BRADFORD, VT – What a night of racing it was for the final event of the 2014 racing season at the ridge with an over flowing pit area providing edge of your seat racing for the fans on Crate Motor Nationals Spencer Rocke Memorial night sponsored by Shaker Valley Auto
The DIRTcar Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds ran their 100 lap event with a big win at the line. Time trials set the field, with Tim Tucker once again setting fast time at 13.857. A couple of cautions slowed the pace early taking out Adam Pierson and later Bob Shepard who hit the back stretch wall hard. When racing resumed the stretch of green flag racing had every fan catching their breath. Donnelly found himself on the last restart having some company to contend with, as Kevin Chaffee started pounding on his door. The two would swap positions for the next 50 laps as they worked their way thru lapped cars. Two more cautions late in the race gave Chaffee the advantage he needed as Donnelly had a tire going. Chaffee was able to hold on for the win with Donnelly saving second. Third went to Jason Gray with TC Forward and Josh Sunn rounding out the top five. Trevor Rocke, Spencer Rocke’s son came home 17th in only his second appearance at the Ridge in 2014.

From the first segment 21 of the 25 cars would be inverted for the second segment line up with the additional three completing the field.

Segment three was Gary Siemons and Ryan Christian Canaan NH to set the pace on the field. Siemons led a majority of segment three until late in the event when Christian was able to capitalize on a bobble by Siemons and take over the lead.
