drags of the season took place and it was a wild affair. After the dust settled, “Hammering” Heyward Herriott held off “Dyno” Dan Benoit to grab the trophy.

            The first 4x4 Tug O’ War was held and the winners included Steve Tremaine in the ½ ton, Paul Morency in the ¾ ton and Travis Plante won the diesel class.

            Racing continues this coming Saturday night as North Country Ford presents the night at the races. The Late Models return along with the Super Stocks, Street Stocks, Daredevils, Angels and Cyclones. Post time is 6pm.

       This Saturday, Monadnock Speedway will host the first appearance of the Pro 4 Modifieds to the quarter-mile high-banked track along Outlaw pros, Late Models, Super Stocks, Mini Stocks and 4-cylinder Enduros. Race time is at 6 p.m.

      Ken Coolbeth returned to his native New England to kick-off the Laconia Bike Week at the Rochester Fairgrounds in NH on the half-mile dirt track. The defending AMA champion, of two divisions, rode his HD machine to a win in the Twins and a Honda in the 450 Pro Series.  Ken, sponsored by Bettencourt Honda/Suzuki of W. Bridgewater, MA, bested a strong contingent of NY competitors in the Twin and 450 Pro events.

     Other winners included Henry Landry of Concord, NH in the Vintage class, Ed Fatzinger of Bath, PA in the Brakeless division and Kevin Poulit of Quebec in the Sportsman. Another Quebec competitor  Fred Duchesneau took the 85 feature. James Rispoli, formerly of Londonderry, NH, now calling Attica, NY home, won the Pro Sport Feature.
