CLAREMONT, N.H. – Nobody was happier in victory lane Friday, April 24, than Tyler Lescord. The popular second generation wheelsman ended an eleven-year winless drought by rocketing to victory in the night’s Outlaw Late Model main event.
Lescord, a 25-year veteran of oval track racing, took the lead on lap 22 of the night’s main event and charged off to his first career Outlaw Late Model feature win. Prior to Friday, his last victory came back in 2015 at Monadnock Speedway.
He was one of three drivers scoring there first win at the Thrasher Road speedplant Friday. Michael Casey earned his first CMP victory lap in the Six Shooters, and Lane Lantas dominated en route to his first in the Ridge Runners.
Former track champ Ben Poland won the 79-lap Outlaw Late Model main event Saturday at Claremont Motorsports Park. Midget car legend Randy Cabral topped the NEMA feature, and former speedway Pure Stock king Chris Chambers outran a 20-car field to win his opening day top event.
On a perfect April Saturday afternoon, the historic third-mile oval began its 79th consecutive season with a blockbuster eight-division Spring Fling event. And although day two of the scheduled weekend-long event was scrubbed due to rain, the Saturday biggie set the stage well for the oval’s 2026 Weekly Racing Series schedule that kicks off next Friday, April 24, with the green flag flying at 7 p.m.
Other winners Saturday at CMP included Chase Curtis, scoring his first career CMP victory in the Crown Vics, Michael Yeaton, who topped the Six Shooters, and Zach Martinez, a first-time speedway winner in the NEMA Lites. Powerhouse Andrew Harmon topped the New England Dwarf Car Series feature, and Kendall Whitehill was first under the checkers in the 603 Mini Cups.
