Richie Simmons Garners Sportsman Modified Mid-Season Championship

For Immediate Release BRS-070718-1

Dennis Preston Builders Mid-Season Championship Night found the action hot and heavy in the 99ROCK Weekly Racing Series with Double Points on the line making for another exciting evening of racing at Bear Ridge Speedway.

The Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds saw Ricky Sanvillle jump to the lead and maintain it through the halfway point when Richie Simmons took command and led the rest of the way to take the win. Kevin Chaffee took second from Sanville just a lap after Simmons took the lead and went on to finish second. Ricky Sanville was a solid third as the lead trio had quite a distance on fourth place finisher Mike Dunn. Current Points leader Robert Tucker was fifth.

While it was total domination by defending track Champion Brian Chaffee in the Wells River Chevrolet DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes the battles behind him were intense with the positions in the top five changing frequently. At the Checkers it was Brian Chaffee with the win. Melvin Pierson made a late race charge to finish second with Jason Colbeth third. Current Points leader Chris LaForest was fourth with Todd Heyward completing the top five.

The WYKR Sprint Cars of New England put on a show going caution free. Will Hull used the high side to rocket into the lead early in the race and went on to take the win. Matt Hoyt closed in on Hull a couple of times but never really got close enough to seriously challenge for the lead. Dennis McLeod ran third most of the race but a late race move netted Luke Greenwood third at the checkers. Jake Williams and Jordan Fornwalt rounded out the top five.

Ryan Christian continued his absolute dominance of the C.A. Miller Limited Late Models., taking the lead after a lap twelve restart and going on to take the victory unchallenged. Toby Stark hopped a ride in the Nutter #07 and finished second with Rookie George Osgood third. Kelly Miller and John Neddo completed the top five.

The Weglarz Property Services Four Cylinders proved to be a marathon affair with lots of cautions. Jesse Durkee took the lead from Buddy Welch h on lap eight and survived to take the win. Buddy Welch was second with Bobby Bell, who started last in the 21 car field was third. Rookies Garrett Brown and Cody Copeland completed the top five.

The Granite State Mini Sprints were also on hand with William Pinkham Sr rolling to Victory in the 500cc Feature and Zach Herbert taking a dominating win in the 600cc Main event.
