Eric Lindblad wins the Mike Estrada State Farm 4 Cylinder Enduro

Jason Porter back on top in the Peanuts Auto LLC Four Cylinders

Bear Ridge Speedway

95.3 & 107.1 the Wolf feature winners were: Tanner Siemons in the Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds, Cody Gregoropoulos in the DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes, Will Hull in the USAC DMA Midgets, Jason Porter in the Peanuts Auto Four Cylinders, and Eric Lindblad in the State Farm Mike Estrada 4 Cylinder Enduro.

In the DIRTcar Sabil & Sons Sportsman Modifieds Jason Gray didn’t get the finish he was looking for, with a new face crossing the line ahead of him. Tanner Siemons will be credited for breaking the Grey winning streak as he is the one who took the lead and the checkers for their main event. Coming home in second was Walt Hammond, with Gray filling in the final victory lane spot. Robert Tucker and Walter Hammond (little Walt) completed the top five.

Last week’s feature winner was bookmarked by two young guns in the Wells River Chevrolet DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes. Hoping to make it two in a row, Horniac ran out of time in his attempt to cross the finish line first. He would watch the checkers wave just in front of him over Cody Gregoropoulos who crossed the line first. Joining the two of them in victory lane was Cody Copland. Ryan Christian and Will Hull, both double duty drivers rounded out the top five.

It was about Will Hull when he got back behind the wheel of his regular machine in the USAC DMA Midgets. Starting from the mid pack he took over the lead on lap five and never looked back. Teammate Seth Carlson was able to work his way to the bridesmaid position to join Hull in victory lane. Rookie Brandon Piastka claimed the final victory lane spot. Scott Holcomb had an impressive run in his first time back in a DMA Midget in several years, posting a sixth-place finish. Justin Phillips and Floyd Billington completed the top five.

The C.A. Miller Limited Late Models and LaValley’s Building Supply Dirt Stockers were off and will be returning to action on August 1st.

Jason Porter made it back on top in the Peanuts Auto Four Cylinders coming from deep in the pack. He was able to beat out his number one rival Buddy Welch who had to settle for 2nd place finishing position, and just one spot short of a triple crown. Bobby Bell joined the two in the third place spot in victory lane. Kevin

The Mike Estrada State Farm 4 Cylinder Enduro filled the pits with forty five cars with forty three able to take the green. When the dust settled on their 75 lap event, last years champion was the winner with Taylor Sayers second and Jeff Mitchell third. Kyle Blakeman and Ryan Christian completed the top five. The Mike Estrada State Farm 4 Cylinder Enduro will be returning for action on Saturday August 29th.

The WYKR Sprint Cars of New England are scheduled to return on August 1st.

Racing action will resume this coming Saturday August 1st with our John Poor Memorial Coupe Madness Night Sponsored by Walker Motor Sales.

As per the designated VT state guidelines, we will continue to enforce social distancing and face coverings at all times. All people entering the property will be required to wear face coverings at all times and to be temperature checked. If you have a favorite section, you may want to reserve your tickets by emailing [email protected]. To order your tickets ahead of time email [email protected] by Friday July 31st. Any requests received after that cannot be filled, but tickets are available at the gate. We want to again thank everyone for their continued cooperation, we continue to work to improve our process and procedures, and from what we are hearing most fans are very happy to be back at the track, and are thankful for our efforts to keep all of us safe, we sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.

KEEP POINTS TO KNOW and REMEMBER we are working under the “arrive, play and leave” mentality. Groups may not gather before during or after activities (no tailgating, etc.). You will NOT be able to go into any section but the one your tickets are in. You will NOT be able to leave the grandstand area to go out to your vehicle. NO ONE will be able to come out of the pits to see you. You can NOT arrive before the gates open to save your seats. You will be required to provide your name and phone number for contact tracing purposes. Again we are working under the “arrive, play and leave” mentality.

General Admission tickets $12.00 adults, $10.00 seniors & teens, $2.00 kids. Pit entry fee is $25.00 for 2020 Registered members, and $30.00 for non-members- (plus the front gate fee) must be over the age of eleven to enter the pits.

Gates will open at 3:00pm gates and will be close at 7:00 pm. No entry will be allowed after that time. You will be required to enter your designated ticket area or pits immediately upon arrival, there will be no “tailgating” before the events. Racing will kick into gear at 6:00 pm(ish), based on track conditions.  Once the events have concluded for the evening everyone will be required to leave the facility, there will be no “tailgating” after the events. Once you enter designated ticket area or the pits you will not be able to leave, (there will be no reentry), if you leave you will be required to leave the property immediately.

We are just as anxious as everyone is to get things back to our “new norm” until then we continue to work diligently within the Vermont State guidelines, to ensure that we are doing everything in our power to keep everyone safe, and sincerely appreciate your understanding. As we progress, we will keep you updated of any changes. Racing will kick into gear at 6:00 pm(ish), based on track conditions, and as always Visa and MasterCard are accepted. 

April May and Butch are now on air with Stephen John for all the updates happening at the Ridge every Friday morning from 6:30 to 7:00 on WYKR.
